[Specifications] Assembly kit for diorama base
[Scale] 1/144
[Finished size] 256mm x 220mm x 113mm
This is a background model for an aircraft carrier diorama, with the flight deck and hangar modeled in three dimensions based on information from the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Nimitz-class.
It recreates the area around the No. 4 catapult located on the port side of the hull.
The hangar's location has been moved to the port side more than on the actual ship, making the overall design more compact.
The Nimitz class has been in service for a long time, so it can be enjoyed with a variety of aircraft, including the F-4 Phantom II, F-14 Tomcat, F-35C, RF-8 Crusader, F/A-18 Hornet, RA-5 Vigilante, A-6 Intruder, A-7 Corsair II, E-2 Hawkeye, C-2 Greyhound, EA-6 Prowler, S-3 Viking, SH-3 Sea King, and SH-60 Seahawk.
This is a multi-material model consisting of a flight deck and hangar deck made by laser-cutting molds into acrylic panels, 13 sheets of high-density cardboard also laser-cut, and parts modeled with a 3D printer.
As with plastic models, acrylic paints can be used for painting, and the acrylic flight deck can also be inked or stained with enamel paint.
Please note that although some of the sample photos show aircraft as example dioramas, the aircraft are not included.
*Separate adhesives, tools, etc. are required for assembly. *Please note that this is not a finished product.
