I JUST finished mine! ..... Dang.

Here's my entery in the Carrier aircraft Group Build. For the good of the air group I didn't finish one plane by it's self, so it's a wip.

This is Carrier Air Group 101(CAG 101) that was aboard the USS Boxer during the Korean War.

You can see the stages of painting the a/c in the picture.

1:I painted the a/c interior green around the cockpit area. (Panthers)
2: I painted the a/c Sea Blue (helicopters)
3: I painted the a/c Dark Sea Blue. (Skyraider & Corsairs)

O.k. This is my FIRST attempt at 1/350 aircraft. This is one of many Trumpy aircraft to eventually put on the flight deck of my Trumpy Hornet (which at the rate I build may never get started or finished). I began this on Tuesday and obviously have not finished, but don't have time to finish by tonight. The last pic includes a Dragon 1/700 OS2U for the Arizona I posted earlier, just for comparison. This one's not so good, but I learned some and so the next will be better...How many do I have to build for the Hornet at Midway?

Very nice deck vehicle, now let's see the carrier itself :big_grin:

No one wants to see my 1/350 planes, but I did build an aircraft carrier today!

I wish I could have used the old link system, the suspense would have been great.

Here's one I just finished yesterday: Tamiya's 350th I-400's Seiran just before launch from catapult.

I have some Trumpy aircraft, Starfighter decals and GMM etch; I figure I will make one of the yellow-winged biplanes from the '30s, or one of the Arsenal Resin ones from the Béarn kit. I'll decide tomorrow. :wave_1:

So what ya'll building? :cool_1:

I'm in!

... ye know Avery-
thats comes with getting old :big_grin:

Oooops, sorry for misreading the title. :smallsmile:

Too bad I finished my Rafale M on wednesday, and it is oversized, I would have enjoyed taking part to this GB, but here's a photo :

It's the Revell kit, in 1/144 scale, out of the box. Airbrushed with humbrol enamels, display base made of balsa.

This seems to be a consistent problem :heh:

Tom, you need to re-read the thread, it's to build a carrier [i]aircraft[/i], not a whole carrier...

John

It's far too short. Building a carrier in nine days reminds me of when I started modeling : one carrier per week with a thick coat of paint ! :big_grin:
I would have enjoyed this GB, provided it had been far longer.

:thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1:

Avery, count me in, 1/700

Happy modeling

John

Guido,

I think he's talking about building a carrier [i]aircraft[/i], not a whole carrier... :big_grin:
