USS Enterprise CVN-65 is an inactive United States Navy aircraft carrier. She was the world's first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and the eighth United States naval vessel to bear the name. Like her predecessor of World War II fame, she is nicknamed "Big E". At 1,123 ft (342 m), she is the longest naval vessel ever built. Her 93,284-long-ton (94,781 tonnes) displacement ranked her as the 12th-heaviest supercarrier, after the 10 carriers of the Nimitz class and the USS Gerald R. Ford. Enterprise had a crew of some 4,600 service members.

I still have this model new in the box. Been hauling it around with me for 20+ years with never the time to build it. Yours looks great.
someone on FB is sell his big E for $65 darn shame I say!
Sad to say mine too.
Same here... mine since 2001 and still in the box. Started the hull, painted a couple planes and been the same since
40 years ago on this day (Thanksgiving) I was onboard Enterprise in the middle of a West Pac cruise. We pulled into Mombasa Kenya for the holiday, so it was Tusker beers and giant prawns for Thanksgiving dinner out in town! I was a newly initiated 19 year-old Shell Back after crossing the equator just days before. My squadron served a total of about a year and a half onboard returning home to Alameda at the very end of April. She was a great ship and the first of many carriers I'd come to serve and later fly off of. Always had hot water and heat! She weathered some very heavy seas that scared the .... out of all of us. Green water over the bow is NOTHING to take lightly. But she kept us safe and I will always look back with pride and a wry smile for all of the foolishness that we as young sailors got away with.
My 1/350 Enterprise model is in the very beginning stages of construction and will have CVW-11 from my cruise embarked. Your project looks fantastic, she is a BIG Model! I have a 1/350 IJN Kaga model that when plaved next to the BIg E looks even smaller than your WWII boat!
Happy Modeling!
damn the detailing on this is breathtaking now that's hard work
Thank you, appreciate this
Nice build... The Big E visited NZ in the 1960's.. thanks from NZ 👍🇳🇿
I love the detail on this kit especially the tie downs on the flight deck for anchoring the aircraft down on the deck
My grandpa was on Cvn 65 enterprise carrier
The peice looks enormous when observed in its scale. Unbelievable work!! Well done sir!
Thanks Gene, that means a great deal to me.Looking at the old girl again earlier this yea made me decide to build up the carrier strike group to accompany here. Hope you managed to watch a couple more of the videos in the playlist. If not then maybe another day. I am on holiday at the moment but lots more videos to come when I get back home!
JJ Model Making pleasure's mine. I'll be sure to check out your other vids. Again, I have to say how much I admire the amount of work and attention to detail involved in your past project. Really blown away! 👍😀
+Gene Mckeel Very kind of you, thank you!
Could spend a couple hours looking her over. Excellent work
JJ, the Enterprise, CVN-65 was launched September 24th, 1960, so it was built and went through sea trials in 1958-1961. Just an FYI. I was a pilot in VA-94 before she was sent off for scrap. The new Enterprise will be commissioned near or around November 2025. The original Enterprise, CV-6, was launched October 3rd, 1936. I was in the first naval battle since WWII on April 18th, 1988 in the Strait of Hormuz and had the pleasure of dropping a walleye down the smokestack of the Iranian Frigate, The Sahand.
Have a great day and keep up the great work! That is an amazing model you have there. How many total hours would you say it took you to finish this project? I always say that model kits are like writing a novel. It is never finished, they are abandoned. You can always find something to do that you missed the first time around. Take care, CG
When I was on the Big E in 01-02 we were hearing that the next Enterprise was gonna be CVX-65 that would be on like pontoons with the middle high so subs could go under it and transfer people or stuff. Yeah that was all false haven't seen shit about anything like that since 😂😂. Hopefully the new Enterprise won't have a water contamination problem which was jp5 jet fuel in our water supply and other ships as well.
@@ew1a100 we used to drink coffee and it tasted like JP5. Its a wonder all of us aren't dead.
@@CGBlade it got me addicted to popcorn and hot sauce 🤣🤣 helped get the taste out our mouths. I looked up possible long term effects a while ago and it was most of the shit I have trouble with to this day. Can cause skin problems, neurological problems, respiratory problems, stomach problems and I forgot what else. Then on top of that I have asbestos exposure thanks to the navy too. Thats when I decided to buck the system and stopped going to work till they put me on pretrial restriction and then sent to the brig for was supposed to do 30 days but couple days in and told me the navy was 3k people overmanned so offered me an oth and get out in few days or do the 30 days and go back to my command. I signed the oth and on day 11 I was out of the navy.
