The new Trumpeter 1/350 Nimitz Class Carrier has some really nice aircraft with it. But they can always use some photo etch superdetails. White Ensign Models sells a CVN aircraft set that includes a variety of aircraft, including this one. But it is nice to know that you can order the aircraft sets separately. | |
The set is relief etched and it really shows up on items like the wheel hubs. Landing gear doors, wing flaps, and a tail hook are some of the really nice extras in the set. A really nice touch is the wing fold mechanism to help you attach your wings in the folded position.There are enought parts here to do six complete aircraft. | click images

Conclusions: This is an excellent photo etch set for the die hard 1/350 aircraft modeler. This is set #PE 3575 Grumman E2C Hawkeye Details retailing for £3.11, a pretty good price for all the extras. |
