1/144 Airwing 8 FCD (part 1)

Gallery Article by Duncan on July 20 2010

 

Hi there.  Here is my small scale flightdeck diorama from Dragon with some of the a/c of CVW8 period 1979.  I did made small changes with Revell's E2 Hawkeye which is a C-model so I converted the shape to the early A-version which had a different nose (and left the aircooler for what is was).

Next is the Garuda EA-6B Prowler (from Dragon) which had some fit issues with the canopy/fuselage.  I sprayed the insides with clear yellow mixed with gold paint, finished the windshield frame later which is not yet visible on the picture.

Then the Dragon F-14A from VF-84 which still needs the gear door insides painted red ;) but not to hurry I also have a RF-8G and A-7E to build so all eazygoing.  The elco flattop cruiser ' Gatsby' is scale 1/350 and a-still in-progress CVN68.  Thanks for looking and happy modelling to all of you!
