Ok last shots...

These show the few simple enhancements/additions made to the kit ...

The stretched sprue Antenna, canopy spring assembly, the fuel drain outlet and Aerial, The Pitot tube (2 sizes of Brass tubing) and the photo-etch seat belts.

Great shots Wayne!

I realise you attach all the 'vunerable' pieces after you apply the decals but is there anything you use to hold the plane when say you have a hard area on the model to get to?

 

[Wayne Little]

Nah mate, just my hands or it sits on the undercarriage, you just need to get the sequence right to avoid problems....bit of forward thinking needed....

 

[Heinz]

Logical, I like it

Fantastic is not a strong enough description!

Ok downsizing somewhat........to 1/144 scale.

Saw this one and thought I would give it a go, it is/was a Dragon release titled 'F-14 on carrier Deck'.

I Built this in early 2001, it was entered in the Small scale categories at the Melbourne Expo and Adelaide Competition, scoring First Place at both events.

Still love it!

 

[Airframes]

Very impressive for such a small scale. The figures must be tiny!

[Wildcat]

Wayne you are awesome, my friend.

One last question about your Bf-109... did you use a hypodermic needle for the pitot probe? Surely you didn't drill that.

And the F-14D in 1/144th is spectacular. Couple of questions for you. Do you wish you had any "mulligans" with respect to your deck handlers and equipment now that you have had 7 years to reflect carrier operations, hand signaling, etc?

I want some closeups. For 1/144th I am amazed at the deckhandler and equipment paintjobs. Just wonderful.

The Pitot tube is made up of 2 sizes of fine Brass rod, one inside the other.

I assume you mean possible errors in the positions or signaling poses?

I will do some close up shots as requested.

Wow I love the F 14!

I noticed you even have the visor on the pilots helmet painted!
