One of the most impressive features of this kit is the inclusion of a hanger-deck (with you super detailers in mind) which the rivals simply neglect. Based on the fact that this model is a direct challenge to Tamiya's beautiful USS Enterprise, I can not see any reason why this model does not fly off the shelves!
If you are looking for a naval kit and are sick of the run of the mill battleships, have a look at Trumpeters catalogue - you will not be disapointed. There is a good selection of carriers to model, from this ship-of-the-line, to Essex class carriers of WWll vintage to a Russian super-carrier.
I have included some pictures of what you get in the immense box (which is very well organised and padded, where necessary).
Even the flight-deck Airplanes are in thier own little box (they are mini-kits in themselves).
I will give a fuller review, once I start building this lady - which might be some time, as I am modelling a 1:48 V&W Class destroyer by SIRMAR MODEL SHIPS at the moment.
Anyhow, please feel free to message me if you want any information, trust me you will want one of these kits - they offer excellent value for money on the basis of the time it will take to build it.
Not to mention detailing it with White Ensign etched brass. SUMMARY | Well this is some model - its enormous!!!!!!!Trumpeter of china are producing some absolutely awesome kits of late and this really is some show-stopper. With over 900 parts and some simply beautifull tooling this will build up into a very impressive kit indeed. |  |
