Saw today that a large scale US flattop plastic kit is due sometime in 2013, a 1/200 1942 version of USS Hornet CV-08. Its being released by one of Trumpeter's US distributors, Merit International, who has the gumption to invest in such a large scale kit.
Photos are from Merit's Facebook page:

Plenty of comments already appearing over on the Modelwarships site in the hope that Trumpeter gets this one right this time:
