Arniec Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) I think I will build a 1/48 Hasegawa F-8 crusader for this, but I have just bought the Conversion set of cutting edge to backdate it to a earlier version than the F-8E. I found this set after I made my own nose for a earlier version. Cheers, Edited March 23, 2013 by Arniec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnobiz Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Hehe I found my (hopeful) subject I recently gave a go at the Revell 1/72 F-16 (Don't yell yet) and I found it amazing so I plan to build this as a diorama: Unloved and unwanted, stored on the ramp par Jerry Gunner, sur Flickr Now the question: It reads "NAVY" on the side does it not? Well actually it doesn't because of the gaffer tape. Darn. Hope it's OK though Arnaud 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it's OK though Arnaud if it is a naval unit then why not - OR build a naval f-16 and snow it up (bit difficult at Miramar tho - perhaps "on-ops".....

arnobiz Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Thanks Does the base count in the max. 25% head start rule? I might have a hard time finishing the complete diorama in 3 months... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnobiz Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Cool thanks The base will however wait until the end of the swing wing GB if I want to have a chance to complete my Tomcat. So many things to build, so little time... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theplasticsurgeon Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Last weekend I acquired the new Italeri Carrier deck section kit. Undoubtedly US Navy as no-one else operates those sort of catapults - but has anyone been able to identify which ship it's based on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo the Magnificent Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I've decided. I think... Originally I intended to go totally mainstream. I was going to build an F-8 and an F9F-2 but now I've changed my mind. The F9F-2 might still get built in the Splendid Cats GB. For this GB I shall be building three models - all of them trainers. One of them may be a bit of an outrageous choice. It's something which wouldn't ordinarily be associated with the US Navy but I can assure you it has "NAVY" emblazoned across the fuselage. I hope that's suitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
