US Aircraft carrier deck various dimensions request
robertandy replied to red Dog's topic in General Discussion
If you know which boat and year (or era) you specifically want I can ask over on the Flight Deck Veteran's Group on FB, someone there might know. -

Really it depends. I don't have the dimensions, but having served on 7 different carriers over 26 years it varies depending on class. Independence were different than Constellations, were different from the Nimitz class I served on HTH Rob -

Maybe I will try Imgur, I had a bad taste left in my mouth with 2nd party sites after the whole photobucket deal. Ok, I signed up, but have NO idea how to use it. -

Lets try again file:///Users/robertanderson/Desktop/DSC00584.jpeg Obviously I'm not bright enough. I can do Facebook, Hyperscale and whatnot, just can't figure this out. -

Just delete this, y'all have made it way to hard to post pictures here. -
Enjoyed this build pretty well. I never saw the "fatal" windscreen width flaw, sorry, I just don't see it. Aerobonus USAF pilot and seat converted to a Naval Aviator, Eduard Mk-82 snakes, CAM decals, brass cannons though I can't remember which brand. DSC00584.jpeg

My wife just sent me a text "Winner, winner Tamiya box" She raised her eyebrows a bit when I told her I had ordered one, but she's familiar enough with things to know $99 shipped is a deal!

Thanks everyone, Michael I got the prop from a fellow over on Hyperscale, I am not sure what kit it is from, possibly the Hasegawa Hellcat. -

Yes Kevin, please do! And thank you! -
Well here she is, my interpretation of Big Jim Streig's #3. I decided not to go with red surrounds as I feel the evidence is stronger that they were painted over by the time they got to the Solomon's. I do however believe that most if not all the original aircraft that arrived at Ondongo, were showing red through the blue that had been painted over them. I got some of my photos a little too blue when editing them, so know the ones that are more subdued capture the color better. I used Vector cowl, Barracuda wheels, Eduard fabric seat belts, Eagle Edition, Techmod (From the AJ press book) and kit decals. Rob

Thanks guys, the fit of this kit is amazing. I thought the Mustang fit well, the corsair fit is just crazy good! Tamiya did mystify me with no wing guns, not eve barrels. I know you won't see much, but just holes? Also the wheels/tires leave something to be desired so I bought the Barracuda resin smooth tread ones, for MG barrels I bought a set quick boost .50 cal barrels. They are meant for the HK models B-17, but for what you will see through the holes in the front of the wing I think they will work.
