I leave the small details to the 1/72 scale staff at the 1/72 scale Blackburn factory

Good plan. "Here's what I want. Make it so!"

You do realize you'll now have to build a 1/72nd scale hangar deck .................

.....and you could paint these in the appropriate FAA equivalent colours

I am going to build a small section of flight deck with a lift partially down (or up). Just to make sure I had the folded size right I cut out 2 pieces of cereal packet one to a scale 45 x 22ft for the lift and the other with a gap a scale 14 ft high for the hangar ceiling.

 

[fastmongrel]

On the lift

 

[fastmongrel]

The propeller is a scale 12ft in diameter which I think is a bit big, I have no idea what aircraft it belongs to. I might need to crop the tips.

 

[Crimea_River]

A 12ft prop?! So now you need to make gull wings to raise the nose.

 

[fastmongrel]

I think I should crop the propeller blades back to a scale diameter of 10' 6". I need to remove 3.175mm from each blade, where's me nippers.

These guys look like a japanese boy band performing their dance act.

 

[Wurger]

[Wayne Little]

[fastmongrel]

There that's better a bit less likely to catch the hangar lights
