Here is a boxed model of USS Nimitz CVN 68 nuclear powered aircraft carrier. Triang code P800, a heavy and large beast. 11inches long or 277mm. The ship has not been out of its box but the box doe shave some storage wear. This is the Tri-ang Minic Ships model of USS Nimitz CVN 68 lead ship of the US Navy's Nimitz Class nuclear powered aircraft carriers which is named after Fleet Admiral Chester W Nimitz who commanded the US Pacific Fleet during World War II. The ten Nimitz class carriers are the largest warships in the world by displacement and are identified by consecutive hull numbers starting with CVN 68 where the letters CV denote the type of ship (aircraft carrier), N denotes nuclear powered propulsion and the number, e.g. 68, means that it is the 68th aircraft carrier commissioned by the US Navy. These 100,000+ ton ships, with an airwing of approximately 72 aircraft operating from a 4.5 acre flight deck, are floating airports able to launch as many as four aircraft per minute to protect the battle group or other friendly shipping; conduct attacks against enemy aircraft, surface ships, submarines and land targets; provide air support to land forces; or implement a sea / air blockade. They can both launch and recover aircraft simultaneously. -
Having made a Virginia Class it seemed right to make a full hull version as would be seen in a dockyard. This is a full hull out of the water/dry dock version of the Virginia Class submarine of which there are currently 17 in service with the US Navy and more being built. This is a second production run and these dont have a self supporting stand so need a dry dock or a bit of blue tack. Only just noticed this difference. 8700tons 370ft long. Length 90mm nearly 4 inches Ref S103 -

SPECIAL OFFER TIME STILL GOT SOME OF THESE TO OFFER YOU. Four unboxed minesweepers/hunters from the US Navy. Four differently though incorrectly numbered by the factory. Acme and Avenger classes but numbered the wrong way around. Combinations will be from 11-15 and in the 5xx series. Triang made these versions when they also made four examples of the OHP, Arleigh Burke, Spruance, Ticonderoga and Nimitz models. All the other ships were made properly but these has the decals the wrong way around and this wasnt noticed until they arrived in the UK. Ideal for war gaming and for repainting and converting. Needless to say we had about 144 of each set. new unboxed meaning uncarded so that they fit into the large letter shipping rate, less than 25mm wrapped. about 2inches in length 50mm each Triang Minic Code P 860 Our ref SP 13 -
Here are a pack of two USN minesweepers/hunters. One of the Avenger Class USS and one of the Acme Class USS. Carded and part of the now ended Triang Minic ships Series 3. Triang code P860 about 2inches in length 50mm each. At present the photos are wrong in that they are of the 2013/4 release with the wrong numbers. We have just found a box of the first release P860 which are correct and these are what are listed.
