Hello fellas.

I started on the Karel Doorman r81 pictured in 1968 last week.
Currently still a WIP but here is she currently.
I hope to finish her in the upcoming week or 2. Still need to get her airwing togheter though.
I also want to create her in Argentinian service (still need some more reference)
And also after her rebuild near 1958.
And might also do her as purchased.

Enjoy!

Okay.
Beside my HSS-1 drawing that you already use, here you might find an updated S2F on this sheet of mine.

Note that Colossus is too small for Panther and Cougar, Argentina flew these from land bases. They had A-4 and Super Etendard on 25 del Mayo. Moreover, this carrier is slow (24 kn) and in Falkands Argentina discover that she coul not launch fully loaded A-4 because she could not get enough wind on deck.
