CAT2 launch - F-14B AMK 1/48

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:

Awesome! Flight deck is superbly done.  

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.

I love it!  You really captured the dynamics, from the pilot and rio’s poses to the asymmetric flight controls.

That looks GREAT ! Stunning work, flightdeck looks awesome. I'm hearing the opening theme of Top Gun just by looking at your photos.

 

Thank you very much gents.
With such comments I know my goal has been reached.
