nice builds Aggieman, those zig-zaggy walk likes on the B-52 must have been a pain! oh, and could you do us a wee favor and do something about all that empty space in your signature line? It takes up a lot of room ....
Hans, those builds are superb, but could you put the scale and name of the aircraft with your posts? I have no idea what that funky looking German one is called.

Now that I'm here, where am I??
Texgunner........AWESOME model AND photo! I took a double take when I first saw it and I KNEW it was a model!

Thank you sir. That old bird turned out pretty good. I think my models look better when photographed in natural surroundings, lol, like our small-town airport.

Texgunner Owl, I gotta tell ya, that MiG 29 is something else man! That is one cool model; great job. Gary

Why thank you kind sir! Your model is quite the looker too!
Done, Owl...
Here are a couple of mine- 1/48 Ju-87D and and P-51D

Here`s a 1964 Fw-190 that I built a long time ago...before I knew of FSM or any of the many techniques that I now employ on my builds.

Ahhhhhh, the "classic" Butcher Bird...Always great to see that one... and now a night fighter Korean War Mig
Only two Hans?
Why would you ruin a beautifully built model with such a horrific paint job...
Oh, I don't know ... might have had something to with the knickname of the AT-6, the TEXAN ...

Looking back on this one, I wish I'd done the two-seat Trainer now instead of the single-seat day fighter... Always thought the two-seater looked better as far it's shape and lines went... Reckon I'll just pick another pair and do up both the Trainer and the Nightfighter... Again, lol.. Think I've built this kit at least 4 other times... It's the only "Luftwaffe '46"-style aircraft I ever was intersted in...
I've even "flown" it in CFS 2 against 8th AF B-29s and P-80s, lol... It's performance in the sim is really good, it's faster 'n anything Allied with props, rugged, but it's under-gunned against the Superforts... Against the P-80, it's too slow to run away in a dive because of the compressability issues, but will out-turn it at all airspeeds & altitudes, and it can stand on its tail and climb out of a fight with 'em like a homesick angel...
I should take some pics and join in. None of the Revellogram builds I have in the case are in my photobucket account.
Get on it shooter! Any and all R/M builds are wanted!
Hans von Hammer Done, Owl...
thank you Hans,
stikpusher Get on it shooter! Any and all R/M builds are wanted!
Are you sure? OK........
Monogram 1/8 scale 1985 IROC-Z Camaro I built in 1986:
Still have it too

Setting new standards for painfully slow builds
here's that Mustang I was talking about: the 1/48 Revell P-51B retooled kit, finished in Foil and painted as Col. John C. Meyer's plane "Lambie II"
OWL
Kustom... where's the wings on that thing???
Owl, your Mustang is a great example of bang for the buck here!
How about a 1/48 Wild Weasel Thud? Probably my oldest build here.
Me 110/G...with a little PE
Pro Modeler Do-217E-5 With Hs 293A stand-off missle...
Pro Modeler Ta 154 " Moskito"....Das Lichtenstein ist kaput!
Monogram P-61 "Black Widow" w/natural weathering..( dust )...
Ok, here we go, one plane per post as requested. There are a couple of broken aerials I havent repaired yet. Battle damage from the move.
stikpusher Kustom... where's the wings on that thing???
I just posted that in fun. Lol But it does have a wing on the rear hatch.........
Well I suppose a spoiler counts as aerodynamics....LOL!
well here is the old original issue of the 1/48 Sandy/SPAD
Do Revell reboxes count, or is this original R/Mono?
Here's one. The 1/72 F-82 which I did up SAC style with all handmade decals, except for the starsn'bars, the tail numbers and the "USAF" up top.
It's all good to me Bondo...
My whole intent here is to show what can be done with those kits. Too many times on here I read, " ...stay away from R/M, they are junk..."
As can be seen here, that is hardly the case. While some are challenging and many are dated, I have yet to see any "junk" here. Some even win awards...
troublemaker66 Monogram P-61 "Black Widow" w/natural weathering..( dust )...
Love the Widow troublemaker - I keep flirting with one at the LHS but then talk myself out of it due to the display space I have to work with.
On the bench: Airfix 1/72 Wildcat; Airfix 1/72 Vampire T11; Airfix 1/72 Fouga Magister
The Widows here are a perfect example. How many times has it been said on here that that particular kit is a "DOG". Yet here are several beautiful builds of that kit... It's in my stash too, but for the same reason (display space) I have not tackled it yet...
Here's another "naturally" weathered old kit... Rebuilt after heavy damage in the 1993 Landers Earthquake...
