I didn't choose either of those as they seem to have been built very recently by other members. Anyway, I do not have Forrestal in my stash.

We could always have a liner GB...

I don't have any battleships or cruisers that I wish to part of a Group Build anyway.

I would like to build a destroyer or two though.

You may remember my nautical "Boss Builds" planned for this year - RNLI Lifeboat in June and RAF Rescue Launch in September. Well, I have swapped these around and the RAF Rescue Launch Group Build will take place on 1st June.

If you wish to take part, then please sign up using the Usergroups link (Group Build Participants - RAF Launch). The relevant "chat" thread is here.

Remember, we are back to Airfix-only GBs and so we are limited to HMS Victorious, HMS Ark Royal and USS Forrestal and not all of those are in production.

and I haven't even started to research that yet

I tell you what, Ratch, that is one hell of a conversion.

It would be almost as difficult as what the real thing went through when she was cut down to just above the waterline stem to stern as seen here and given an angled flight deck. You would be better off buying one that was already at the WW2 configuration, unless you really want to use the Airfix one.
