Goliath Class (SBY) Super Battle Carrier

NOTE:  You can click on most pictures to get a larger view of them.

Rewrites: May 2016 & May 2019

I always felt that the Earth Defense Force was seriously lacking in carrier capabilities.  This ship was my attempt at getting a little over zealous with the whole battle carrier idea.  This model was also the first time that I designed my own kitbash for the Space Battleship Yamato universe.  All of my previous kitbashes were based off of other people's work and already existing ship designs.
