Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Thats quite well done and detailed. Ive seen one possibly two Nimitz class carriers in 1/72 scale since the late 1980’s. It might've been the same one in different magazines not sure ? That one wasn't powered though. Thats where this one is better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britman Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Absolutely magnificent, well done that man. Looks around 1/48th to me judging by the size of the aircraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welkin Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Ark Royal was 804 feet long; if this model is 13 feet, then that scales out at roughly 1:60. It's an awesome feat of modelling! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
