Red Dog Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Latest mammoth project was a US Navy AAR diorama during desert storm. Both models are Trumpeter with lots of aftermarkets and both have dedicated WIP post on my blog. The A-7E was posted here before if I remember well. The diorama is about 1m20 long and quite hard to display and photograph (call me crazy :) ) Some shots of the Intruder: Some shots of the Corsair: and a final picture: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wafu Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) Wow, outstanding. I’ve just finished my 1/32 Intruder Tanker conversion, loved the whole build. https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235068244-132-trumpeter-intruder-ka-6d-conversion/ A great way to show both models, the basket is just awesome. Well done sir. Edited February 20, 2020 by Wafu Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rocketdrvr Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Absolutely Stunning!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tapchan Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Excellent! For a longer period of time I was thinking of KA-6D + F-14 refueling diorama. Your looks awesome. Photographs don't show it (as you said), they seem typical 1/48s from first 2 photos at least. When you come closer it becomes evident this detail can't be achieved in 1/48.

Whiskey Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Dude you are a refueling diorama depiction machine! I've always loved your Rafale set up and now you have this!!! I agree with Tapchan that the only thing better would be a Tomcat. Excellent work Reddog! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Underdog Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Amazing, if I didn't know they were models - in some photos they look like the "Real-deal." Excellent presentation, the models are nicely weathered and accomplished... well done! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crackerjazz Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 That must be a monster-size display. I'll never tire of looking at those ultra-realistic pics. You're an amazing modeler and weathering master, Red Dog! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Janissary Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Awesome! Do you have a link for the A-6 build progress? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crackerjazz Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Just saw his build thread on LSP -- simply mindblowing. https://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?/topic/67938-completed-desert-storm-air-to-air-refuelling-ka-6da-7e/page/11/ Really admire your imagination and spunk, Red Dog. And bravery, too -- such a project is definitely not for the faint of heart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vaison Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Hi, Your build is really amazing, and seems to be (realy) enormous !! I realy enjoy your work 👍 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Wow such an inspirational display. I always wanted to do this but I think I have more modest goals and planning something in 1/144. I really like your basket and I think it is even better considering it is in 1/32nd. I will now have to go to your blog and see how you did this amazing work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aircommando130 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 That is awesome! A lot of gas was passed that way during Desert Storm! Both aircraft are awesome...crew looks very real and the drogue looks super real! Great job on everything! Cheers...Ron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
