350 Enterprise hanger bay

I want desperately to start on this kit, but would like to add in details of hanger bay and light it up. Anyone done this yet?

Here is a nice build on Model Warships.

White Ensign Models makes a nice photoetch set for it. See a review here.

thanks for this information. It will be a great help and has given me some new objectives.

The Detail and Scale book on Enterprise has a bunch of good hanger bay shots, if you can find a copy. Also, there’s a guy who sells a cd with about 100 pictures he took during a public showing. I think it was $15.00 US. Here’s his address if you’re interested.

This is something I’ve been working on on and off since Christmas. If I can figure out how to post pictures, I’ll get a few up. I’d love to see how you’re going about too, if you can get some pictures up.

I have been looking without success for a plan of the hangar deck. For some reason every plan set of the Enterprise does not come with the hangar deck.

I see how to make a cutout hangar deck. However, I don’t have the details as to where the bulkheads go and exactly where the dividing doors go.
