Air show "Wings Over Camarillo -2021"/ T-34B Mentor

[kajustas]

Another model I finished is T-34B MENTOR N34FU from the ACADEMY kit in 1:48 scale

The model was made “straight out of the box” for that in an unusual civilian paint scheme referring to the “legendary” VFA-103 Jolly Rogers.

The original aircraft from the family of BUK45/T-34 Mentor airframes was built in 1956, the last military serial number is 140846USN, construction number - BG-180; entered in the civil register under the number N34FU belonging to George E. Watson, Temecula, California .

The model was made from photos available on the web - during the 2021 WINGS OVER CAMARILLO air show.

While working on the model, I decided to embed it on the tarmac of the Camarillo airport - add visitors and models during a Pin-Up style photo shoot (I used 3d print elements for this purpose)

All painted with Bilmodel and Vallejo paints.

I invite you to watch and rate the model ... I hope you will like it ...

That's a great diorama there  well thought out and presented, the atmosphere and "story" of what's going on are great, it really reminds me of similar real events.
