Sorry about this being so late, I never noticed your post, If you haven't already done so, fill it! There are three other Enterprise builds on the go by MrMaker/A.M.Jorge/Jockster if you want inspiration and ideas!

Quite a project if you are new to modelling though, best of luck with your build.

Here's my OOB Review and Build-up thread for my own build of this model here on Fine Scale Modeling:

Tamiya's 1/350 Scale USS Enterprise, My OOB Review and Build-up

Hope there is some stuff in there to not onlu answer this question, but help in your overall build.

Thanks.  it was a lot of fun.  

I had had that model sitting around in my stach for twenty years...then I was diagnosed with cancer and had a very difficult bout in 2010 with three major surgeries, a lot of rehab, and significant disabilities.

When I got back (we live in Idaho and I had to go down to Houston to MD Anderson), and utlimately was able to return to work, my wife suggested I start back in on the models, and so I did.  

She's an angel and was absolutely right.  It's been very therapuetic...and very enjoyable.

Stonecold6ship, on the starboard side, the catwalk for the flight deck will ultimately hide it.  You can fill it, but in the end, I found you would not see it anyway.

Here's a couple of pictures from my Review and Buildup of Tamiya's 1/350 scale USS Enterprise, CVN-65. (Click on the pic for a high res version):



Hope that helps.
