Another little bundle of joy to show. I like this scale. Kit is OOB, fit was pretty good all around. Chris

I have this kit and it is on my “to do” list this year, from VAW-123, the Screwtops. How was this kit as far as any fit issues or decal gotchas? Doing the radome decal in 1/700 wasn’t too Godawful … I’m thinking that 1/144 is going to be just a tad more challenging. The other thing for me is the props. For the time period I want to model, they had upgraded to the 8-bladed ones, and as far as I know there isn’t an aftermarket kit for that:

RetroWings has you covered. If I get another E-2C I might grab some of these as well. That’s a lot of blades.

You are a lifesaver … I was looking forward to carving ALL of the blades out of styrene!

Came out very nice! Have never built a kit in that scale.

You should try it, not too bad. I just toss on the good ole 1.25x reading glasses and go to town. Sure is great for shelf space also. WWII are pretty small though, I haven’t tried any of those yet.

Beautiful work on the Hawkeye.
