The Nimitz is depicted about the time of changeover from Tomcats to Hornets and a squadron of Hornets is aboard for trials.
I used the White Ensign Models photoetch kit which is really excellent and gives you almost everything you need. I would have liked to have the big pipes that run at the stern into the water and some little aircraft hooks for the tugs.
Aircraft were sprayed in Light Ghost Grey and the overall ship hull was a light ghost grey.
I found some great online sources and did a lot of printing for the hangar deck to get the various signs and stuff most of which can't be seen.. lol.
The water was done using tissues in PVA glue and then hit with blue and clear gloss.
