...off the Vega rabbit hole....looking at the period photo, it is clear the decals are just plain wrong for this airplane. So, it has become a decal project now....anyone where to find that Alaska Airways Logo?

Got an option to scan the decals, correct the color and print it out again?

Yes, scanning the decals was an option but looking closely at the kit decals shows they tried to make them fancier than the real aircraft and won't be of much use. It is a simple enough masking job and paint will be used and a few of the kit decals.

folks...it was time to check the side of the fuselage to see what size the logo was....and it became clear the kits setup for the struts wasn't quite right and it looks like the little set of stairs in the kit is more like a ladder all the way to the float ....in all....a good look at the actual airplane is order before too many commitments are made...see airplane archive photo....

.....the Vega is a history challenge because the more u see the more the kits struts make some historical sense...the kit is an amalgam of various stage and varieties of Vegas...and there are many....actually found a place in Alaska that will sell you floats and a detailed description of how it attached to a Vega or Vegas....if it ever arrives, it will get a photo here for sure...thank you, as always...

Great work. The decals look fantastic. Nice to see interesting, obscure subjects being built.

You might want to give that a light sanding. There is a bit of orange pealing and the decals are pretty thick. Just test it before going crazy. It looks really good. This will be a great addition to your collection.

i'd be terrified to touch that finish...the decals are home printed...perhaps that means a thicker result?
this one will not be a complete success in any case because of the gold paint switch...that will be more obvious than any surface detail...it will still be fun to look at....
thanks again....

Yes, I wish they made printer decal paper that wasn't so damn thick. The last time I used some I had to layer a lot of clear lacquer on the model to get things even and do some light sanding. They are really tricky to get flat. Your model looks great as it is. If you're not comfortable with the extra work just leave it.

The difference in gold could be worked around if you printed the flag on white decal paper and the Alaska Coastal on clear decal paper. That way you could paint the gold circle and layer the decals. But the original plane looks like it matches your decal and the markings seem to be yellow rather than gold. However these are inconsequential details that rivet counters look at.

It took a while for me to capture the scene and and bring it together with True Lies 😄! Perfectly done and off the beaten track!

That is just great! 😂
(Have you tried closing the aperture and increasing exposure time for a better depth of field? Tripod recommended)

Cool idea! Schwarzenegger is perfectly depicted in 1:72. Even his facial expression is appropriate. Great!!!

July 15th 1994: A United States Marine Corps AV-8B V/STOL Harrier descended below altitude minimums over a built up area, and in clear visual atmospheric conditions - pilot Harry Tasker - (computer salesman), failed to maintain minimal separation from an obstacle, allowing the tail of his aircraft to come in contact with a construction crane in downtown Miami. The crane's presence was properly published in NOTAMS for the Miami Florida area at the time of the incident.
Brilliant diorama!

Yes, my first time to try forced perspective diorama. I Also prepared two Akagi, 1:700 and 1:2000. Will try to finish by this weekend.

you could actually have all of this in a box, with a small window that would allow to see only the right perspective. a show stopper in any modelling event!

Definitely impressive! I don't know which is more impressive - the forced perspective, the insane painting of the small aircraft, the beautiful water and explosive effects, or the overall orchestration! This is definitely the "Neuling" of air and sea dioramas!

Thank you everyone!
@Mr D, skyhawk SBD kit is very good, also includes decal for different choices and painting marks. The only thing is there is no decal for dashboard.
