REVELL 1/1200 USS Nimitz (CVN-68)

I believe this kit is a new mould released in December 2012. I picked it up in Modelzone for £ 8.99, early January 2013.

The box (31 x 18cm) is the standard open ended type which contains the instructions, decals, 3 sprues in sealed plastic bag and a full hull:

The instructions are in the usual booklet format on 8 pages:

The deck (for size comparison alongside the Revell 1/1200 USS Hornet):

The hull, which I'll be chopping down as I like to build mine waterline:

The decals are all in register in spite of this poor image:

Looks a good addition to the 1/1200 ships range, I'll have a little study of the sprues and instructions and post some comments in due course.

Simon.
