1/500 WWII US Ship Collection (Revell)
The pics are of Enterprise, Essex, Saratoga, Nevada, South Dakota, Maryland and Idaho. The pieces are from Revell kits. All three carriers are from the Battle of Midway kit, Idaho and Maryland use the Arizona kit for superstructure and weapons. Nevada is scratch with Arizona weapons. South Dakota uses Missouri superstructure stuff and weapons and all use 5/38's or 40mm from Missouri except Nevada which has 5/38's from a heavy cruiser. I had a ton of these parts from my youth and was locked into this scale. Carriers sure could use some fighters and torpedo planes though. All appear as they looked in 1945.
