USS Forrestal - |AIRFIX 1/600 scale
This was a kit that was originally made for me by my Dad. I've wanted to replace it with another for a while. I finally got the chance after I won this at auction on eBay...
Early days into the project, HMS Victorious sneaks into shot...
There was a lot of loose bits in the (thankfully sealed) bag...
A nervy moment as the first decals go on.. They are 30 years old, after all...
An aerial view demonstrating the awesome size of these vessels - HMS Victorious wasn't exactly a small ship.....!!!
Painting the flight deck details with the benefit of Tamiya masking tape: A luxury not available to my Dad when he made it - he had to rely on a very steady hand and a small bristly stick...
Lovely job..
The flight deck decals go on...
Now for the airgroup...
The deck starts to fill up..
She joins the Airfix fleet!!!
Completed!
