Nektarios-haven't heard from John lately. He posted on Steelnavy on the 5th, so he's probably Ok. Just busy perhaps.

Some photos of CVW-8 2006 Last Tomcat ride. I used the CVW-8 2001 Starfighter decals set plus the decals for the F-14s included in the CVN-71 Trumpeter kit.

Very nice work Nektarios .
I has begin my CVN 71 too ,

best regards

Some photos of CVN-71 with CVW-8 onboard.

and the hits keep coming...........

Outstanding!!

Hey all,

WOW, what great work. I am done with my semester and am about to start my internship this week. After viewing the recent posts of the CVN 71, I finally broke down and purchased the Trumpeter Kit as well as the RoG Enterprise (which is disapointing compared to the Trumpeter kit).

I just am about to finish the LCC 20 Mount Whitney. I will post images soon.

Thank you John it has been a lot of time since you last posted. here are some more pics of CVN-71.

















Will you build the RoG CVN-65 as 1974 First Tomcat cruise and CVN-71 one as the Last Tomcat cruise ???

I did not think of that, originally I wanted to do the CVN-65 modernized. It will take a lot of cutting and detailing. I have not been really able to post because of school. I took on extra classes this semester and my fall will be the same. This summer is my internship, which should let me post and build throughout the summer. Then December I finishes and will be able to model again.

The CVN-71 will be my first true carrier so that will be fun. I also need to continue working on my Cimmaron which I am just starting as I finish my LCC-20. Your Cimmaron came out great!

Here are some pics of works in progress of the LCC-20,

Looks very good so far John. I can t wait to see it finished

Some photos of AGB-5002. Still needs PE nets. Hopefully i ll get lots of PE sets when i ll visit NNT shop with a friend on June 19th.

Thanks John. I ll probably place a JMSDF Seaking on the flight deck.

I recently read on another board that DML will produce a CV-34 kit so i have started building its airwing.

Spads looking good. That's goin to cost me a lot of money in 1/350.

MOney is always a problem in larger scales that s why i love 1/700. If a 1/700 carrier costs with all aftermarket sets around 150 to 200 euros i can imagine how much it would cost in 1/350.

Nektarios your aircraft look very good

Spads rock.
