Unfortunately, USS Yorktown is still to be moded, since US carrier in SH4 is USS Wasp! Luckely, it was the most involved US carrieer in the Atlantic operations in the first stages of WW2. Furtunately, with some changes in 3d she could be remodelleed into Yorktown and even Essex classes. I wish I could see Lex and Sara as well one day.

I was pretty disgusted by the behavior of certain companies in recent years w/respect to aircraft and ship designs. You'd think they would show a little gratitude towards the people who are helping preserve our collective history - instead, they're hitting them up for $ and being as mean-spirited as possible while they're at it. I recommend that simulation designers simply model exact copies of historical vehicles and give them fictional names, just like several producers have done with famous car brands in the past.

Good work with the model - I agree that it is a better stand-in for the Wasp than the Yorktown.
