1/700 CV6 USS Enterprise - Academy

USS Enterprise (CV-6) was a Yorktown-class carrier. Colloquially called "The Big E, she participated in more major actions of the war against Japan than any other United States ship. Enterprise earned 20 battle stars, the most for any U.S. warship in World War II, and was the most decorated U.S. ship of World War II.

One of the most decorated warships in history and they scrapped it after WW2. Should have made it a museum ship. Great video

Nice build!!!

[@KumaModels]

Thank you very much!

[@D.AKULA_TK208]

You didn't build a plastimodel, you went back in time and used a shrink ray on the Enterprise. Dude, ive never seen a model as true to reality as yours! It is perfect. The only things I missed were: "ENTERPRISE" written on the stern and a red hull/waterline HVAC, basic stuff like in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJXFeKufmamNirc (skip to 3:00-15:20 for see the hull HVAC) But without counting that, the Big E came back to life, but with 30cm.

[@KumaModels]

Thank you very much! I was not sure if at Midway she had "Enterprise" written on her stern. In pre-war photos the name is there but probably during her refit before Midway the name was removed before being put back during her next refit? It is very confusing. 1939 Photo: www.navsource.org/archives/02/020682.jpg August 1942: www.navsource.org/archives/02/0206bf.jpg

Thank you very much!

[@robertcolfack26]

Great job you did with this kit but I was wondering if some of the planes were at scale they looked a little big.....

[@KumaModels]

Thank you very much! Yes the planes are in the same scale.

[@martinsoublette95]

I think that hull comes in that way so you may have the choice of laying it as waterline or full hull.

[@KumaModels]

I see, thank you very much!

[@beinelde._.6856]

wished u had added the landing cable but still amazing job

[@KumaModels]

Thank you very much!

[@michaelbest5505]

Where'd you get the Fujimi planes? Would love to get some of those so I could have a clear cockpit.

[@KumaModels]

I bought them at HobbyLink Japan.

[@grapieboi7279]

What do you use to keep the aircraft in place while you paint them?

[@KumaModels]

I use Faber Castle Tack it.

[@antoinereymond2931]

Would you also review or build the kit from Meng (1/700)?

[@KumaModels]

I don’t have any plans.

[@josephbarnardiiiimbang827]

Midway version should have no 1st portside lifeboat. it was removed when it left pearl harbor days before midway.

[@KumaModels]

Thanks for the info! I didn't know that.

[@CaptainDanger-]

Did you use the included aircraft or use another.. If so, Which did you use

[@KumaModels]

I used Flyhawk's 1/700 USN Aircraft instead. They have good detail for such a small object.

[@parkerwootton2507]

Where did you buy the photo etch for This?

[@KumaModels]

The photo etch came with the kit. It was the “Modeler’s edition”.

[@-entyy]

I have a question, will it require glue to assemble? I’ve been struggling with the trumpeter model because it turns out it needed glue, is it an option to not use glue?

[@KumaModels]

I think you will still need glue for the small parts such as the AA guns but the majority of the model can be built without glue. You can also look at Meng’s 1/700 USS Enterprise if you’re looking for a snap-fit version.

[@amillionmileride]

Model glue is cheap, if you’re going to do this scale of modeling, just pop the $10 and get some…

[@-entyy]

@@KumaModelsi recently go the model done, and i have just one last question, how many stripes did the flight deck have on your model? I want to recreate the flight deck but i need to know the amount of stripes

[@shingetter8134]

Can you tell me what product you used to make this piece? (A link if possible..)

[@KumaModels]

The model is from academy. I think you can get it on Amazon. www.amazon.com/Academy-Enterprise-Aircraft-Carrier-Modelers/dp/B07GLWF2X6

@@KumaModels Thank you In the video, did you buy the detail-up parts from Amazon?

[@igorsevcov4081]

🤝👍. Video 1/72 tanks ×1stk.?🙏

[@-entyy]

How many stripes does the flight deck have?

[@KumaModels]

In the model there are 3 rows of stripes. The outer 2 rows have 62 stripes while the center row has 38. I’m not sure if this is the exact number on the real thing.

[@thefrench8944]

bonsoir. Superbe maquette et très bien réalisée. Mais j'ai l'impression que les avions sont un peu petits par rapport au bateau. Je me trompe peut-être.

[@KumaModels]

Merci beaucoup. Les avions devraient être à peu près à la même échelle de 1/700.

[@West_Coast_Mainline]

10/10 but what are the differences between 42 and 43

[@DividedByZeero]

If you look closely at the AA arrangement, you can see there’s more or they’ve been changed

[@KumaModels]

Thank you very much! Aside from that they’ve also added a radar on the side the exhaust stack and I think changed the range finders.

[@shebadoge]

Nobody here knows how expensive it was to make this model. (150-180USD)

[@amillionmileride]

Not anymore…it’s closer to twice that now

[@zj37]

These little AA guns are so annoying

[@KumaModels]

They were difficult to put on!
