1/700 USS Enterprise CV-6 (HP Models)

The USS Enterprise, 1942, prior to The Battle of Midway.  The Enterprise was the second of three Yorktown class ships.  She missed only one battle in WWII, the Battle of the Coral Sea in early 1942.  The USS Enterprise was the most decorated ship of WWII, receiving 20 Battle Stars. The Enterprise survived the war, but was mothballed after the war as she was not big enough to handle jet aircraft. Sadly, she was scrapped in 1956, as not enough money could be raised to save her as a museum piece.

I used the following in constructing this model::

• Planes from Cyber Hobby and Trumpeter
• Fine Molds 20mm AA guns
• Fine Molds Quad 1.1 AA guns
• Corsair Armada 5"/38 Single Open Mount
• Eduard Enterprise CV6 Photo Etch
• Tom’s Modelworks US Carrier Photo Etch
• Gold Medal Photo Etch Naval Ship
• Blue Ridge Models Wood Deck HP USS Enterprise
• Modelkasten 0.07 wire for rigging
• Island structure from Model Monkey via Shapeways

I have also included two photos updating my recent submission of  the CV5 Yorktown, 1942, with added flight deck striping.
