I was recently notified that this diorama will be
on the cover of FSM's "Great Scale Modeling 2003", and I realized
that I have never sent pics of it to Steve. So I thought you all might
enjoy some extended coverage of it.

I built this diorama back in 1997, and Paul Boyer
snapped a picture of it at the IPMS National Convention in Columbus, OH.
The S-3A
is the 1/72 kit by Hasegawa. It is basically OOB, I only added the
pilots. The carrier deck is made by Verlinden. It is a kit in
itself, and after painting and weathering it came out pretty decent. The
deck tractors and crew figures came from the Testor's (Fujimi) set.
This is my only model I have in 1/72 scale, but
the overall diorama is rather large. It draws a lot of attention
when I have visitors over, so I still keep it in my display case.
Hope you enjoy it.
