Detailing an USS Enterprise...

What you can also do is scratchbuild one sample of each aircraft. It is not as dauntng as you think when you simply modify available aircraft. (The real navy does that) and cast copies with RTV molds and resin. That stuff is available from Micro-Mark and is not difficult to work with. Please post a pic of your results.

Any F-14 fan is a friend of mine.
Since model building is all about experimenting, use whatever you wnat to achieve your desired results. I built an Arii kit of the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72), that I served aboard, a few years ago. I used the Gold Medal Models detail set for the Enterprise/Nimitz as well as some figures. I would say that you will need to use whatever is available to get what you want. Some of the aircraft may be tricky to find. Good luck.

and forgot that it was over 75% water.
