NEW DECALS FOR 1:350 SCALE USS ENTERPRISE AND OTHER NUCLEAR AIRCRAFT CARRIERS

Found this today which might be of interest to you guys Gold Medel Models have just released a new decal set for the big "E" or Nimitz class aircraft carrier models in 1:350 scale.


NEW GMM DECAL SET FOR 1/350 SCALE NUCLEAR-POWERED USN AIRCRAFT CARRIERS.

The first production run of GMM's all-new decal set for Tamiya's popular 1/350 scale nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Enterprise and Trumpeter's forthcoming 1/350 scale Nimitz has arrived here and the quality is the very best we have ever seen. Registration and colors are superb in every way, even under extreme magnification. Artwork for the instruction sheet was sent to the printers on Monday, April 10. The two-sheet set is printed in six colors (black, white, red, yellow, blue, and green) plus clear, and will provide the following markings:

FOR ALL SHIPS: Eight red warning circles in two sizes for rotating weapons mounts; twelve bomb jettison ramp markings for flight decks; assorted awards with hashmarks in full color and in three sizes for bridge wings; assorted sets of campaign ribbon groups in full color; national ensigns and jacks in both straight and "windblown" formats; yellow & red flight deck elevator and ordnance elevator striping; white and red forward flight deck striping; Underway Replenishment markings in several styles for elevator edges and nearby superstructure areas; ten sets of underwater hull draft markings in black & white; 18 sets of Flight Deck Electrical Power Hatch striping; numbers for Tow Tractors in two sizes;

FOR ENTERPRISE: Hollow white outlined flight deck numbers in the correct shape (Tamiya's molded engraved lines depict an incorrectly shaped "65"); "Big E" marking for rear of island; "USS ENTERPRISE CVN-65" titles for the island front in two sizes and three variations for three different eras; Aviation Boatswains' Mates' Wings, ship's plaque, and small black eagle for lower island front; five "Beware of Jet Blast Propellers and Rotors" signs in four styles for different eras; "Hormuz Highway Patrol", kill marks, and related awards for late 1980's period.

FOR NIMITZ-CLASS: Correctly shaped hollow and solid numbers for flight decks including one set of oversize solid "68" numerals for an early Nimitz; correctly shaped shadowed and non-shadowed white numbers for islands of all ships in the class; assorted island signs for damage control equipment; twelve different sets of Aviation Boatswains' Mates' wings for all ships' island fronts to represent a variety of eras; and nine sets of "Beware of Jet Blast Propellers And Rotors" warning signs for islands representing all ships and several eras.

The heavily illustrated instruction sheet provides detailed information on usage and proper display of all the above markings. Watch this site for information on release dates and price. Availability is scheduled for late April.
