Mark Deliduka 347 Posted November 12 Report Share Posted November 12 This is something I pre-ordered way back when I actually had some money. That was about eight months ago and it finally came in. This is the academy 1/600 scale USS Enterprise. I originally ordered it hoping it had the beehive tower, but this is the later refit. No big deal; I'm still gonna enjoy building this: I got this from Hobbylink Japan. Once I requested it to be shipped; it took a total of three days to get to my door. Fantastic service!

Mark Deliduka 347 Posted Friday at 11:52 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 11:52 PM While I was at our latest mini-Hobby Day, the guy who owns the tire store next door to our Hall came by. He gave me this kit, free of charge: The price was right! Even though I already built one; I'm still going to do this one too. Link to post Share on other sites
philp 15 Posted Saturday at 12:55 AM Report Share Posted Saturday at 12:55 AM I had one of those in my teens. If I found another I would do it without the message board or replace it with an LED option. Link to post Share on other sites
Rusty White 85 Posted Saturday at 02:11 AM Report Share Posted Saturday at 02:11 AM Has anyone ever determined exactly what the scale was of this kit? Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Deliduka 347 Posted Saturday at 06:24 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 06:24 PM Phil, thanks! That might be an idea here. Rusty, I haven't found out yet. I would love to know myself. Link to post Share on other sites
Dick Montgomery 128 Posted Sunday at 02:38 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 02:38 AM The Goodyear blimp, in its current configuration is 192 feet in length. Measure the length of the model and, as my 7th grade teacher said, "do the math". Link to post Share on other sites
philp 15 Posted Sunday at 04:44 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 04:44 AM This one would be the GZ-20 which were first launched in 1968 (according to Wiki). They were 192' 6" long. Old Model Kits lists it as 1/169th. Doing the math, as Dick said, puts it about 1/171st so close to N scale but slightly smaller. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
