ChristopherC Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Here are some pics of my latest completed model. The F/A-18F and the deck are both from dragon, as are the figures and tow truck. I repositioned all the control surfaces on the F/A-18F and used Fightertown decals. I used decals from Starfighter for the deck markings. Details of the build can be found >>here<<. Any comments welcome. Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Darth Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Wow! Your photo captured the atmosphere very well, like the real thing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChristopherC Posted March 14, 2010 Author Share Posted March 14, 2010 Thanks for all the kind words, glad you guys liked it! It was lots of fun to photograph, the US Navy's website is full of inspiration for photographic angles to try. Fred, all the masking on the jet and the blast deflector was done with tamiya tape. See >here< for some pics. Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
