My father was a TBM Avenger torpedo pilot on Enterprise late 1944- May 1945. He was a member of the very first squadron to fly low level attack missions from an aircraft carrier at night and in foul weather. He was a member of Night Torpedo Squadron 90. I have the Big E card in my wallet today as she had such a huge impact on my life. I followed my dad as pilot and flew for United Airlines for 29 years. All thanks to the USS Enterprise!

Absolute work of art! Models are the closest we will ever get to seeing the Big E and builds like yours, I feel, definitely do justice to the real ship! Keep up the awesome work!

Absolutely amazing. The figures pull it all together. The two sailors at the starboard stern give the full perspective of how enormous this ship was. All the crews around the parked aircraft is so balanced and well planned out. Simply stunning model Kenneth. We’ll done, sir.

Truly amazing! Without a doubt the work of a true artist!

Wow!! Just wow!!!! I am absolutely speechless on how beautiful of a job you did.... Absolutely museum quality amazing!! 🇺🇸👍

That was fascinating watching the build. Your mastery of PE is second to none. Can’t wait for BB63 and your next museum quality build. Anytime I see you’ve posted a video it makes my day.

From start to finish is a work of art. Your attention to detail is very impressive. Don't stop the videos. Thank You.

Saw the original ship when I was a kid - at the Brooklyn NY Navy Yard - before she was scrapped. Your finished model really does her justice. Well done Kenneth.

I don't normally comment on youtube videos but had to say that this build is absolutely stunning, very admirable work, thank you for sharing!

I absolutely love the shadows in "Vultures Row". The Sailor pushing on the wing of the aircraft on the elevator. The staging of all the personnel on the flight deck The weathering of the ship made your creation...visceral. As a former Navy Quartermaster of the US Navy in the Cold War....I salute your interpretation of the freedom that all people of the world should have.

Congratulations on a fantastic build, absolutely beautiful

Thanks for sharing your beautiful build with us! Very inspiring. I picked up several great tips to use on my projects. Congratulations and I’m already looking forward to your next series!

My dad served on the Big "E" during the war. He saw all the action and shared a few. He retired from the Navy after 33 years of service. Thank you for building the symbol of the past with so much reverence.

I am honestly blown away at the level of detail you achieved. She looks like she’s underway & prepping for flight ops! Outstanding workmanship. If I could nitpick one thing, and it’s the ONLY thing I’ve noticed… at the stern, where the ships name is painted. From memory the letters are painted darker than the hull, almost - if not black. Because it has to be highlighted in order to be visible. Fantastic job celebrating the great CV-6 USS Enterprise. The ‘Big E’. Wonderful work! 🫡

The model looks amazing! I really like watching your build from start to finish. Thank you very much for sharing your build, Kenneth

Beautiful build! Thanks for the show, well worth the time to watch. I have 2 comments from a historian for future builds. 1: All aircraft were armed, fueled and the engines warmed up and tested in the hanger. Loose bombs and torpedoes were forbidden on the flight deck. 2: Spare aircraft were hung from the ceiling in the hanger to replace aircraft too damaged to be repaired. I hope you don't think I'm being too critical, I'm just imparting knowledge for future reference.

You did a nice job building the model, the paint job looks nice as well as the weathering, and your water work is really good. However, a carrier even at its slowest speed would still be moving too fast for a captain's gig to catch up with it. And a carrier would not be underway for a captain's gig to pull up next to it. The ship would come to a full stop and lower the gangway for a whale boat, a captain's gig or admirals barge, or even a motor launch to come alongside and come aboard. Transfers at sea we're usually handled by attaching a line between the two ships while they're underway, the same way un-reps is done ,and a bosun's chair attached to them, and then hoisted across to the other ship.

Extremely impressive model …. The work you put into each individual aircraft, and each figure is well worth the effort . I have been working on USS Intrepid in her jet age modernization configuration for the last year and know how much work goes into a project like this . I can only hope she comes out half way as nice. I am jealous of your skill and patience. Thank you for sharing !

