A4C on the Big E diorama


Recommended Posts

Hello Gents,

Some may recognize this build from a few years ago when it was first completed.
However, I recently had time to take some new pics using a different camera and a bit more dramatic lighting techniques.

1/48th Hasagawa

Resin cockpit (sorry, can't remember who made it)

Resin carrier deck (also, can't remember manufacture)

Kit-bashed figures (some metal, some plastic, some both)

Scratch-built tow-bar and dolly with drop tank

 

Hope you guys enjoy!

Very nice !! I like the subtle additions to the sides of the wooden base. How'd you do that ?

Drew it on the bare wood with a black Sharpie before staining.

SteveL,

There's always a fine line between aircraft and the supporting cast and equipment. Some

modelers have a difficult time in getting them to balance-out. In this case, it looks like you

nailed-it. I've always enjoyed the "Scooter" - and you did a super job on this one!

Great Scooter. I like the paintjob. The more I look at them, the more I think the Charlie looks the best. Nose isn't as long as Echo, or short as Bravo. A-4C nose fits the lines of this jet the best.
