Tamiya 1/350 USS Enterprise CVN-65 - Episode1

First video of the 1:350 USS Enterprise "Big E" CVN-65
This is going to be a long time project because of a lot of photo etched upgrades and for the first time, some scratch building.
There are no hangar parts in kit so I am building this myself
Biggest challenge is in what order to build because of these upgrades
Learning by doing :)

Just got this kit a bit ago with all of the Eduard PE. I purchased a book from Amazon titled, CVN-65 USS Enterprise Model, by Glenn Hoover. It looks like he has a good build order laid out and meshes the kit and PE together. There is also dimensions for the hangar deck and suggestions on lighting. A couple things I'm still missing though is hangar walls and a more complete aircraft wing. I'll be following you closely and thank you for sharing!
