Recreating the Legendary Carrier CVN 65 Enterprise

The CVN 65 Enterprise was the first of its kind as a nuclear-powered carrier and holds a unique place in naval history. Its 1960 launch marked a major advance in carrier endurance and operational range.

Service Record and Key Features

Powered by multiple A2W reactors, Enterprise achieved speeds reported around 36 knots and carried a large air group, including aircraft such as the F-14A Tomcat and A-6E Intruder. The Tamiya 78007 kit models these proportions and the carrier's distinctive silhouette.

This 1/350 kit is crafted for modellers who appreciate detailed construction. Expect many small components that reward careful painting and weathering, making the finished model a convincing representation for a shelf or diorama.
