Thanks Peter. I found pretty much the whole range at Parramatta TRU, and

could carry :-)

They are surprisingly heavy. For heavy loads always just pinch a Target trolley
...ramps all the way to the carpark.
We may need to utilise the whole university campus if we keep adding tanks :^o

I'll pick up one more on the weekend and have enough for my project.  In
terms of size, the flight deck is currently planned to be 40 studs x 192
studs, and 24 bricks from waterline to flightdeck.  I haven't worked out the
island yet.

I'm planning on using bi-planes from

http://guide.lugnet.com/set/2879

being similar to what the English flew off carrier decks at the start of
WWII.  I have three of these planes and always thought that that would be
enough :-P

Swordfish ! Will you try and fit torpedoes ?

If any Studs dude sees these about, please pick them up for me.

K-mart were always the best source for these, but after the recent discounting
I don't know if many will be about.
What would be the ideal total of planes ?

I had thought about doing a carrier, that's why I had half a dozen of the tiny
Shell Adventurers sets. (smaller the plane, smaller the carrier needed, I
had hoped).
