                        I remember taking a tour of the 1/1 Nimitz at Puget Sound when it was in for a refit in April of 87.

                        That thing is huge!!!

                        Just wish she'd had all her planes on her when I toured.

                        There was also a Enterprise CV_6 and CVA-65 done and featured in that scale as well. Awesome ships!

                        HEY,
                        I dont know what it was but my stepdad and his brother built a tamiya aircraft carrier with jets on it and stuff, forklifts/weaponlifts, helecopters. It was awsome. Then his brothers house burnt down, and guess where the carrier was? Took them together more than a year to do.
