White Ensign Models continues to turn out some very interesting
detail sets in their 1/350 scale range. This particular release
is more like a "super set" in that it has just about everything
you'll need on the flight deck of Trumpeter's 1/350 USS Nimitz.
Not only does this set dress up the deck aircraft, it provides
interiors for these aircraft as well - in 1/350 scale!
This set includes:
- Two sets of SH-3 interiors
- One RA-5C interior
- Six F-4J interiors
- Six A-7E interiors
- Three A-6E interiors
- Two S-3 interiors
- Two A-3 interiors
- Two A-3 exterior detail sets
- Two S-3 exterior detail sets
- Two E-2C exterior detail sets
- Six A-7 exterior detail sets
- One RA-5C exterior detail set
- Two SH-3 exterior detail sets
- Six F-4J exterior detail sets
- Three A-6E exterior detail sets
- One flight deck crash barricade
- An assortment of trollies, boarding ladders, towbars,
and aircraft jacks
Each aircraft exterior detail set contains gear doors, underwing
pylons, flaps, speed brakes, and landing gear components, as applicable.
The interior detail sets include cockpit tub, ejection seat(s),
instrument panels, etc.
This set provides a nice range of details to dress up some of the airwing
and add much of the other details onto the deck of your USS Nimitz. When
coupled with the other fitting sets from White Ensign Models,
you'll definitely have a work of art for your mantle!
Just when you thought you couldn't find any greater detail in 1/350 scale,
White Ensign Models has come alongside with their latest creations.
Definitely recommended for advanced ship builders!
My sincere thanks to White
Ensign Models for this review sample!
