fuzzoli Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Hi Bruno, How does this kit align with the comments regarding the hangar deck isn't rectangular? http://www.shipmodels.info/mws_forum/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=8817&start=240#p425251 and http://www.shipmodels.info/mws_forum/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=8817&p=642686&hilit=hangar+deck+plans#p642715 Thanks!

bgire Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 Hello Fuzzoli, Sorry for this late answer. I'd to check before. Well: yes, the l'Arsenal kit is rectangular and the real hangar isn't. This has a slight narrowing forward. The kit designer (not me) opted for a rectangular shape to adapt the hangar to the Tamiya kit, the hull of which is wrong in this area. Here is an extract of a (official ?) plan of the real Enterprise, which shows clearly the two forward elevators aren't aligned: elevator #1 on the right follows the hull shape, making an angle with #2. Here are pictures of two Tamiya Enterprise kits (not mine !), which clearly show those two elevators are parallel. This implies the hull lines below are wrong. For the hangar kit designer the choice was: 1- Stick to the reality, implying the #1 elevator hangar opening would have had non-parallel external and internal sides and this would have been very visible. 2- Adapt to the kit and design a rectangular shape, keeping the opening bulkhead parallel. For the rivet counters it is still possible and rather easy to "angle" the port side of hangar, starting about at #1 elevator door level: one has just to angle saw the deck plate and shorten the forward bulkhead by 3-4mm on its port side. Note, however, on the finished hangar the angle is so small it will be faintly visible and both starboard and forward bulkheads aren't visible too. This issue is another illustration of the difficulties in sticking a kit to a model which is wrong. BTW this old Tamiya kit has many other issues. Hope this helps _Bruno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
