                        Thought I would share some of my final builds before my hiatus nearly ten years ago. I look back now at some of these and think "geesh, how in the heck did I miss that seem?" I see so many awesome build here now. Hopefully y'all will be willing to share some of the secrets from your mad skills!Smile

                        Awesome! Love the Italian F-104 and the phantoms! Too bad u had to quite building for awhile. Those are some nice cockpit details, especially the Stuka and hurricane.

                        Don't see anything wrong with any of those beautiful builds.  Nice work.

                        Maybe this link will work for the Stuka.

                        Those are really sharp looking models. The F-4 and Intruder in flight displays rock!

                        Gotta agree with everyone here.  The only thing I see "wrong" is that you took a 10 year hiatus!  I love all the planes especially the Cutlass.  Is that the 1/48 scale Hobbycraft kit?

                        Lol! What are you? Fishing for compliments bud? These things are awesome! Here I'll show you some bad builds.....

                        Granted they're not the WORST builds ever, they still come from a time before I knew of weathering, making decals look painted on, putty or patience lol.

                        The Cutlass was the 1/72nd Fujimi kit.  It was a blast.
