Great! it finally worked! well, I know who I'm voting for Wink [;)]

I would state my favorite aircraft, but because I was the founder and runner of the gb, I dont want anyone to have negative fellings towards me.

Plane and overall best:

Tough, but I went with the Rafale.

Now that a new one is added, I have to go with M1's T-34.

Good job guys!

Twas a tough choice between the Rafael and the F4, but the last pic of the F4 decided it.

The F4 was always my favorite aircraft design, but tankmakster7's build got one big flaw to it.

IMHO, the rear of the air-intakes when no engine supplied should have been painted in a very dark gray or matt black.
Call it a pet-peeve, but a bit of a spiler for me on an otherwise very well finished kit.

Great job guys!

But since I could only choose one, I have to pick the Rafale. Great job! With the Gundam and the Phamtom coming in tie for a close second place.

Great work, everybody!
I went with Jay's excellent Rafale. A super-clean build of an interesting subject.
I really liked that Whippet, too...
And all the others!

I gotta go with the Rafale and not just because its in Canadian markings! Big Smile [:D]

With the Canadian Armed Forces budget they might be able to buy one or two. Depends on what the repair bill is to repair the subs the British just sold us (bunch of rusted tin cans Disapprove [V]

).

They all look great though.

Now now, can we blame our government for buying old and antiquated equipment so that the Queen can honor us in helping them in bolstering their economy by building newer, safer equipment for themselves?

It was a tough choice, and you all did very well. I voted for the Whippet, as I think it's particularily well painted, but that Rafaele is super-clean, with a very well done cockpit.

well, technically, we didn't buy them. in exchange for them the british can use a couple of our bases for training. at least, that's what I understood the deal to be.
