I fear the day when I will start with my one. Even more when I think to all the modifications to be done to convert her to a 1990 USS Eisenhower...

I cose to not use the kit supplied decals for the flight deck, instead i airbrushed all the markings on. Lots of masking tape used!! But i think the end result was way worth it.

Ahh, the Nimitz! My favorite carrier! How have you highlighted the tie-down-points? With a wash? Looks simply great!

Just a wash and tamiya soot weathering powder

I got creative and modified PE railings from another kit to put all the raings found on the carrier. What a challenge, but well worth it!

A "waterline" display sounds like a challenge, and should look fantastic.

I flew off the Nimitz in the 90's ….. that's a fantastic looking flight deck!

Album info

Unfortunately this has been in my stash for about 3 years. In that time i have lost the water-line plate and damaged the hull beyond repair. So that being said if i am unable to find and or purchase a new hull i will attempt to display it as it is cruising the ocean 🙁
