Hello All,

I have one BIG question,
Which Trumpeter Carrier in 1/350 can be converted to USS Enterprise - BIG E with use of conversion set.
I'm planing to buy Trumpeter Carries and to build Big E sometime hopefully this year.

Trumpeter produces just the Hornet in 1:350, so you'll have to get the Yankee Model Works conversion set and a bunch of reference material.

If you're really ambitious, you may want to rebuild the bow, too. It is improperly shaped and using the old Revell kit as a reference will help. The Revell kit may have been sparse on details, but its hull was almost perfect in form.

So Hornet is the choice.... Did't Trumpeter had Yorktown CV5 in production few years back?
