hpetiers Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 hello to all model aircraft builders, this is not exactly a large scale plane, but judging by the time it took to complete it, I might as well have built it in 1:32. Anyway this project started as a flight deck diorama which is nowhere near finished, but at least I managed to complete my E-2C Hawkeye on the catapult of the USS Dwight D Eisenhower of 2009. The model is from Revell in 1:144, modifications are 3D printed propellers and crew, dropped flaps and custom made decals. I will not bore you with all the in progress pics (which used to be on photo bucket, you know what happened with those...), here is the result of more than 2 years on and off work. Hope you enjoy it!

Kagemusha Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 The main thing is, you have a superb model, which you should be very pleased with. Photobucket has changed again, you should be able to access and post your photographs for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pilots have been made in CAD and I had them 3D printed by Shapeways. I made a bunch of them. Takes more time to paint than to design! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
