Global Scale Modeller

Here lie the pics for the final reveal of my entry into this Cold War GB - LOTS OF PICS BELOW

Originally this was meant to take just a weekend or two but the kit decided to fight me the whole way but to say I am pleased with the end result would be the understatement of the century - the kits decals are superb and together with a scratchbuilt boom the kit delivers a stunning diorama in my opinion - but hey it's not my opinion that counts .... what do you fine modellers think?

It will now take pride of place on my shelf - which is rather barren and bare as this is the first kit I have completed since joining ISM.

ENJOY:

PS - I know this scene wouldn't happen as they would land to refuel this close to the carrier but I couldn't resist showing a fleet battle group

Better pics:

It was worth the wait absolutely love it
Well done mate

Love it Dan, great little dio setting too, brilliant mate

Excellent ideas well executed.

Nice one Dan, love the scene mate. A battle well won

Outstanding work Dan !
You did a fabulous job mate and I'm deeply impressed

Awesome scene there mate

Cracking job dude.

This really came out well and you overcame plenty of issues with these kits.

Yes.... I like it!
a bow for this amazing build, love the dio!
Real nice models and excellent executed!

Outstanding, truly outstanding. Great imagination and execution

Wow! Great finish mate! Really good idea for the display, I've always wanted to do something like this, now I know it can be done.

That something special, i like it a lot

Awesome build!!!!!!!!!!

btw: The KA-6 was known as "Texico" would nurse a battle damaged or a aircraft w/ mechanical problems back to the carrier if a land based airfield was not an option, it would then be determined to try a arrested landing on deck or for the crew to eject and be picked via the rescue helo,

Thanks, that I did not know - great info/ insight

Lee I've just added some better pics to the top of the first post (don't worry if you've already done the reveal vid )

Excellent work Dan, like that a lot!!!

Followed this build from the start, so I know some of the troubles that you've had, but it has turned out really well. Love the setting and the painting and weathering is excellent - and in 1/144 scale!

top class work!
