That's a cracking subject for this G.B.

Very well chosen. You will be able to mount the aircraft on it's wing tip without seeing 'The join'! lol

Remember though we have loads of time so don't rush it and there's certainly no need to worry about being, as you put it, slow.....

Just enjoy the build.

Good luck with it.

Cheers,

Ron

Good start Ian and a top subject. I'm still waiting for the postman to deliver my kit but I reckon three months should be long enough.

Office looks great Ian,shame to spend the time we do on those only to bury them is'nt it lol

 

[jspitza]

LOVE IT!!!!! Great job on all those confusing little switches and dodads.

 

[yak face]

Nice cockpit ian, cheers tony

 

[Gern]

That's off to a good start Ian. Will you be including the whole carrier or just the bit we can see? :lol

Gern

 

[papa 695]

Thanks every one and gern i was going to but could not find a 1/72 scale carrier anywhere any tips ah ah

 

[Gern]

Last I heard, this one was up for sale.

USS Enterprise CVN-65 by Gabriel Suranyi

Failing that, you could also scratch build your own. Mind you, that might be tricky given the time limit!

Gern

 

[papa 695]

I dont know if i ask Ian nicely he may give me an extention on the finnish date ( 20 years ):laughing:

 

[Ian M]

Ian. You have my full permission to go a head with the project. HOWEVER I insist on a full build log and exclusivity to the scale models forum!!!!

That Enterprise is mind blowing isn't it- I have heard a rumor of one in 1/48 scale!!!!

Ian M

 

[papa 695]

:guilty:Thanks Ian i was hoping you would say rules are rules but it may be one for the future

 

[Guest]

Nice work, loving the detail in the cockpit, top marks.

Cheers

Andy

 

[Ian M]

:guilty:Thanks Ian i was hoping you would say rules are rules but it may be one for the future

I only said yes so I can see how its done, I have a couple of 1/48 Seafires and would love to do a Carrier deck section as a base for them.

Have fun. and remember that you only have until September 2031. :laughing:
