Completely agree - seeing everyone's work definitely gave me more ideas on how to improve my skills! 😃

Thanks Mr Kames, Guy. I hope to make the carrier deck more realistic later with tire marks and all. Have to figure out how to adapt some 1/72 figures for the air deck!

Very nice so far. 👍
The deck, the steam catapult and the deflector are still too clean.

If you want to do it in detail, remember that the position of the afterburner nozzle fits your scenario.

I had a lot of challenges trying to get the deck color when I did this - I definitely airbrushed the deck too clean and definitely have to gray it up, and add tire marks.

Thanks for the video link Shar! I'll use this as a reference and go back and give it another go. I'll post another build with the improved catapult later.

The other part that really bothered me was the lack of 1/72 deck crew…. Anyone have any recommendations?

Very Nice! I can almost hear the jet noise and sense the frenetic flight deck.
I agree with Shar; everything is too clean, but I see that you may grim it up a bit 👍

Hobby Search and Plaza Japan both have the Fujimi 1/72 US Navy Flight Deck Crew for a reasonable price if you don't mind the shipping $$$

I have my eye on this myself.

Alternatively scalemate Dutch has a couple for sale in their collection - Dutch

Thanks guys! I'll work at griming it up after I do a palate cleanser build. 😀

Finally got a chance to see that video Shar posted. I could watch that all take offs and landings all day... very cool 👍

Hello CaptGPF.
yes, I know the problem of a lack of deck crew all too well. Especially in a scale of 1:72 but also 1:48 but 1:72 is really difficult.
For pilots, you can find a lot at PJ Production, I think their figures are great.
Otherwise I only have the set from Italeri for the deck. NATO Pilots and Ground Crews (Italeri 1246, 1:72)
If you ever need some for 1:48, there are some sets from Hasegawa - you don't have to pay high prices for individual or mini sets.

Great job. The catapult hook, isn't it backwards?
3 March, 09:22
CaptGPF
LOL! The catapult hook is indeed backwards! 😜. I'll repost the photo once I grime up the deck and put the hook the right way. 😀

Shar, the Hasegawa set for the 1/48 USAF pilot set is nice and detailed, but the USN molding isn't so good. Thanks everyone for the good feedback - will try my hand o the Italeri or Fujimi kits if I can find them!

Beautiful build especially in 1/72 scale.

Maybe a bit late, but I love the Reedoak figures. They have deck personell. Quality is speckless.
17 April, 12:07
CaptGPF
Thanks JW / Michael!

I'll check out Reedoak and see. The Fujimi look interesting, but I'd like to see if there are any with better features - yeah, 1/72 is really small, but I'd like some details on them. 😀

Hello CaptGPF.
ResKit recently released some very nice looking aircraft carrier figures in 1:72 and 1:48 too. If they are even half as good as their afterburner nozzles, landing gear, etc. then they will be top. Take a look there:
Yellow jersey (Right positio..t) (ResKit RSF72-0017, 1:72)
Yellow jersey (Left position..t) (ResKit RSF72-0016, 1:72)

Thanks Shar! That solves my "staffing problem"😀

I saw those figures in person yetsterday and they look very fine. The printing supports shouldn't be difficult to remove either.

Just in time for the figures, I'll take a seat

Album info

Carried deck is the Italeri 1/72 carrier deck - Carrier deck section (Italeri 1326, 1:72)
It took me more time to get the deck done because of the excessive pin marks.
I had fit issues with the nose, so gotta work on that gap, and weathering, and a myriad of other things to get up to the standard people are at in this forum! ?
