USS Carl Vinson CVN-70, Trumpeter Final build, 1:550 scale

[@I.C.Models]

Fantastic build mate. I bought the Trumpeter 1/350 Nimitz kit and was looking at this kit to practice on but decided to go with the their 1/700 kit because it's more detailed and up to date. It also includes generic hangar bay walls that the 1/350 kit doesn't have (it just has the hangar deck) so i was going to 3D scan them and print it as well as some of the platforms the 1/350 kit doesn't have. I was hoping this kit had the hangar bay but it's similar to the 1/600 Academy Enterprise kit that has the closed elevator doors and no hangar bay. Great build and great to watch. Cheers.

thanks, Ian, I've done also my 1/700 Nimitz really detailed, you can view this in one of my video. Good luck, mate.

to be added to aircraft carrier collection👏👏👏

[@patrickspan1912]

Looks great despite the kit's age and lack of accuracy! I like that you added rigging to the mast and added the arresting cable it looks appropriate for the scale what did you use? I also have the Trumpeter 1/500 Nimitz Class kit except its the sister ship USS George Washington CVN-73. I served as ships company onboard from 2006- 07. I got the kit as a gift and was immedaitely disappointed the lack of accuracy for the price. I ended up scratch building a lot of details referencing photos to keep it accurate. Its 75% complete. Thanks for sharing your build.

Really nice job on the build. looks great. Oh, and just to let you know... @18:30, the word is AIRCRAFT without an "s" whether you talk about one or many. "Aircrafts" is not a word.

[@ArdeconHobby]

thanks, my friend for the correction.

[@MarlaFuchs]

Ther are only 4 arresting cables. The other one is for emergency catch fence.

[@ArdeconHobby]

Wow what an incoherent mess of aircraft in the kit

[@ArdeconHobby]

Ha ha ha, thank you, my friend.

[@davidmartindale2263]

@@ArdeconHobby not criticizing you the kits aircraft leave a lot to be desired

[@ArdeconHobby]

@@davidmartindale2263 it's ok, the kit is a cheap one and expects the poor quality of the design, especially since the aircraft is so thick in size, thanks for the concern.

[@lloydstephens2994]

The aircraft in this kit are absolute garbage
