A Place to put your 1/72 Warbird!

[Njaco]

Caught this model in a recent Model mag and was amazed!

USS Sangamon (ACV-26/CVE-26) Special Feature

28 1/72 aircraft!

437 crew!

9' 4" long!

5+ years!

AMAZING!!!!

I love how he did the water effect!

 

[Catch22]

Yeah, I've seen pictures of that before. Amazing! ALL of it is scratchbuilt, even the planes, if I remember correctly.

 

[Wurger]

Great job there.

Bleedin' Nora!! Absolutely stunning!
Years ago, when the Royal Navy were still using F4 Phantoms, they had a touring display with a 1/72nd scale carrier and Phantoms, but it was only the flight deck and 'Island'. I thought that was impressive, but this model is just overwhelming - fantastic stuff!

I don't think the aircraft are scratchbuilt Cory, the Hellcats appear to be the Italeri kit (now released by Revell).

Great work though!!!!!

 

[Wildcat]

Absolutely amazing!!

Bet he's divorced! I saw this before, it's an amazing piece of work.

 

[Wayne Little]

It is fantastic isn't it!

 

[Gnomey]

Fantastic piece of work. The water effect is excellent as is the rest of it.

I don't think the aircraft are scratchbuilt Cory, the Hellcats appear to be the Italeri kit (now released by Revell).

Great work though!!!!!

Yeah, I would think you would have needed to use kits, must've remembered wrong.

Think that I posted a 1/48 USS Coral Sea somewhere here on the forum...

 

[Lucky13]

Here she is! A 1/48 USS Coral Sea CV-43. 1/72? Hmmpf!

 

[Njaco]

Accordong to the mag I have....

The Hellcats are Italeri with resin cast parts for the wing-fold mechanisms.
The Avengers are Academy.

The 437 figures are Hecker&Goros, Preiser, Airfix/Heller, Revell and Mack Brown - 80% cut to custom poses.

He taught himself how to photoetch.

and he's still married!

 

[Lucky13]

Still "only" 1/72 though!

 

[Airframes]

That 1/48th carrier must be bl**dy ginormous!!

 

[Lucky13]

Well she was 295m and 41m, sooo......

 

[Wayne Little]

Big B!tch...that's for sure!
