USS Missouri

[binkleywalker]

Hey all,

Does anyone build model battleships? I'm starting the Tamiya 1/350 scale Missouri and the Enterprise.

I've seen some sites online that have some great pics of people's models, but since this is my home, I wanted to see what you all had.

Or any sites you would recommend.

And what's a good alternate color for deck blue?? I don't want to mix 3 colors...

Thanks!

Brian

I scrachbuilt a 1/350 Enterprise a few months back, I used pewter gray for the hull

I work mostly in 1/144 scale. I have been working off n on for many years on my RC U.S.S. Nimitz. She is 8 feet long nearly 2 feet wide and has a complete hanger deck with a full 80+ air wing. I started the same scale U.S.S. Missouri but she has a long way to go. I am however toying with the idea of doing a 1/350 Arizona Memorial over the sunken ship.

So great to see other battleship guys here.

I've been working on my R/C 1/144 Maryland for the longest time; six years I think. One day I'll finish her up. Here she is in her current state. The Aft fire control needs to be completely redone, and i'm still working on the Barbettes. What i've got are stand ins only.

If you're talking ENTERPRISE, are you speaking of the CV-6? If so here is a pic of a scratch built 1/96 scale "Gray Ghost" that I did a few years back.
