Great update!! Looks fantastic! I know how long (and how annoying) it takes to build all the planes and fuel tanks but the attention to detail has paid off. Job well done!
Thank you! It's so humbling to receive praise from people who actually knew her.😀 My final review video is here: th-cam.com/video/SrDFTM-8oUg/w-d-xo.html
ok I have the Tamiya 1/350 USS Enterprise air craft carrier kit but am having hug problems air brushing the flight deck the paint come out to think and the paint keeps coming out in in bit and making a right mess can any body help please Iv never used an air brush
A7's and Hornets not together in the same air wing. If you eliminate the Hornets you will have a the same compliment as seen in 1986 Top Gun. This build is amazing BTW
No mate, you need to make the choice. F-18's replaced the A-7's. Except maybe for very rare training or CQ ops, you'd never see them in the same airwing.
Coming along nicely!
Looking foward to seeing all the photo etch crew.

+James Jacob Thanks James. :) It's so close now... it's really tempting to just rush through it and get it done, but I have to pace myself.
I served on aboard her from 1984-88. Proud ship, you are doing her justice. Would love to see it finished. Did you ever post?

I didn't end up using the A7s, if you see the final video it's more of an early 90s configuration.
Yeah its only a kit, not a history lesson. E's last cruise with the A-7 was 89-90. After that its was F-18's.
What jets are you going to have on your E...F-18's or A-7's ? You can't have both,
+jkaposi Was planning to have both. Did the A-7s and F/A-18s not serve together on the Enterprise?

+jkaposi Hmm, strange that the kit has both and shows you to use both. Oh well, that's useful info thanks!
