Ben SchumacherThank you, Thomas! As the real aircraft was part of CVW-5, it's a map of the area around NAS Atsugi!😉

Patrick HagelsteinWhere did you find the scale plans for that Kitty Hawk deck if I may ask?
29 September 2017, 14:45
iceYou forgot to post the video of the maiden flight. 😉
Stunning - simply stunning!

Ben SchumacherThank you all for you kind comments! Patrick, the deck is based on a free sketchup 3D model which i have corrected using google maps footage of CV-63 in Bremerton. I have made elevator #1 in 32nd scale as well, but more on that later! 🙂

Patrick HagelsteinWhauw! Cool! For a while I'm toying with the idea of putting a VF-154 F-14 next to a VAQ-136 EA-6B on a just arriving elevator but couldn't find decent plans of the #4 elevator, so I just let the idea simmer somewhere. Seeing your diorama has gotten it revamped however.

Ben SchumacherThank you! I will post an album showing the progress on my 32nd scale Kitty Hawk elevator later today.

Alexander GrivonevHoly Crap, that is award winning stuff there, absolutely incredible!

Bernhard SchrockHut ab vor dem Aufwand und erst recht dem Ergebnis! Wenns bei mir losgeht brauche ich nicht in meiner Navy Stehschütte graben: deine Fotos sind WIP-Fotos sind Referenz genug🙂

Patrick Hagelstein🙂 Looks like you're preparing for electronic warfare Bernhard. I can't wait! 😉

Cedric DaumerieHello, Very nice! I have the same project..How did you make de Canopy?

Bryn CrandellOMG! The detail is amazing. So much to look at I stare at one picture for minutes and then go to the next and do the same. The landaing gear really fascinated me.

Scott DuttonWow, every photo shows a work of art in its own right, so much detail. You wouldn't expect this level from any kit let alone scratch built. You are very courageous to attempt it, very patient to complete it and very talented to do so convincingly. This is true modelling at its best. I salute you.

Ben SchumacherThank you all for your kind comments!
@Cedric, the canopies are 3D printed.
@Spanjaard: I have planned to bring my Viking and the RF-8 both of which will be on the contest table. I did not register the Prowler. I may bring it with me, maybe I'll decide to register it on Saturday. I have no table, so the contest is the only possibility for me to display models in Veldhoven.

Power BaiI just finished a A-6E from Trumpeter today, just follow the steps. After look at your kit, then back to what I finished, what I made just a toy !-)

Gary VictoryAwesome...totally awesome. That is one labour of love with some real fantastic attention to detail. Thank you for sharing. Top job Ben. Well done Sir.

Spanjaardin picture 14 it looks like you lasercut the plasticard, am i correct?
5 January 2022, 09:02
Erik LeijdensI second that Spanjaard, what a fantastic piece of model building. Amazing work.
5 January 2022, 09:07
Spanjaardsorry Erik, edited the comment, and it seems i have deleted it. i was saying that it was great to see Ben's work in person, in Veldhoven
5 January 2022, 09:11
Ben SchumacherThe plasticard was lasercut indeed as I did not have access to a CNC mill back in the day. Nowadays, I'd annoy my friend Thomas to mill this kind of parts for me.

Jean-PierreSans voix ... 🤐
C'est MAGNIFIQUE, quel travail ! 😲 😍
Félicitations ! 👏👍
Bon, du coup, je retourne à ma collection de timbres ... 🏃♂️

NeilWOW! Really enjoyed looking at your highly informative/impressive album. Loving that it's a build journey album. Not just a display album of the finished model. Gives modellers like me an insight into your skills... Just an amazing awesome big build sir! 👍

Jean-PierreJe l'ai vu de mes propres yeux ce dimanche 11/12/2022 à l'expo de Putte .
C'est juste démentiel le travail fait et la beauté de ce Prowler EA-6B .
