真是做工精良的1:700二战美海军埃塞克斯级攻击型航空母舰!是二战中数量最多的航空母舰。 Really made a goodness of the 1: 700 World War II Navy Essex attack-like air carrier! It is the largest number of aircraft bars.

Great job, especially on such shabby kit. I have uss wisconsin made at around same time with same issues. Details are great for scale, but model requires vice and hammer to put together. On these Iowa's lower hull is 1mm wider and 3mm longer than upper, and there is sink in plastic along length of deck on upper hull. At least it seem you do not have those being 3 part instead 2.

I figure if you build it again scrap the kit 40mm guns for aftermarket 40mm guns in Resin as those are a bit more accurate. And get the seperate Trumpeter aircraft sets that are molded in clear plastic so you can have clear canopies.

@Mediavidero6 жыл бұрын
You did a great job, and I know it because I'm actually preparing a video with my CVN-77 USS George Bush in 1/700. The only problem is about Italeri brand itself, and the bad detail in some plastic parts or decals. I had to change a lot of things with the original kit because it was deliberately innacurate.

Nice presentation and result! Some random thoughts: a) seems like a so-so kit based on your "filler needed" and "no plane decals" observations, or am I overreacting, b) did you end up playing / do you play the online game (I watch it on stream and youtube a lot), c) I don't know why it didn't occur to me until just now that a "hanger deck" on USS Enterprise corresponds to a "gun deck" on HMS Victory--- I'll attribute it to your inspirational editing : ) ty for posting!
