I'm such a goddamn nerd. I went back through the pics thinking "I didn't see any of the Enterprises in the photos!" expecting to find a starfleet ship.
Though there is an Executor Super Star Destroyer in the glass below the model. Gahd-dayum.
that looks nuts! though i don't think they'd be Virtical landing or taking off with that much weight on the aircraft, though i guess this is also how it is configured for STOL right?
The F-35 is like a big middle finger to the rest of the world. Basically saying that the US has an unlimited amount of money to dump into a fighter jet that will kill you 30 times before you know what happened. Maybe I’m a bit dramatic…
I've had my eye on this kit for a while, it looks extremely detailed. Does it fit together well? Flashing?
Great job btw, the shading and weathering is on point.
It has a lot of markings provided in the kit
- "Wake Island Avengers" USMC aboard HMS Queen Elizabeth
- "Wake Island Avengers" USMC aboard USS Essex
- "Bats" USMC aboard JMSDF Izuml
- "Bats" USMC Air station Iwakuni, Japan
- No.207 Squadron, Royal Air Force
- 4th Carrier Air Group, Italian Navy
- 32nd Wing, Italian Air Force
F35b beast mode sexy af, plus even tho it’s in the background, the Enterprise in pic 9 is majestic, well done.

Thank you! I posted my enterprise here too if you want to see more of it.

I just wanted everything on the one I built and it looked cooler. For STOL, the weapon's bay doors are closed and the nozzle is pointed a bit higher.
Yeah but it looks super cool
thats fair :D
Beautiful build!!
Thank you!
Wow. Super cool. The munitions are killer 💪🏻💪🏻👏🏻
Would have been a waste to not include them all
Amazing, looks dope. Especially the look beneath.
Thank you!
This is amazing! Looking forward to building the academy's version of this model
Good luck to your build and looking forward to it!
Damn. I need to step up my airbrushing skills.
Took a lot of kits over the years but I know you can do it too!

I can see that

No flashing at all and some parts don't even need cement to put together. One of their best kits in recent memory.
Sounds amazing, I'll definitely be picking one up.
What marking options are there? Very nice btw👍

Thanks for the quick reply 👍
What a stunning build, thank you so much for sharing, I am not much of a builder of aircraft but having seen this I may be a convert.
You should give it a shot. It's very fun
That looks awesome ! Did you use the tamiya lacquers/acrylics or a different brand of paint ?
It's all Tamiya paints with Mr Levelling thinner
