pianodog Very good point thank you, 3% is not that bad. =) Now I went into the Gold Medal Models web page but they do not accept on-line orders, any one knows a store who carries this products so that I can place my order? thanks again.

I was asking the same question on another thread. The PE price for the the 1:720 set is the same $24 at GMM and at Pacific Front Hobby. The difference is $2.50 vs. $5.35 in shipping if you pick USPS instead of UPS at PFH. $2.85 additional for the convenience of using Paypal or credit card at PFH.
Pacific Front Hobbies is the naval modeling subsection of Free Time Hobbies. I have had OUTSTANDING service from them. You can order GMM sets from them instead of ordering directly from GMM. And, you can pay by either credit/debit card or paypal.

Starfighter has ship decals just for this kit too, and they really wake it up!!

Check Freetime Hobbies/Pacific Front. They are one of the better ship-centric online hobby vendors in the States. You might find onesies/twosies on GMM products at other outlets such as Sprue Bros or Squadron but Freetime stocks a lot, both GMM and other manufacturers.

pianodog Hi,thanks for your answer I have an other question, sorry about that, I see that they have 1/700 scale kits, can I use those for my 1/720 model? Thanks again.

The difference between 1:700 and 1:720 scale with respect to 1:700 scale railings is about 3% (i.e. 20/700). That is actually pretty close.
Scale fidelity is one's personal choice. I choose to not mix scales in excess of 10%.
wow They do make the PE for 1/720, thanks so much for that help =)
The Gold Medal Models 1/720 photo-etch set is quite nice; a bit pricey but definitely worth it.
They also sell decal sheets for the aircraft. Very tiny and challenging to work with, but really make the model look super.

I know that Gold Medal Models produces modern US Aircraft Carrier sets that are quite nice, but I do not know whether there is a specific set for this kit. Check them out at www.steelnavy.com or Pacific Front Hobbies.
Hello everyone,
I am sure this will be the first of many post I'll be placing, I hope this forum can bring some light, I have many models in my "build this some day", well I think the day has come. Here is the first line of questions.1.- Any one knows if there is a Kit of PE (photo etched) for a 1/720 USS Enterprise? I would like to add maybe some railing to it.
2.- The model has some imperfections, any good filler that you nice people recommend?
Thank you all in advance.
