oh yeah, i know the airbrake is wrong and that the super hornet doesnt carry aim120's on the wing tips but i dont care, i just wanted it to look a little different compared to the red rippers hornet (which doesnt have the airbrake, newer mould perhaps??)

Hi kwiky
ooouuuhh ... nice super hornet & superbe weathering ... me love that
Thanks for the useful hints!!

The dragon models are cool in general, but yours are even cooler....
I think it's always nice to add some diorama stuff, pilots or vehicles next to the plane
to realize how big these things are in real live...

here some of my diorama models, some with and some without weathering...

cheers mate

thanks a lot.

yeah I have to admit, I'm just a collector guy, not a patient modeler ... so no clue

Keep up the nice work!

Model.fanatic, I keep coming back to this thread just to look at your very beautiful and cool looking deck dioramas! I am greatly inspired by it as well as kwiky's awesome dios too!
I just received my Dragon F/A-18F "Bounty Hunters" w/the deck pieces yesterday and I will begin to add those lines that kwiky was kind enough to provide a visual-tutorial for us.
Simply awesome!

now all i need to do is find someone who sells these seperately, im ever hopeful of century doing one, maybe made from resin......... well i can dream lol

Fantastic work on the carrier deck kwiky

I have these as well and was thinking of scanning one section of the flight deck and photoshopping the scan to make some additional decking

If it works I'll post some pictures

[kwiky]

that sounds like a great idea, if it works post some up that we can them print off, i could use more deck
