Hello Folks,
I'm curious as to which Nimitz class 1/700 - 1/720 scale carrier would be the better option, Italeri or Trumpeter?

I see the Trumpeter is the more expensive but is it the better option all round? Quality, detail, etc?

I do like the look of the USS Ronald Reagan (Italeri) and with a few boxes of the Trumpeter F/A 18E, S3 Vikings, EA6 Prowlers, E2 Hawkeyes it should come out ok.

What do you guys think?

Do your self a BIG favor and get the Trumpeter one.They are almost 30 years apart and it shows.No comparison.
