Jennings Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Cool! Don't forget the catapult though :) That one will definitely be worth getting! Any images of the mechanism in the back of the JBD?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cvnf14p3ordy Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I still have my Verlinden 1/72 scale version, it's lasted me a LONG time. A 1/48 scale base would make things even better! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MarkW Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I wonder how they did on the plumbing...really need a rear view. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

designfriemel Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Hi Raymond, Great effort! I appreciate this VERY much. I have thought a lot about how to build a 1/48 Nimitz deck section: link In my opinion it would be a good idea to separate the JDB as well as the launch/catapult section from the base plate. This way the builder can use those parts for his own (differently sized) base plate without cutting/butchering the kit. In other words the kit would be more "flexible" as far as the size of the base plate is concerned. You have announced this as a full plastic kit, but i would also like to know if the tie-downs will be engraved or separate PE parts. again: fantastic stuff - you guys rock! rg Mart Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 A truly cool touch would be to make this large enough to include that open pit where the "shooter" sits. Have no idea how big that would make the overall kit though. That and a few 1/48th swabbies to populate the deck, one of which would have to be in the obligatory launch position of pointing forward and touching the deck. Agreed, Kinetic is fast becoming my favorite for having the 'nads to release something beside more WW2 Spitfires / Bf-109's / FW-190 (YAWNNNN). Gotta give props to Eduard too, they are on my short list due to high quality. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

petebuilt Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Wondering if this is the same item or a different one? http://www.profiline-models.com/Jet-Blast-Deflector.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vodnik Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 (edited) Wondering if this is the same item or a different one? http://www.profiline-models.com/Jet-Blast-Deflector.html Completely different. Kinetic one will be all styrene (possibly with some PE parts), while Profiline is wood, resin, plastic and PE. Edited May 16, 2011 by Vodnik Quote Link to post Share on other sites

spang Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Hi Raymond, Great News Perfect for Hawkeye or Greyhound Cheers Patrice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
I.Martin Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Excellent news!!.It sounds great,now what we need is a company ready to launch good detailed deck crew figures to complete the scene. Thanks Raymond. I.Martin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tomcat RIO Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 (edited) hmm this will look perfect with a f-14/e-2c/f-4j with a roaring noise(supplied by modeller's vocals), some cotton wool to simulate catapult steam. you've made one sale already from me! any hope though of a 1/72 version though? It would fill up another gap in the market, since the verlinden one is long out of production, but knowing kinetic doesn't exactly make any 1/72 Navy jets.. well... Also with the recent nice tractors from your company, we are also in need of a full complement of crew figures for these dioramas - the hasegawa and fujimi have been around for 30 years?at least, in need of fresh figures for the latest uniforms and gear outfits..

Yes, 1/72 is one the road. For GSE, we will have a 1/48 EPU as well as 550DN (FOD cleaner) soon. The carrier deck will include 4 figures for catapult launch. More 1/48 USN figures will be delivered. With different dioramas product. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dsmith Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I don't know if you all have thought about this, but it would also be really neat if you guys offered different carrier deck sets. I was thinking maybe just a carrier deck section where AC would be parked, and maybe an elevator, etc.. Then, if you wanted to get really creative, you could make it so that someone could combine the different sets to make "bigger" sets. Just a thought. I would be interested in a couple.
