Tamiya's 1/700th scale USS Hornet waterline - Builder's Notes

Pushing through on a kit that didn't really get my juices flowing.
It is a scale model representing a fascinating event in history, "The Doolittle Raid".

Love the video! You're very underrated, for someone with such high-quality content. What sort of models do you usually build? Would you recommend this as a first kit? I want to get into the hobby, and I'm considering a carrier from the Waterline series

Thank you so much for your interest and support. I build a little bit of everything, just depends on what kits grab my attention. I would reccomend this is as a good first kit, not too many parts, and nothing complicated in the build. Also, you may want to check out the Srart Here video from Champion Scale Modeling if you are just getting into the hobby:
