1/700 Trumpeter USS Nimitz 2005

Gallery Article by Paolo Yuen on June 24 2011

 

My first time building the 1/700 Nimitz 2005, I had many times used this kit conversion to CVN-76 USS Ronald Regan, I used Gold Medal Models’ photo etch for the ship and airwings! The main job of this model is cutting away the wall on the deck size catwalk and replacing it with p.e. railing. The airwings decals were replaced with Starfighter decals because the Trumpeter print was oversize.

The ship has over 60 aircraft on deck and in the hanger!  Cargo is made from plastic rod, working vehicles are taken from Italeri’s CVN-76 kits!

Enjoy the photos.
