Le Mirage on hold

I started building Corel’s Le Mirage but I’ve put the build on hold. I found out that my friend served aboard the USS Constellation CV 64. He baby sat my dog while I was in the hospital, so as a thank you, I am building a 1/700 scale model of his ship from Trumpeter. Since it is a waterline model, I placed the hull on a piece of styrofoam and then made an ocean surface. This is a photo of the Le Mirage as it sits, lonely on a shelf, in my closet, waiting for me to finish it.
