1:44 scale USS Kitty Hawk Super Aircraft Carrier

Filmed at Wings & Wheels Model Spectacular in the UK. I was just knocked out by the detail on this model and its operational features. 1:44 scale with moving lifts, launch ramps, helicopter and radio masts.

Really nice model, but I think nearer 1:144. 1:44 would be about 23 feet long.
