Tamiya 78007 1/350 CVN 65 Enterprise Detailed Display Kit  [78007]

Precise 1/350 Scale Replica of the CVN 65 Enterprise

The U.S. Navy's CVN 65 Enterprise, often called the "Big E", was the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and remains a milestone in naval engineering. Launched in 1960, the ship set new standards for carrier design and endurance.

Operational History and Design Highlights

Enterprise was notable for its eight A2W nuclear reactors and reported top speeds near 36 knots, serving through the Cold War with an air wing that could number around 94 aircraft, including types like the F-14A Tomcat and the A-6E Intruder. The Tamiya 78007 captures the carrier's layout and profile for historical modelling.

Assembly Notes and Display Potential

This 1/350 scale Tamiya kit is built for modellers who enjoy precise assembly and authentic detail. The parts replicate the carrier's superstructure and flight deck complexity, producing a standout piece for a military or maritime collection once painted and finished.
