I am always collecting pictures of actual ships so Tony can look at and determine his next project.

Guys!
Thank you for your replies and appreciation to skillful modeling techniques by Tony Lombardo.
A few updates from Tony after I called him this early afternoon that consists of power system, that includes ESC, Motor, Belt Drive System, Receiver and Transmitter setup has been completed. Sound System and Smoke System has been taken out from another Ship.
The assembly of a carrier to take this large ship to water is being made as I type this.
I will see about driving myself on Wednesday so, I can pass by Tony's house and take several pictures for all interested and perhaps a Video of the Sound System and Smoke System.
Stay tuned.
