This i the first aircraft modelI hve ever made. The dioramaa depicts Marine pilots getting ready for a sortie off an Aircraft Carrier.
Thanks for looking

Nice display keep it up,…
Hey Mac,
Nice first a/c.
So I’ve been trying to guess here. it’s always helpful to tell what the models and scale is.
Those figures are the Tamiya USN pilots in 1/48, correct?
The Hellcat- I am not enough of a carrier fan to know the version, but it looks like an F6F-5.
What is the kit?
My constructive comments:
That airplane came in blue. The earlier -5’s were three color camouflage, but most were overall gloss blue. I think the earlier paint scheme blue over gray was for the earliest -3’s.
Your markings are early ones too. Take care when doing the stars to set the orientation right, the left upper wing looks backwards.
It’s a well done model and the pilots really caught my attention first. There’s a lot of good work there and on the next one pay really close attention to the details.
The flight deck should also be blue. Thats an easy fix.
