EoU,
Do you think that’s the same kit that I built in ‘56(or so)? The one I built came with lots of planes, etc.. They’re what took so long to paint.
Wish I could edit! Musta been older when I built it. Maybe in ‘62? It probably came out around the time the Enterprise was commissioned. I didn’t think I was still building kits at 16 years of age. Oh well,,,, It was a long time ago!
No its a kit that I believe was released around 1991, I remember seeing it in a Walgreens store then brand new and well over $100. Mine I picked up on Ebay about 6 years ago, its a hug kit, finished model I think is around a yard long.
My collection of large warships includes a Revell Gato class US pacific fleet sub of the late 1940’s era that is 5 foot long, actually was the easiest I have ever done. But you can see why because there isn’t much on the outside of a sub, I would dearly love to have a sectional cutaway of a model sub.
When I build the Big E I will use lots of fiber optics, it will be a nightime launch scenario of a resin waterline, even to the point of having an F-4 or a Tomcat on final approach with the meatballs lit up. Or also with a JBD up and one about to be launched, some effect of a full throttle up showing.
