The first review I have seen on this kit. I already have a display case made and ready for the finished model. Thanks for giving us such a great view of what’s in the box. Cheers from Sydney, AU

@WillaimUpshaw Ай бұрын

I have to smile when people say they have to make an addition to their house to have a 1:350 scale CVN-68 class model. I have a great friend down in Florida that has a 1:96 scale USS George Bush CVN-77 that we modified from a CVN-68 class hull set. From Scale Shipyard.

Very nice one deck piece not like the Tamiya USS Enterprise. Looks like planes on deck and others in hanger or on lift to deck. It would be a long build but nice build.

Hi new here , nice un boxing review well done , however Trumpeter does come up short as they always do , good news is their is another company called 3D Wild in which is a 3D printed carrier "yes1/350 scale" photo etch everything including a full hangar bay where it can be lighted . Plus you have current squadrons & soon more squadrons detail is off the chain as the young ones say , here on you tube you can see an unboxing review , my view is if your going to spend the money surely you want the best on the market, ships numbers are 78, 79, 80,& 81.. good luck .

Nice, But They should have provided Decal Options for The Other Ships in the Class,Like the Enterprise,CVN-80.

@trydrew Ай бұрын

Aftermarket may provide, but two things to consider; first the sister ships may vary in fine details, and Secondly, they will likely save those for a rebox down the line, you know because they want to make money.

@Serenityindailylife Ай бұрын

The class is not identical. Some have sm missiles, some have c-ram some have ciws. Some use different radar systems too. The spy radar series looks close but not exact. It's mainly because they take so long to build. Nimitz was different because they standardized. It caused the later hulls to be fitted with outdated equipment. This time the navy is adding updates as they go. Towards the end they will go back and retrofit. The latest spy radar system is on the destroyers and can't so the carrier can get away with a last generation radar system. This is due to the networked architecture. The early hulls can use the radar information from the newer DD's and CG's to overlay and provide differental radar composite information. So the older hulls are not really handicapped. That's a long answer to why you can't just slap new decals on but it's the nature of defense contracting. The tech fills the money holes left by budgeting.

@troypetty8141 Ай бұрын

I notice that they give you 2 aircraft per fighter sprue, but only 1 tail and 1 set of landing gear. so, your airwing got cut in half. It does give you the choice of folded or not wings.

I was hoping for the hangar walls as well but unfortunately, like their Nimitz, just the floors... A real shame for double the Nimitz price. Page 14 to 17 and 22 to 27 you can see there's no detail for the hangar, just the back walls of the hull sub-assemblies.

@markkrumrey6238 Ай бұрын

Lack of extra detail in the hangar deck is probably a cost saving effort to keep costs and size of box down. There isn't a whole lot of viewing space with only three elevator bay doors. Leaves room for the scratch builders and aftermarket folks. As it is, it's a nice hangar deck with the tie downs molded in.

Typical of useless Trumpeter, no water-line markings, so you have to do a lot of research to scribe them on before painting. And older carriers like 1/350 Essex class also had the great advantage of a separate lower hull.
