Swashplate Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I built my first aircraft base for my F-18. I ended up hating the original version because of all the inaccuracies. I ended up completely starting over. This is what it looks like in its current version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A-10 LOADER Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Nice job on both the model and the base. The base really adds to the overall display. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joel_W Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Now that's an impressive diorama. Outstanding build, and the base sure kicks it up a few notches. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AMS3USN Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Great looking display! I have a few constructional critiques. 1) VMFA-533 is not a Carrier deployable squadron. The USMC tends to forward deploy all their "D" A/C. They will go onboard for CARQUAL but that is about it. 2) Your A/C Director (Yellow Shirt) is in the wrong place. This is clearly staged on the Waist Cats and is part of FLY 2, not FLY 1. 3) Weathering. After just a few weeks of blue water ops the entire AirWing will show obvious wear and tear and unless the MO is a short timer or doesn't care, he'll have the PCs out there wiping birds down all the time. The good stuff?! Great deck detail and texture in the nonskid. Fantastic detail on the deck crew. Overall a great looking jet! Well Done!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Swashplate Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 Thanks AMS3USN for your feedback. It is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your service too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
