A-10 LOADER Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) Greetings all, I just finished a display using this carrier. Can anyone tell me what scale it might be ??, she measures 8 3/4" long. Thanks. Steve Edited April 26, 2016 by A-10 LOADER Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rich in name only Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 google comes up at 1/804. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hajo L. Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I´d say that the model is waaaaay too small for 1/804 scale. I have an aircraft carrier in 1/700 and ithas a length of about one foot at least! Btw, very nice build! HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dose this sound correct ? Thanks HAJO. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rich in name only Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Actually by calculation it is 1 : 1467. 1070' x 12" = 12,840" / 8.75" = 1467.428571428571 give or take an inch. That's close 'cause there may just possibly maybe be someone out there who may have an uncontrollable desire to dispute the ship's length, at least to the significant digits represented by the scale figure. If you can believe any of that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A-10 LOADER Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Thanks for the info Rich. I'm asking because I'd like to add some jets to the flightdeck. I think it looks a little silly empty. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve That is not the Kitty Hawk it is the Kennedy. The exhaust stack and flight deck configuration are different than the Kitty Hawk's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A-10 LOADER Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 Well, nothing I can do about it now. That carrier is forever part of the display Thanks for the info however. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john53 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 The rear deck on the port side is more of a Kennedy configuration. The Kittyhawk had a jog in it. Scale is close to 1/1500 I would guess. Put a 67 decal on the flight deck and all is well.---John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
