Apple Valley, Minnesota
Dave used Hasegawa’s 1/48 A-4E/F, Hasegawa Navy Carrier Deck
crew figures, and Tamiya acrylics to create this diorama for a co-worker who
was an A-4 tech on the USS Hancock
during the Vietnam War. Dave scratchbuilt the blast deflector, carrier deck,
catapult shuttle, bridle, retainer and hold-back, but the A-4 is straight from
the box.
