kap64 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 This was on my front porch this morning and yes, it's about 2/3 the length of my couch! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rightwinger26 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Nice! Are you going to join in the Naval GB? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kap64 Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 I'd like too, but my kit building is on hiatus for now, I work in a different state from where my house and kits are located. It would literally take me a year to build a major kit like this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

john53 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Nice! How is the detailing of it? Never heard of Merit, they give you lots of Tomcats and Intruders? Makes me want to dig out my stalled 1/700 Lexington and do some work, naaaah too many projects to finish up first. Does it have full hull and waterline options? You can always get rid of the couch or get a display case and downsize the couch to a love seat! ---John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kap64 Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) Here are some sprue shots. Detail is good, not too oversized. I like the clear windows and aircraft. I'd like to see a waterline option and more aircraft. It comes with 4ea F-14, 4ea F-18C, 4ea EA-6b, 2ea E-2, 2ea SH-60, and 2ea S-3. Some aircraft have 15-16 parts. Weird thing, they have drop tanks, but no weapons. I think they may be the same ones made by Trumpeter, except in clear. There is a hangar deck, but no walls or other interior details, so you will have to scratch build or close the doors. It could use more photo etch. http://s171.photobucket.com/user/kap64/library/my%20misc%20kits/USS%20JFK?sort=4&page=1 Edited August 25, 2015 by kap64 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john53 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Nice, like the clear aircraft. Mine I will paint the cockpit area interior green then blue gray so the interior will show up through the cockpit canopies. My aircraft are WWII.---John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cag_200 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) Nice detail... very nice kit, though Trumpeter style plastic. Edited October 12, 2016 by cag_200 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
