First Look

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:

1. Two sets of SH-3 interiors
2. One RA-5C interior
3. Six F-4J interiors
4. Six A-7E interiors
5. Three A-6E interiors

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.