@@ew1a100 wow, that's quite a story. I am sorry it did not work out. Do you happen to know when CVN-80 will go to trials?
@@CGBlade they say in 2028 but we shall see. I just hope they don't have to drink jp5 too. Shit was finally reported in the news last year and the navy was like "nobody has gotten sick from it" then like a month later came back and said " uhh we were wrong" still dont see shit happening about it. Where is our contaminated water lawsuit?
Wow, love this. If I ever get the time it looks like a fun challenge to make something like this
I noticed that your E-2s had the screwtop patterns on their radar domes which is the markings for VAW-123 (screwtops) and just wanted to say that my best friends dad is their current squadron commander.
+Patrick Davey Wow! Thanks for letting me know!
You’re welcome
As an ex-navy AO G-1 division weapons department ships company on USS Enterprise CVN-65 in 2001-2002. I need to get me 1 to build but I mainly make tie-dye now.
Who's this? I was In G1 from 01-05

You should be proud that’s amazing!!!
Looks great,well done you
Thank you Richard!
Mate!
These builds are awesome, thanks so much for sharing.
Thanks for the feedback! Lots more where these have come from, make sure you subscribe it you wanted to stay up tp
o date!
I'm really enjoying your past videos, they are great. I'm just about to start my 1/200 HMS Hood with detail set....
Excellent Ship and Lots of Hard Word !!!! Very Nice
Thank you Trevor!
Fab-U-LOUS !!!
I had this very model and made a start. Boy oh boy, it was big. Unfortunately was torpedoed midway through the build
That's a pretty dangerous situation, with the Hawkeye landing while a Seahawk is hovering over the deck. Better catch the wires or there's gonna be trouble.
Also, I'm not completely sure about this, but it looks like you've got the launching F-14 pitching up before it reaches the end of the cat. The plane wouldn't start pitching up until it's clear of the deck. But I'm not 100% sure of that. It certainly can't pitch up until the nose wheel has detached from the cat. EDIT: On closer look, the nose wheel is clearly free of the cat.
All very true but that's creative license for you
Sorry, I didn't mean to come across as critical. It's a great model.
I understand don't worry
Awesome job!!!!
Looks good !
Well here I am again for the 3rd time building the 1:350 scale U.S.S. Enterprise I want to build in to it a hanger deck cause I have a ton of aircraft for it would you have any tips for me to make it just a bit easier to build
I'm so nervous for this job!
Very good video.question,the Gray used for hull,and color fly deck...PSI used?ths
Nicely done, but you should have selected the Planes acordingly - You should not have added the F-18E/F from Hasegawa! If you put Superbugs on that Deck, you have to remove the Tomcats, Corsairs, Intruders, Vikungs and Seakings. Better to remove the Superbug and put F-18C/D on the Deck, even if it is still weird to have them combined with Intruders and Corsairs, they could at least play some Kind of mixed Squadron Deployment right at the Time of the F-18 Introduction on NAVY Carriers!
Great job. Actually I just got my Tamiya USS Enterprise 1:350 last week, and I'm just in the startup fase. I'll remember your advise about doing windows from the inside of the bridge. Other advises you want to share?
Cool aewsome
Thanks Kartik
Great build. I'm looking into building Enterprise CV-6. Would love to do the 1\200 scale, but at 49 inches long I don't have the room to build or display it.
I finished my 1:720 version of this kit by revell except it’s circa 1974
Good job!
Beautiful model but it is absolutely painful to see aircraft positioned in a manner which they could never be. For instance, what kind of tractor can get the nose of a tomcat that close and facing the deck edge? Even if it could, how could they start it up and get it out of there? Foul deck with an E2 on the ramp? ABHCS here with 6 carriers including Big E.
I used to be super passionate about aircraft carriers until I got into modeling. It's such a frustrating hobby when you lack the materials and patients to make them like the display on the box.
hi! what color did you use to paint the hull( type of Gray)?thank you. Max
I used Tamiya sky grey
I totally enjoyed watching your model kit. I’m building a smaller version 1-700. I’d like to know what colors you used. I’m so undecided where and what colors to use.
Didn't see it listed, what kit are the figures? Are they modern Navy, or modified WW2?
