This may be a really odd question. Is the unit for sale?
I know of a museum that would be interested. Drop a note. Thanks!

This thread is a little old, does anybody have any updates?
I hate it when awesome things/threads just stop

I did a little searching and found this message on this website: http://www.saratogamuseum.org/guestbook/guestbook07.html

[FONT=verdana,geneva,arial][SIZE=-1][FONT=verdana,geneva,arial][SIZE=-1]Been helping build a steel model of CV-60 for 5 years. Trying to obtain photos/negatives of all aircraft flown off CV-60. Need to make DECALS for Tails etc. Would like to meet anyone with a CRUISE BOOK for any year. Already have made/or bought more than 20 different models: AH-1 to F-18, but very few have decals. Using 1:48 SCALE the CV-60 STEEL MODEL is 25 FEET LONG. Will submit a picture as soon as I can. Richard E. Morse marrem@clearwire.net Jacksonville, FL USA - Thursday, October 25, 2007 at 6:29 AM.

I agree ... it would be interesting to know where this model is now ... and in what kind of shape.
