Essex class aircraft carrier USS Essex CV-9

this is the first part of a larger project im working on, originally i was going to wait with posting this until i was done with the whole thing but that will probably take a while so i decided to post the first part now. its been fun to try to make something on the size of a ship. i definitely struggled alot on getting the minor details in as some references were almost impossible to get ahold of so some inaccuracies may be present on the model but i think i did a decent job and im very happy with how it turned out
