Michael's impressive build was featured in the
FSM 2017 special issue,
Great Scale Modeling. Because we couldn't fit everything into the magazine, here is a gallery of all the images of his finished creation.
"When the USS
Enterprise (CVN-65) visited Sydney, Australia, in September 1964, I made sure to visit and take pictures — I still have those black-and-white prints," says Michael. "Since then, I’ve been fascinated by these floating cities.
Tamiya’s 1/350 scale kit offered the best possible base for building what I believe is the epitome of an aircraft carrier — at sea, with a deck full of aircraft above and in the hangar below, and lots of crew performing lots of tasks. A ship full of action!"
