1/72nd Scale CVN 65 USS Enterprise

Mr. Gabriel Suranyi dedicated a total of nineteen (19) years of detailed craftsmanship to complete the building of this 1/72 scale, sixteen foot long, five foot wide, four foot high carrier. The Model was featured on the front page and fold-out centerfold in the March 1997, 15th-year-edition of FineScale Modeler magazine. The U.S. Navy also ferried the builder, Gabe Suranyi, via a C-2A to the U...
Beautiful and inspiring work! Thanks for sharing !
This model was featured in Fine Scale Modeler many years back. I still have the issue.
the hanger bay padeyes are not even to scale. if you scaled them 1/1 based of the current scale you have them...they would be like 2' diameter...lol
Nice work and some great detail. In addition to aircraft the small boats are kept in the hangar deck on a carrier.
No longer. Thanks for the reply.
Cool 👍
There is so much work that goes into this! and there is a 1/72 nuclear USS Enterprise which exist as well 👍
That model as my dad would say "that is one big sum bitch!!!!!"
Amazing work!!! It takes me forever just to finish a model airplane. I don`t think I have enough years left to even think of starting something like this.
Too many A-6’s
I’d wanna play with the Jets lol
like the build it yourself attitude - way more satisfaction
il modellino è bellissimo, l'operatore video meglio che faccia un corso
An absolutely outstanding achievement. Would be wonderful to see in a high definition video format which would showcase the detail you’ve implemented.
The only mistake I see is the red on the turret tops. Although that was scheduled to be done to Arizona, it was delayed until Monday...and was never done.
How did u get the rigging so pristine?
When it gets frustrating, you get up and walk away and come back at it. That took me about a week to do. Thanks for the comment.
Looks like you are missing a 14" barrel from X turret
I’m missing the blast bag part the barrel inserts into!
@@boomstick68 it looked like the hole barrel was missing along with the blast bag from the video.
They are. Can’t install the barrel without the blast bag part!
I think I still have that edition of FineScale Modeler in my collection. Always told myself that I was going to have to visit that place someday.
Nice work but the central propellor was 4 bladed not 3 bladed
I’ve read that Olympic had four not Titanic! But it has been discussed quite a lot! Thanks for watching!!
Fantastic work, James. I've looked at mine in the box several times and think "someday." I'm probably just kidding myself. 😄 So, I salute you in your accomplishment. 👍💯
Thank you! I lost interest in it so I did drag my feet getting it done!
Magnificent!!!!!😊😊😊
Let's go
Fabulous, a real labour of love.
Nice model, did,'t they need to chain them down? Don't see any chains or pad-eyes.

such a impressive model, all kind of details but no hull plating, that'a pitty.
Wow
Flog lol