Beautifully done!! The younger sister to my all-time favourite ship, USS Yorktown CV-5! Got her in 1/350 and 1/200 and USS Yorktown CV-10 1/350! Tempted to do her (CV-5) in a camouflage, the way that she might have looked like, had she not been sunk at Midway....

Holy moly, that is some serious modelling skills you have on show! Incredible result after all that hard work! Bra jobbat!

What a phenomenal build Kenneth! It looks like the Big E out on Patrol in the Pacific in a 1/200 scale. I can't wait until the next build. I hope it is either the Billy Mitchell Bomber or that Joyard USS Montana. Have a great Sunday my friend!

WOW!!! Beautiful work. Adding the base and figures really gives it a sense of realism. Great job! Thank you for sharing.

Fantastic job Kenneth so inspiring it's a pleasure to watch you build

Hi, This is a fantastic build, thank you for showing.

Great summary of an outstanding build. The indexes to relevant videos are very nice.

Bravo Zulu on an excellent build and presentation. Looking forward to more of your builds. I hope you enjoyed the build because that is the purpose of the model.

Absolutely love your build. Thanks for sharing.

Stunning……. A true museum piece. The realism over all is so wonderful and the sea state so realistic……..absolutely love it.

Fantastisk Kenneth. Following your build for the last six months or so has been a pleasure. I'm sure you are very proud of the finished ship. Well done and keep it up.

Fantastic job! The detail is impressive. A labor of love.

Love your work mate. I am currently working on the 1/200 Hornet CV-8 and your series on this build has really helped and inspired me. Keep up the great work. Look forward to your next build.

Very modest of you to say it isn't the perfect build. It is absolutely amazing.

the Pacific Ocean. Thanks for sharing your work!

Very nice. A work of a true master modeler. Such detail. Outstanding!

What alot of work and dedication absolutely awsome Kenneth

Absolutely masterclass, museum quality build. My hat's off to you!

Beautiful work. Amazingly realistic.

Beautiful work! Thank you for sharing!

Wow wow wow...I bow to your talents...🚣🚣🚣🚤🚤

I agree with other comments regarding the addition of crew members, it makes such a huge difference to the way the finished ship is appreciated by viewers. BRAVO !! Great skills and great English, 😉 thank you.

Kenneth this build turned out absolutely amazing. I just hope I can do at least half as well as you did on yours. When I do start my big E, I'll be using your build as reference and inspiration. Well done.

Absolutely beautiful work ! Thanks for making all of your videos. My hull is sitting in my Andrew 3D stand waiting for me to start.

That is exceptional work!

congratulations ! this is a piece of art ! really I m not a pro diorama indeed but your weathering is just incredible ...... Characters give another dimension to the build. Bravo looking forward to sseeing your next project .

Absolutely magnificent work, gorgeous execution. I’ve been building large scratch-built ships going on fifty years, and I’ll tell you-I am humbled. This made me subscribe because now I want to see all that you’ve done. Please keep building and post all the details. My abilities are much less than they were, so I’ll never build this vessel. I’m getting older and sick, but watching this is almost as good as making one of my own. I consider you a master model maker, and I hope I have time enough to see more of your beautiful work. Vær så snill og hold deg frisk, og takk!

Wow! That is a really beautiful ship.

Very nicely done!

Your work is great and fun to watch.

I started building models circa 1952, so I've seen a few. Yours of Enterprise makes me think you must have made a Faustian pact to be given that level of skills! (Plus extraordinary patience and commitment.) So, thanks for showing us what's achievable.

Absolutely amazing, wow

Beautiful build !!Asolutely Amazing Congrest ...

Amazing work 👏

Awesome work!

