Jockster Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Search for 'USS Enterprise CVN-65 1982 cruise book. The crew take pictures all the time and produce these year books. Then try each successive year till you have what you need. Also try and get a hold of the 'detail and scale' volume by Bert Kinsey. All the best.

Guba Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Also try and get a hold of the 'detail and scale' volume by Bert Kinsey. All the best. Jocko Thanks for the book recommendation! I had no idea Detail and Scale started putting out books for ships! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jockster Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 It's one of a few but went out of publication years ago. Not easy to get a hold of but worth the effort in trawling the internet for a copy. Watch out for the greedy sods charging over the odds, around the £20 mark is reasonable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhutchi Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Hi, me again. I have just got my Enterprise out of storage after 8 or 9 years. I am missing the 2 small boats (cutter and ???) that are included. Any idea where I can get replacements please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jockster Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 There is a 3D print site, the name escapes me for now but as soon as I remember I'll post it! ☺ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending upon the actual type of cutter it is (size, open or with deckhouses etc), you might be able to get resin replacements from somewhere like Black Cat Models, Micro Master, or Starling Models (though I note that Starling are closed for 4 weeks from this coming Friday) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