National Naval Aviation Museum, Pensacola, Florida
@@boomstick68 Check 👍🏻
Awesome.. it visited down under.. thanks from NZ 👍🇳🇿
FIRSTLY, 'James G' Thanks for posting this video, it is EXCELLENTLY Detailed!! Secondly, Mr. Suranyi, you have Done a SUPERIOR Job, as a fellow modeller, I will study this video...Extensively, when " I " build my USS ENTERPRISE CVN-65, I also plan on building it to This timeline.....BUT.....my model will be Much, much smaller...in 1/700 scale. Mr. Suranyi, your Work has inspired me into getting to this model .... Quickly.... I have an Uncle that served on Her, before the modifications, back in the early 60s..during the time of the "quarantine" (Blockade) of Cuba.
I live in NJ and took the 1.5 hour trip to pay my respects to the USS Enterprise nameplate and all those that served aboard her. The last piece of USS Enterprise CV-6 is located at the River Vale Public Library in River Vale, NJ. Touching that piece of Pennsylvania steel for the first time, I felt transported to a far away ocean where boys became men and men became veteran war dogs. It's sad 😔 that there is only that to remember her by. However, I was grateful there was something left of that blessed ship.
How are the lower control arms? You tossed those too?
absolutely awesome..
the Enterprise model is cool I used to drive that ship
marvelous!
Spectacular
Absolutely beautiful model! I wonder how many hundred people worked to build it, and how many thousand man/woman-hours it took.
My father was a TBM pilot in Night Torpedo Squadron 90 on Enterprise as a member on the first ever squadron to fly low level attack missions from carriers at night and in bad weather. He flew the mission mentioned in the video as the first carrier strike on the Japanese home islands on the night of February 17, 1945. His mission that night was to search Tokyo Bay for ships, and if none were found in his assigned sector, his secondary target was an airfield on the Island of Hachijo Jima. Along with his wingman, he attacked the fighter strip with 500 pound bombs and strafed with .50 caliber machine gun fire. Everyone who served on Enterprise said the ship had a soul and was like a living being that the men loved dearly. The Enterprise sank at least 3 of the Japanese carriers that attacked Pearl Harbor.
That's is awesome. Thank you so much for that response. Those like your father are my heroes, and we are indebted to them for what they sacrificed. They are indeed my inspiration to build these great ships. Stay tuned to my channel, our will be documenting some future builds. Again, thank you for that awesome story and to your father for his service to our great nation.
@@boomstick68 Thanks James!! I will subscribe to your channel if I have not already done so. My father gave me the book the Big E, the story of Enterprise's history, in 1964 when I was 14 years old, and I have read it many times since then. But when he gave it to me, all he said was that the chapter about his squadron was called Hunters in The Dark, but never said what part he played. After his untimely death in 1971, I found a box of memorabilia from his WW II days and found his pilot log book. But in the log where it says "comments", there were none, because what his airgroup did was a secret! I then made it a life mission to figure our what he did on Enterprise and what a journey it has been! Me and my two older brothers followed our father and all became pilots. I flew for United for 29 years and currently fly a corporate plane. I know many intimate details about Enterprise and the war in the Pacific and am willing to share what I know with you. Maybe you could use that info for future RUclips videos. Feel free contact me at Jturpin782@aol.com. What Night Airgroup 90 did flying from Enterprise was nothing less than amazing! And being a pilot, I can relate.
My father and especially his rear gunner owe their lives to the USS Enterprise. He was able to land his SBD on Enterprise after his carrier, USS Hornet (CV8) was hit by the Japanese during the battle of Santa Cruz in October of 1942. His gunner had been hit and was wounded by 20mm cannon fire from a Zero after he drop his bomb on the IJN carrier Shokaku. His gunner probably wouldn't have survived if he had to ditch near the Hornet.
very good job greetings from Spain
Impressionante! Uma réplica incrível! 🌟
Incrvel!!🌟
Yes, these old pieces of American history, it would be nice to keep them around forever but the truth is anything that old it takes constant money because of the bottoms resting through. I got to spend a few weeks on the USS ranger and I'm so glad to have those memories. But it too is gone now. Here in Texas are battleship Texas got hauled away from Houston because it had been trying to just flat out sink for probably 20 years now all the bottom was so paper thin they had pumps going keeping the water out every time they fix a place another one would open. A lot of people hated to see it get moved out but most of the population in Houston these days don't have any connection with it and they couldn't keep enough money coming in to do a full restoration. Luckily some group down the coast I forget where came and got it and they are trying to restore it but it won't be in Houston ever again. I did get to go on it and take a lot of photos so before I left. If anyone is interested there's a place in Lufkin college the knife shop on Highway 69. He has a contract with the government and buys sheets of steel off of all the old naval vessels that they're going to scrap and he can make customized for you out of The Middle of whatever shit he has a piece up there. They're not cheap cuz he hand makes them and forges the metal but they are also a part of the history.
Now I want to see the NCC-1701 Enterprise in 1/72 😜
I just painted metal ammo box my brother gave me while he was a plane captain for F-4A fighter plane on Enterprise during Viet Nam. Once said he'd never been so tired an stimulated at the same time as his tour onboard Enterprise!
Brilliant
Hell yes!
