Nice assembly line! The helo wake is a really, nice touch! Do you make a spinning helo rotor? How do you do that? Got any close ups of the helo rotor? I've been thinking about that for my Spruance model. I also have in mind to make a 1/350 PBM-5 seaplane dio and portray the props as turning.

You guys will eventually entice me into making a CV, soon enough, once that Nektarios and I can come to an agreement on his fee for assembling and painting the aircraft for me.

Just kidding!

Hi Carl,
The a/c are not finished yet, i am the same as you with regards to making a/c, my airwings are back logging, i have to get into it someday soon, with regards to the rotors/props, i will use very thin plastic sheet or celophane same diameter as the Rotors/props lightly sand in circles and draw in the blades as if they were moving.

Happy modeling

John

I agree as long as i toss the coin.

I ll wait for HP to release the 1970s version of CVA-42 in resin. I believe they will produce it cause it has small differences from the 1957 version they produce now.
