red Dog Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Hey guys, Been a bit away to the dark scale lately with a lot of naval aviation projects Here's the latest off the bench: I converted AMK F-14D to a Bravo of VF-103 (with FighterTown decals and old Hasegawa bits) standing ready on the catapult moments before launch. The carrier deck is completely homemade and is part of a larger project. I really enjoyed building and painting AMK's tomcat and the carrier deck presented a lot of challenges. The biggest one being probably the raised Jet Blast Deflector. Enough reading, here are the pictures: Thanks for looking Gerhard, Uncarina, Out2gtcha and 27 others 28 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg W Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Awesome! Flight deck is superbly done. I remember when you were asking about the JBD some time ago. Great to see the final result. red Dog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pascal Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 That looks GREAT ! Stunning work, flightdeck looks awesome. I'm hearing the opening theme of Top Gun just by looking at your photos. Will you show this dio at a modelling show in Belgium ? Sincerely Pascal red Dog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncarina Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I love it! You really captured the dynamics, from the pilot and rio’s poses to the asymmetric flight controls. Cheers, Tom red Dog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when you were asking about the JBD some time ago. Great to see the final result. Indeed the good thing is that It can be done in 1/32 as well, but I'm a bit concerned with the final size of such a diorama. If I do one day I think I will make it a two piece display base. One with the catapult and the aircraft and another with only the JBD. 20 hours ago, dodgem37 said: Thanks a heap for sharing. pleasure and thanks for the feedback 20 hours ago, MDuv said: I can feel the tension of the moment just looking at the pics. bloody well done! 17 hours ago, Uncarina said: I love it!

easixpedro Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Nice! A few years back I did a scene that included Cat 2 and a Phantom going off the waist...it's massive, even in 1/48, so I know what you're talking about size wise! red Dog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxim61 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 That looks great and I like the weathering also. red Dog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
