An assemblage of air power! All of them a welcome addition to any model collection. Well done!

That is quite a collection of very well built models. My faves are the two Tomcats, mostly cause that is my favorite modern jet.
Niceley done sir and thank you for your service.
Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!
I scrolled back and see I forgot to post the pictures of the A-7 From VA-105. (Ooops)
So here is the A-7 from VA-105 (CAG bird)
FINALLY! I have completed the last aircraft completing on 1/48 scale aircraft for every squadron on the USS Carl Vinson for it's 1983 world cruise.
Here is the F-14 from VF-111:
Great builds, Wolfman.

Ish47guy Nice idea and nice work so far. I'm wondering after you posted the E-2C and you mentioned creating the decals for that particular scheme, what stopped you from creating correct timeframe decals for the A-7 & S-3?

The decal sets for VA-37 and VS-29 (A-7 and S-3) have the correct paint scheme, Just the ship name and CAG/CVW group designations are from the squadrons normal attachment. When we started the world cruise, all the squadrons were done in the Hi-Vis paint scheme but by the end of the cruise many planes were re-painted to the Lo-Vis scheme.
Great idea, what you have built so far looks great
awesome work those planes remind me of that movie the final count down ah the 80's

Just finished the A-6E from VA-52. Only two aircraft left. A-7 from VA-105 and the F-14 from VF-111.
Wow, such a ambitious project, congratulations on a job well done.

I have finished the E-2C from VAW-114. Had to make my own decals for the 1983 scheme.
Starting the A-6E from VA-52 next.
Nice work!!! Like the idea of building a complete group. This is similar to the plans that I have, by building one of each of the aircraft that are currently or have been based with the Idaho Air National Guard and at Mountain Home AFB. I currently have a couple of 1/48 F-15E's that I am going to do one of the 391th FS Bold Tigers and the 389th FS T-Bolts, I also will be building the F-16C that was based with the T-Bolts. For Gowen Field I will have the A-10C, F-4G and the F-102. Still trying to find the RF-4C, and some others from Mt. Home.
On the Bench: Lots of unfinished projects!
Very cool Wolfman. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the birds finished.
That is very cool! The early 80s are a great time for markings options as you could see early TPS, overall Gull Gray with toned down markings, or the full color markings all in the same Air Wing.
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!
U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!
N is for NO SURVIVORS...

Nice!

The SH-3H from HS-4 is now completed. Starting the E-2C from VAW-114 now.
Chasing the ultimate build.
Gotta get a Tamiya kit in there, plus a Revel and a Monogram. Maybe even a Lindberg.....nahhh!!!!

On The Bench: Tamiya 1/32nd Mitsubishi A6M5 Model 52 Zeke For Japanese Group Build
Build one at a time? Hah! That'll be the day!!
This is sweet! Nice builds knox
A-7E (VA-37) is Hobby Boss
F-14 (VF-51), S-3A, EA6B, and the soon to be built E-2C are Italeri
A-6E is Kinetic
Sh-3H is Hasagawa
F-14 (VF-111) is the Eduard "Danger Zone" edition
A-7E (VA-105) is an unpurchased kit. Will get it later. Which ever kit is on sale at the time.
Don't have room to make a 1/48 scale CVN-70 (LOL)
I am thinking of making the shelf look like a section of the carrier deck.
Which kits have you used so far (manufacturer)? Great job! You just need a 1/48th Carl Vinson to display them on now.....
I believe that the Trump KA-3B kit also has the E parts in it. I will check with a friend of mine as he just got the kit to do his as a VAQ-130 bird from the Midway.
WIP: Monogram 1/72 B-26 (Snaptite) as 73rd BS B-26, 40-1408, torpedo bomber attempt on Ryujo
Monogram 1/72 B-26 (Snaptite) as 22nd BG B-26, 7-Mile Drome, New Guinea
Minicraft 1/72 B-24D as LB-30, AL-613, "Tough Boy", 28th Composite Group
Very cool! Too bad you couldn't have them all in same air wing tail code.
Not sure of VQ-1, They do not make a EA-3B in 1/48 scale. And I have been thinking about doing the COD bird as well (although 3 different squadrons landed on the Vinson depending on the ships location during the cruise.) But yes to all the others (see original post)
