The E-2C Hawkeye early warning and control aircraft are done except for decals which will be added later.
Next on the To Do list will be 2 or 3 V-22 Osprey aircraft used for cargo and personnel transport.
After the Osprey's are done, then it'll be time to work on all the flight deck vehicles.


Modeling isn't just about how good the gluing or painting, etc. looks. It's also about how creative and imaginative you can be with a subject.
My modeling philosophy is: Don't build what everyone else has done. Build instead what nobody has seen or done before.

Nice! I would have thought that the E-2's would have had the multi-blade Scimitar like props though. I take it that availability of them and ability to make them got in the way.

Gondor's Modelling Rule Number Three: Everything will fit perfectly untill you apply glue...

I know it's in a book I have around here somewhere....

What I built are the older E-2C's. The newer E-2D's are the ones with the 8-bladed props you are talking about. If I wanted E-2D's, I'd have to buy them from 3D-Wild, but I don't have the money for that. So I'm stuck with using the older type aircraft. To the best of my knowledge, I don't think Trumpeter makes E-2D's.

Very nice. For sure some of those modern props would be a better fit for a modern carrier, but half the people wouldn't know anyway.
CANADA KICKS arse !!!!
