USS ENTERPRISE (CVN-65) 1:350

August 5, 2023 · in Ships · · 14 · 416

39”, took me about a week. I did not paint the hull the traditional red, after taping off and getting the black straight, I was not about to push my luck and do the red with a second tape off. The lines are decals from decals, rather than trying to paint them on the deck. Therefore, they did not get perfectly straight. I just dust it with a small paintbrush once a month. This is the kit. Everything fit well as expected from Tamiya. The instructions call for the life raft canisters to be flat white, which is wrong. I painted them gray as they should be.
