First a big congratulations for the superb diorama, model and figures!
Just like Michael I had the same question about scale and blast deflectors, since I also have a similar diorama planed in 1:72.

I like the weathering you applied to the deck overall, including blast deflectors. Too bad you still can't bookmark someone else's projects directly on scalemates to use yours as reference in half a year or more.

In picture 4 you really have a Top Gun (1) vibe, with the pilot figure looking a bit like a young Tom Cruise.

Thank you very much Marius. I also wish you happy building. I guess the Italieri 1:72 kit is much more of a challange then the one i used.

The figures are defentily made to look like Tom Cruise, they come also with the proper decals for the helmet: F-14 Tomcat Crew Set, 1980's..(R2 Miniatures R08-48, 1:48)

With the bookmark, yeha, that doesn't work on scalemates. But the "good" news is, i've published much more then just the pictures. You can check the full build video, including instructions which colors and techniques i used on my YouTube channel:
