Orion Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 (edited) Modelers, Grumman Tracker S-2A in Royal Netherlands Navy service, on board the deck of the light aircraft carrier "Karel Doorman" The crew of four is from designer Hugo Petiers. Two pilots and two operators. In these days, the crew in the cockpit consisted out of officers and SNCO's. One of the caps has some gold, this is the Commander Air group. Next time, the Lockheed Neptune with a seven man crew. Enjoy, Orion. Edited June 19, 2016 by Orion 37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rholland Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Very nicely done, especially the folded wings. Did you rescribe? Hard to tell from the pics. Richard in NZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 Dear Friends, Thanks for the positive comments. Always appreciated. No, the model was not rescribed. To my knowledge not necessary in this scale. If the construction works out oké. I go for the spray boot. The stash is looking down on me, on to the next one. At this moment the C-31A / F-27 Fokker Friendship in service by the US.Army Highest Regards to all, Dirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark4700 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Wow. There's a lot going on there. Excellent finish and very well presented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBaron Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Great stuff Orion. Both model and diorama are equally impressive. At the risk of sounding like a pervert, your use of chains is a perfect detail. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
