The kit of REVELL's E-2C was for a long time on my board. But I thought that I would like to built something special out of it. So it was clear to what should happen as the conversion kit by RETRO WINGS appeared!

Very easy to built, fine moulded parts, a very good fitting! The rest of the kit was built straight out of the box. Painting as usual (VALLEJO colors, TAMIYA gloss coating, a thin washing with SCHMINKE artit's colors, again a coat of TAMIYA and at the end REVELL mat coating).

I added a little gimmick by opening the entrance door!

I'll never reach that aim like Dan Linton with his 1:144th scaled "NIMITZ" (Dan, you're the greatest - Chapeau!!!), so I only have a chance to built little dioramas like this: some parking jets on deck of the NIMITZ (there are some more to built!) and actually the Hawkeye beside.

The deck's diorama is a free download from the Century Wings' site:

Maybe it could be helpful for some of you to present your little jets in a more realistic way, without spending lots of hours by drawing and painting a carrier deck by yourself!