Gees Kenneth amazing work on the CV-6 Enterprise built, l've started my build now & all going good so far, l'm using your videos for reference material, and your tips & tricks along the way😊 you have mention. I also visited (Bunker Studio) site to purchase the guns you mention to add to my build. Thanks again for all your great work you put into your model build videos and sharing with your subscribers. Can't wait to see what you pick out for your next build. Happy Modelling Kenneth 👍😊 cheers Daryl

I think your build is magnificent. While all that brass PE was spectacular, I REALLY like how your flight deck turned out. It really sets off the entire model.

Simply amazing build! Hard to believe that this ship , which arguably could be considered one of, if not the most important ship in world history for what it accomplished, was scrapped.

Very nice build. Well done!

Nice! Very beautiful ship model!

Fantastic job

Excellent work! I like how you finished the flight deck. Looks authentic

It turned out awesome!!!

Work of art. Simple amazing.

from start to finish, i have anticipated each new segment. Kenneth you are a master at shipbuilding and I can't wait to see what is next on your build list. By the way, congrats, you are ever closer to that 2 thousand subscribers and you deserve many more

awesome work

Great build!

Fantastic work, keep on. Already close to two thousand. From Canada 👍👍👍👍👍

Awesome build

That is an awesome model! 👍

Awesome work my friend keep up the good work 👍

great build thanks for sharing!

An amazing build

Beautiful Model Built Sir!

Very well done...cheers

What a fantastic model ...i will never get close to achieving that level of detail . Enjoyed watching the entire build series . Would love to see you build a mordern carrier... Again absolutely awsome 👍👍😊

Awesome job I wish I had 1/10th the skill you have. I'm working on it

Very Nice...Love it !

Fantastic!

You created a beautiful model I just subscribed to your channel and plan to watch your whole build of this kit! I was in the navy and my first ship stopped in Arendal for a week Norway is a beautiful country. I live only 40 miles from th

Nice! Really nice!!

Kenneth the ship looks amazing, you should be proud with the end results

Superb!

Heard about you from Nigel in the UK. Watched the builds. And loved every one! Awesome build!

Just found your channel via Paul over at Plastic Monkey. I have now subscribed. Great channel and I think you have elements that I get inspiration from to add into my own channel. Your model building is amazing! I plan to go back and watch all of your videos on at least this build.

Great job, Thank you 😊 😊

She looks beautiful.

Wow!!!! I have no words...

Outstanding work Kenneth , Thank You for sharing your building journey. what's next on the building docks? Hope you have a great week, Cheers, Tony

I hope a museum or something like that gets to display it so the public can see your work

Exquisite!

Absolutely masterpiece! Only one doubt: shouldn't be better adding more waves effects after the first one?

❤❤❤❤ Fantastic!!!

That’s just an unbelievable build! Congratulations. Since perfection seems to be your goal, could I dare to make a suggestion? The water looked very realistic. But the ONE bow wave that emanated from the ship is not realistic. Several waves of varying intensity occur. But the way you presented the water seemed very realistic. Absolutely incredible.

CV-6, The Luck E, The Gray Ghost and the Big E. A major player in destroying the IJN.

Absolutely stunning work, so much detail going on. The Pontos PE set looks amazing and you did it justice. I hope you don't mind I linked one of your earlier videos about the E6000 glue in my latest video as I used it for the first time after seeing your use. Sorry, I referred to you as the Norwegian Modelling Bench guy as didn't realised your name is Kenneth until now😐

Cara ficou fantástico seu porta-aviões

I almost picked up this size scale model of the USS Enterprise CV-6, and I would have really loved to try to put it together. But I also realize that my skills are not up to par and I really couldn't do this justice like you have

Amazing work, especially on the photo-etch and aircraft. Just some input from an old Sailor (Senior Chief Ret), you need some more figures on the fantail with brooms acting like they are actually working.

👏 Excellent.

You have done an absolutely amazing job on this. I will definitely be rewatching this series when I get around to building mine. Did you 3D print your own figures, or are they the Trumpeter ones?

Fantastisk flott arbeide 👍
