realy very fine work, I have some CV's to do and will take your work as example.....just put her under a plexi or glass protection...would be a shame letting dust spoil such a beauty.
Again awesome job

Gentlemen,

My 1/350 Nimitz finally completed. After the six years of being built - 4 months for the main construction and ~5.5 years for the air wing.

Here it is.

Hi Max!

Your project is comeing along very nicely! Love the Island lighting! I also like the fact that your hangar lighting is more yellow than white. I also noticed that yellow tint in there during my research, so I didn't use LED-s.

Keep it up!!

Cheers: Laci

Small update on hangar. I am not sure that S3 Vikings were present in the middle of 1970's, but they make hangar busy :)

So - 1 SH-3 Sea King, 1 E2-C, 2 Prowlers, 2 Vikings and 2 Phantoms - maybe, will add another one E2-C to the back side of hangar. Or will fill it with some auxiliary equipment.

No, I haven't, this is just a composition to make a shot. Today want to assemble island's mast and radar and paint all parts together. And then, when WEM PE set will be delivered (I hope, this week - WEM sent it last Friday) I will start with aircrafts (omg... :mad_2:). And finalize the hangar, hehe (the flight deck is still not yet glued).

You havent attached that mast yet have you? Needs to be moved over to the deck edge. Lighting looks a bit yellow but could be my screen. Just thought I would point those out because im sure the carrier expert/s will chime in. But all in all friggin fantastic work.

HI Max!

Sorry I am slow to respond, but nevertheless: Nice work on the crane! Tricky to build, eh? You had the patience to glue the lifeboat-canisters on there individually??? I think if a psychologist would see our work, he would have a field-day (week) with most of us.... here is another level of crazy.

Coming along nicely!! :thumbs_up_1:

That is correct, they were still aboard at this timeframe. :wave_1:

I believe Vigilantes last operated in 1978 on board the Nimitz

A cuestion:

North American A-5 Vigilante, was deployed aboard Uss Nitmiz?. Not sure, but I think it was decommissioned after the war in Vietnam.
