Well.... I wish you success !

you might need something like this to recreate some of the inner structure !

looking forward to your updates...

It's on the deck so I'm not sure you can call that a failed landing!

But good luck, I'll be watching this one. :pop:

Great idea navy planes always have a history of bad landing this should be nice

That looks like a great idea
A bit of a challenge i think as the internals will be exposed but very nice if it works out

Ouch! Looks like that could hurt and end badly for more than just the pilot! Good luck with the build! :) :thumb1:

Update 1
Thanks for all the comments and support guys!

So starts the build,

First its off with the tail :D

Image

Then I thinned out the plastic

Image

and then started bending it and cutting off parts

Image

Image

Image

Image

and here is the built up cockpit

Image

Image

Image

and the built up undercarriage

Image

Back to the body, I built up the ribbing using some styrene

Image

Image

Image

Image

and here is the painted cockpit

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

and here it is with the wings

Image

Big gaps

Image

Image

engine

Image

Image

So stay tuned :cheers2:

I got to this a little too late. I was going to suggest making sure there is a little brown spot in the seat for authenticity! Looks a fantastic job so far, keep it up! :th:

Great job! :bow:: It's gonna look fantastic. How are you planning the base/diorama? I mean it will probably be a bit tricky to get the aircraft into that kind of posing and get the flying arresting cables there aswell. Good luck! :cheers2:

Looks cool with the decking detail added

In the real life situation, did the tail hook catch the edge of the carrier instead of the wire and rip off the tail OR did the tail section just fatigue and let go from the otherwise good landing???
Does this happen often???
Interesting subject

Thanks!

By the looks of it he came in too fast and the tail couldn't take it when it hit the arrester cable. I'm not sure if it happened often :thumb2:
