Angus73 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Hi Everybody, That's USS Nimitz 1/350 with WEM PE parts full set and Starfighter decals for planes. Almost a year of work to depict the most famous aircraft carrier. I like the most models presenting models that is why I do not use weathering, rust, or worn out effects, only line effect to get details. I have placed also some pictures of deck vehicles and planes. She must be very impressive in real life... Now it is time for 1/16 car See you soon (hopefuly 29 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if enough of them do, there'll be room for a few to land back on! 😀 It'll help if they can strike a few below too.😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitewolf Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 That looks very nice indeed! What time period is it set in? Presumably this is the Trumpeter kit of Nimitz as she was built , but that's a later Radar Tower aft of the Island? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She must be very impressive in real life... Great model and very impressive indeed. I can assure she is equally impressive in real life. I had the privilege of working with her in the aftermath of First Gulf War and I can tell you, landing little Larry Lynx in the middle of that enormous flight deck was one of the highlights of my flying career. Somewhere I've got a photo taken just after this one that shows my cab on deck alongside the island and it looks lost! On 20/01/2020 at 19:15, Stealthman said: What time period is it set in?

It's an eclectic mix of aircraft with F4s, F14s, F18s, A6s and EA3s all together on the deck. Certainly in '91, which was before the lattice radar mast was replaced with the solid one, the air group comprised F14s, F18s, A6s and EA6Bs. But nevertheless, it's a fabulous example of naval air power at its best 👍 Edited January 26, 2020 by Chewbacca 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus73 Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 Hi Guys, I must admit that "eclectic" is the best word for the situation on the deck. During assembling, I was wondering, which planes to chose, earlier ones or later. But finally I decided to put a mix of them to present different types from different times to have them all. So lets keep the version that my model is from 90's having modern planes on the deck with some guests from the past visiting the ship again @ Chewbacca, I really envy you the opportunity you had in the past, I am sure that she must be impressive! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
