1/350 Scale USS Enterprise CVN-80 Ford Class Carrier

So I continued by tying the island down very firmly, and then building all of the deck equipment:

The I added a lot of the details to the vessel. LIfe Buoys, life rafts, Fire Hoses, the blast deflectors, the distinctive forward cat station on the Ford with the new roof/overhang on the station, etc.

I then added the rest of the many decals for the carrier, including the new distinctive way thay have laid out the helo landing spots on the port side, the Island decals, and the entire air wing just laid out on the deck there :

The it was time to add the air wing to the deck (and I set it up for an all out launch using all four cats to get a huge strike fore cup), added the deck equipment, and then added the crew around the flight deck, the island, and on the catwalks. She is looking very good at this point with her 6th gen air wing, complimented by 16 F-35Cs at this point circa 2032-2035...maybe later:

I'll show all of that on the next two pages of pics:

@bd popeye @Obi Wan Russell @Air Force Brat @FORBIN @Equation @Blackstone @vesicles @Bernard @SamuraiBlue @SampanViking @Jura @dtulsa @Bltizo with the 6th gen aircraft and the laser and rail gun stations, she is definitely set up for the future. I thought you guys would like these pics...and then my final pics when I complete all of the touch up, the final coats, and set it up for display and do the youtube video:

You get a real good feel for the futuristic self defense stations with the 3rd from the last and the last pic, with the additional laser and rail gun stations aft on the port and starboard sides.

So, on the table before all of the final touch up. After this, it will be the show off pics and video:

The deck is almost full !
