1/350 Airwing details
by Tom's Modelworks |
| The new Trumpeter
Nimitz is another welcome addition to the 1/350 world of ships.
The kit has perhaps the best detailed 1/350 aircraft included. But they
are still needed some help. This set from Tom's will allow you to add scale
weapons hard points, propellers, and landing craft doors to those aircraft. |

Close ups of the fret details
Little details like tail hooks, tow bars, and air brake details for the
aircraft really make this set stand out. Some of the aircraft even have
entry ladders to get your pilots aboard. |
| The instructions are three pages, with
the parts that go with each aircraft listed. There are plan and elevation
views of the aircraft. It would have been nice to have some detail views
showing exact placement of the hard points and gear doors. |

 Conclusions:
This
set will go a long ways toward detailing your airwing. It can also be used
for other 1/350 aircraft carriers. The F-14
aircraft set is available separately. |
