The Ship Model Forum

Here are some in-progress pics of my Tamiya 1/350 USS Enterprise as she gets totally rebuilt and super-detailed. The model is about 30% complete now and will represent Big E as she appeared in the late 1980s about the time of the "Hormuz Highway Patrol".

My wonderful wife gave the terrific Tamiya kit to me as a wedding present back in 1997 and I built it OOB with the GMM set. Other well-done models on this site inspired me to pull her all apart and totally rebuild her adding additional detail and correcting some sponson shapes. Bert Kinsey's USS Enterprise in Detail and Scale is an excellent resource for a mid-to-late 1980s Big E.

Improvements to the hull:




Improvements to the island:






Painted island in position next to the enlarged and corrected starboard CIWS station:





Much more to do. Can't recommend GMM's new CVN decal set enough.

Nice model
Dave Wooley

Thanks, Dave!! Please keep posting pics! The models you show are truly inspirational!

Hello, Michael! I am afraid that those are the only pics I have of the NASM model at the moment. If we get a chance to go back to NASM I will get more pics for you!

wow..those are some great shots..thx for sharing!

anybody here who wants to do that as a dio? ..except me

Has the Enterprise changed the surface of her elevators?

I remember older photos showing that they were mostly a "see-through" grate. Now I see photos captioned as being the Enterprise and it looks like the entire elevator is now the same "non-skid" surface as the flight deck.

Anyone know if that's the case? And if so, when was the change?

Thanks!
Jack

They have been replaced. Enterprise's elevators are solid now, not perforated. I asked the question some time ago and IIRC they were replaced in the 90's sometime in 2 stages (2 lifts each time)

Thanks for the info and the lead!

Jack

Stephen,
On the aft/port CIWS did you add sheet styrene directly to the top of the Tamiya sponson to make the correct look?
Thanks
Robert

Yes, that's right. You will have to move the chocks a bit too. The enlargement there is quite complex in shape. I recommend you study pictures closely. See:

Thanks Stephen. The pictures are a huge help.
I'll be busy rebuilding CIWS sponsons all over the place I guess.

You have ties back to "God's Country"?

The change on the Enterprises elevators was in 1996, they were switched out durring maintance after she finished a deployment.

Yes the catwalks on ENTERPRISE are and have been perforated. I was onboard 1996-1998.

Hi Charles thanks for the eye witness confirmation.

Ciao

Luca

Ah Bella Napoli - I have spent a lot of time in Napoli including the out-of-the-way places of Napoli. I even have my combat badge to drive! I was in Napoli in December 1996 on ENTERPRISE - horrible weather. I had to run the boats. I did go to Roma to see Pope John Paul II.

ENTERPRISE is in many ways much different than the Nimitz class, it is closer to the design of the KITTY HAWK class. I was the Deck Officer (First Lieutenant) and so I was responsible for seamanship and replenishment evolutions. I also served on the bridge as the Office of the Deck responsible for maneuvers and navigation.

I lived below the main deck above the reactors. Much preferred to being under the flight deck!! The ventilation ducts that passed through my stateroom were "monitored" for radiation leakage. I had a personal dosimeter that was read monthly for radiation exposure. To be honest I recieved more gamma radiation from the sun than I received radiation from the reactors.

ciao

Luca,
She does have perforated catwalks. I am actually thinking about doing the same with mine when I get time. Tom from Tom's Modelworks actually sent me a set of catwalks to try. I'm not sure how I am going to tackle that one yet.
Robert

These elevators only appeared on the Enterprise. Nimitz has solid ones

New photos - 2006 Anthology: Here are official US Navy photos of USS Enterprise CVN-65.
These should prove very helpful to those building a model of the "Big E" as she currently appears.
