This is my tribute, in 1/350 scale, to the Jimmy Doolittle raid on Tokyo in April of 1942. I have the USS Hornet, CV-8, which carried the B-25 bombers, the USS Enterprise, CV-6, which escorted the Hornet and gave her air cover, the USS Vincennes, CA-44, and the USS Grayson, DD-435, both of which were two of the 12 warship escort for the two carriers.
The Hornet and the Vincennes would both be sunk by the Japanese within 6-8 months of the raid on Tokyo in the various battles around Guadalcanal. The Enterprise would go on to be the most decorated warship in US history and survive the war. The Grayson would also survive the war.
I have many 1/350 scale models, mostly modern warships, but also some World War II. Google me on Fine Scale Modeler, or RU-vid to see them.
