The Doolittle Raid on Tokyo in 1/350 Scale 

Agreed 1000% about the Enterprise. She should never have been scrapped. Ultimately they realized the mistake and created five Essex class Museum ships. See: www.jeffhead.com/US-CVMuseums.htm

Jeff Head 4 Essex class museums, Oriskany was sunk as an artificial reef

Thank you. I put quite a few out...but have a LOT more, including full CSGs of the Chinese, Russians, French, Royal NAvy (using the Illustrious), the Japanese with their Hyuga class, etc. I really need to get some of those on here. I also a a complete US Navy CSG which I could show three carrier...but since Enterprise CVN-65 is decommissioned (or at least deactivated) I would have to do two with the USS Robnald Reagan and the USS Enterprise CVN-80, with 3-4 Burkes, 1-2 Ticos, and two Freedom class LCS outfitted for ASW and a Virginia CLass, the USS Texas, and a Sea Wolf class, the USS Sea Wolf. I also have a complete US NavyARG in 1/350 with the Iwo Jim LHD, the New York LPD, the LSD Haprer's Ferry, and two Burkes and two Independence class, along with a Flight II 6881 Los Angles Class sub.

incredible friend, where do you keep all the models? Do you have them all displayed in showcases? a greeting

I bought an extra set of B-25s to get up to the number I have. Both Merit and Trumpeter make 1/350 scale B-25 models than come in packs of either 8 or 10. The MOdel itself had about 10-12 I believe.

Gid bless him. Is he still with us? My father was a Combat Naval officer in the PTO, commanded an LCI (690) and was with the MaUthur group coming up ultimately to the Philippines. He was on his way to help invade China when the war ended and then spent an extra year hauling Japanese citizens and soldiers back from China to Japan. He passed in 2004 and not a day goes by that I do not miss him. H was a good man, and a patriot who took his oath to the US Constitution seriously until the day he died. I am proud to be his son and hope I can be half the man he was, and raise my sons to be twice the man I am...if I do, I will have done well and will thank God for it.

Yes it is. Along with some after market detail up kits. I have an entire write up on Fine Scale Modeler about it: cs.finescale.com/fsm/modeling_subjects/f/7/t/175098.aspx Great kit.

@@JeffHead-IdahoUSA yeh... i'vr seen it. It was a great help.... i have finished the enterprise (merit)... now building the hornet (trumpeter)... 1/350.

Thank you for subscribing and for the kind words!

Thanks. My father was a US Navy officer and combat vet in the PTO. This was a truly critical mission and really gave the US eople hope...and would lead to Midway.

My grandpa was on the Uss Cvn 65 enterprise

I'm from Hollanf. I've made th uss enterprise & hornet 1:350. Why?

USS Thresher (SS-200)

Yeah but it the thing that still remains a mystery to this day is what sunk the USS Thresher

Yes....it was the USS THRESHER....., and included in this video......but we're not able to see it 'cause.....the model kit is sailing on inmerssion below the table...!!

@@pepehidalgo6651 lol...

The USS Vincennes, CA-44, in 1/350 Scale is available from Trumpeter Kit #05039. I have a complete review and build page for it over on the Fine Scale Modeler forum. Just go to that site and search for "USS Vincennes in 1/350 Scale by Jeff Head" or google the same thing and it should lead you to the site where I give a history of the ship and a complete explanation of how I built the model with many pictures as I did so. Ths is the site if youtube lets it stay cs.finescale.com/fsm/modeling_subjects/f/7/t/174798.aspx

Jeff Head ok thank you very much jeff,great ship.. but the best ship is the uss missouri bb-63

Francesco Schivo I have a 1/350 scale model of another ship in that class, BB-62, USS New Jersey. It was the second Iowa class BB, after the Iowa, and was commissioned in May 1943, and then went to war in January 1944 and particpated throughout the remainder of the war. she was called on in Korear, and then in 1968 was modernized and called on to provide firs support in Vietnam. Finally, after another very significant modernization in 1982, she was called upon again for Cold War action. With this modernization, all of the Iowa class received modern sensors, the ability to land and fuel modern helicopters, new modern armament to compliment the 16" and 5" guns. This new armament consisted of four Phalanx 20mm Close-in Weapons systems (CIWS), eight Box Launchers carrying four Tomahawk land attack cruise missiles each for a total of 32 Tomahawk missiles, four quad launchers for Harpoon anti- shipping missiles for a total of sixteen of those missiles, and a flight pad supporting helicopters from the SH-60 Seahawk ASW/SAR to CH-47 transport helicopters. As stated, each vessel also received all of the modern radars, sensors, communication, computer, and defense systems to to go with it. I built her to that rendition and you can see it, after that upgrade, here on Fine Scale Modeling: cs.finescale.com/fsm/modeling_subjects/f/7/t/168790.aspx
