Revell 1/400 USS Enterprise Instructions
Posted by rburnside on Sunday, January 1, 2006 1:29 PM
Hope someone can help me here.  I just picked up Revell's now-discontinued 1/400 Enterprise Aircraft Carrier.  Got a great deal for a big boat.  Only problem is, it didn't come with the instruction manual.  It appears that all parts are there, but it didn't come in the original box either.  So, if nobody has the manual, how about the kit number so I can try to order the manual through Revell.  Thanks for the help.

It is the nuclear carrier kit from the 60's.   Originally released by Aurora, then by Monogram, finally by Revell.   Bert Kinsey called it the second best 1:400 scale model of the Enterprise.   (The only other kit in the category is by Otaki)

Do you still need the instruction sheet?

I've got them and would be willing to help.

Have you heard of any aftermarket PE or anything for the big "BIG E"?

There are no dedicated PE sets for this kit in this scale.   You will either have to cobble items together from other sets (a rail here, a radar there) - or accept the 12.5% scale difference [(400-350)/400] and use 1:350 details.   They will appear too large whan applied to the kit.
