Guy's on one of my rare visits to the wet side and I'm after some advice.

After going to a show the other weekend and seeing another member pick up the Tamiya Big-E I came to thinking it was time I picked up a carrier in 1/350 myself.
So after checking for reviews but not finding any I'm looking for opinion's, pros and cons on both the Trumpeter Nimitz and Kuznetsov. Also which date Nimitz can be made from the kit and can any of the class be made. Mind you if I do go for the Nimitz then it must have F-14s on the deck.

Thanks for your time

That is an nice article on the Trumpeter Nimitz. If I recall right the kits represetns the ship in 1975.

Here is a review of the ship as well.
