Amazing (that's actually an understatement) scale model of USS Enterprise

Zero Niner · 09-19-07, 07:50 AM

I read this in another forum, and after picking my jaw off the floor I thought I'd share with you guys....

It's a scratch-built 1/72 model of the Big E, CVN-65. Took the maker 19 years to make

The level of detail is astounding. Check it out yourselves!

Wow the man is keen I'll give him that!

The smell of Airfix glue must send the guy nuts!

Is that an AH46 Sea Knight on deck? They're hot!

Now we need a sub modeller to sink that beast!

The model in the yamoto museum in Japan is impressive in terms of size, finish and detail, let alone setting!

I would love to see it float.

The level of detail in that model is nothing short of amazing. I was waiting for that Tomcat to take off!
