jimz66 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Great concept. I never knew the the Saratoga was longer the Enterprise. I never would have guessed that one in a million years. I had to check it on Wikipedia. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wh1skea Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Shame they scrapped the "Big E". I would have figured if any ship was saved from the scrapyard, she would have been. After all, she is claimed to be the most decorated ship of WW2. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Mullins Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I like this one a lot.. I presume this will be 1/700 scale? I have the Enterprise and New Jersey in 1/350 and they're huge. I would love to build them together into something like this. Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites
