Scale Replica of the CVN-73 George Washington

The CVN-73 George Washington is a Nimitz-class carrier launched in July 1992 and named after the first President of the United States. Its full load displacement is recorded at 96,300 tons and it spans 332.9 metres, qualifying it as a significant subject for naval modelling.

Trumpeter's 1/500 rendition captures the carrier's major features, including the flight deck profile and engine room layout. The kit components allow careful assembly of key sections so modellers can highlight structural detail and deck operations in their finished display.

  • Scale: 1/500
  • Length: 332.9m (real-world reference)
  • Flight Deck Length: 333.9m (real-world reference)
  • Propulsion: 4 turbine generators, 4 shafts propeller (real-world reference)

How detailed is the 1/500 scale model?

The model offers fine structural detail appropriate for display, balancing accuracy with a manageable build size for most workbenches.

Are additional photo-etched parts required?

The kit is complete for a solid build, though modellers seeking extra finesse may add aftermarket photo-etched details or rigging items.

What paint approach works best for the deck?

Use primer and layered acrylics or enamel paints, plus fine masking for deck markings to achieve a clean, realistic finish.