They are the generic Tamiya figures. I think I used two sets of them
awesome
Thank you!
Lovely job 👍
Amazing
im glad your work! i have a question, how can i buy a finished version just like your carrier mate?
Curious question how did u do the dots and the markings???
The dots were done with a fine tip gel marker, the lines by airbrush
I just build my first ship. A 1:700 model of petr velikiy with 480 parts. I am going to build this next and was wondering if you or someone else know how many parts this contains. Been searching on google but cant seem to find anything about it.
Great video btw
Thank you very much! The Enterprise is a big kit but not as many parts as you might think. It is empty after all but includes 20 odd aircraft. Probably around 1,000 parts at best guess. Many more however if you go down the photo etch / extra aircraft route
Great model, just like you I like to collect 1/350 ships, my USN I have 4 carriers alone with a wide range of escort ships and subs, do you do any other navy, all mine are boxed up and will be started when I feel comfortable, also I have been trying to find any new parts for the Enterprise to be in the 2015 - would you know where I might get them?
+Scotsman 5 Thank you! Four carriers in boxes?! Wow, I am a bit jealous! I'm always keeping my eye out for cheap 1/350 kits, if you see any in the UK, let me know. For your Enterprise question, shapeways is probably your best bet. What other ships are in the stash? Try building a small one and build up. My first in that scale was the Bismarck
Now I’m just waiting for you to complete the Nimitz.
You should have done is to add the medals earn for the USS Enterprise itself to make it more appealing.
Thanks for the feedback
Not a problem.
Where did you find those little mens!!?
Don't think I left a comment before but a truly superb job. how many additional aircraft kits were purchased to go with it? and also the most important question which Tomcat is Maverick and Gooses'? he he. well done
quick question, how did you go about painting the small white circles on the flight deck? it's driving me crazy on my build
Lawrence Aviles I cheated and used a tipex pen. or any white paint pen with a fine job will do
In real life they are tie down locations.
@@JJModelMaking I was wondering the same thing, thanks for the advice!
now its more tempting to buy one....but where can i put in my apartment after complete..
The Enterprise kit is very *VERY* expensive on Amazon
Hi how heavy it is ? I found same kit brand new for £110 is it a good price?
£110 sounds about right. It's a chunky model once assembled, but you can lift it comfortably with two hands. It's the length that is the biggest issue
Honestly i liked because the long from your video i discovered this model and did some search till i found it. I have hachette Bismarck which is huge 127cm and want to add this. Do you think this price is good deal? Is this model is discontinued? As someone here said had it since 20 yrs
How much was this kit?
How many aircraft does it come with?
About 25 I think
Looks fantastic. I will be building this kit once i am done with my previous projects. But that's going to be my biggest model... how many jars of paint will i need to paint it? Advise will be appreciated much ;)
Good for you! I think I used about four pots of tamiya sky grey just for hull, and 2 or 3 dark grey for the flight deck
@@JJModelMaking thanks for the answer. Honestly that's much less than i expected :D anyway, that knowledge will surely help.
I have built the U96 u-boat, the Bismarck, The Hood, HMS Victory and Captain Cook's Endeavour. I realy need to find out where to get hold of the Enterprise and what the price is?? I stay in Boksburg South Africa. Pleeeeeze help.
James Deacon
Hi James, quite an impressive list of builds there! I'm not very familiar with the shops in South Africa, but you should be able to buy the Enterprise from either Amazon or eBay. If you're struggling let me know and I can send you a link from my affiliate account with Amazon.co.uk - you might be able to ship it out to you? Being an affiliate link, just so you are aware, I will receive a small percentage of the price back from Amazon, with all proceeds going back into the channel.
@@JJModelMaking Will appreciate if you could send me the link. Can you give me an indication of the price of the 1/350 scale Enterprise. Much appreciated.
James Deacon
Hi James, sorry, busy weekend. Here's the link to the Enterprise on Amazon.co.uk. amzn.to/2IfoWzEIf you do order one, let me know please? Hope you enjoy building it as much as I did!
it is a Sea Stallion/Sea Dragon not a Seahawk
Sensacional del uno
You have people on the rear flight deck while a plane is landing
Creative licence
It's not a real person.
Never mind I was wrong
2:54 I am sorry but that is a bad landing

I have just finished my one: th-cam.com/video/g3WiLnDYpwY/w-d-xo.html I learned a lot from your video and added a bunch of additional features.
