On another look, closer this time, yep, mistook the 100 for a 105, my bad.  Too much time working in F4's.  Even with glasses going blind in my older age.

From one Gary to another: Outstanding Air Force you have there! Great-lookin' photography and builds, buddy. Wish all mine looked that good good when I finish them. Hey....wait a minute......those are REAL planes, aren't they?? You been messing around with PhotoShop again? Heeheehee! Good stuff, Gary!

And from one Gary to another, thanks Dawg!  Your comments mean a lot to me brother, and all kidding aside, you're a great modeler your own bad self. Yes I get lucky with the pics sometimes...this thread really should motivate my lazy *ss to get it in gear and actually finish some planes!   But, there are still models in the display that haven't made it to the airport; I counted another 8 or 9 Monogram birds not to mention several other brands that still need a good picture session out there.  I guess a Monogram Air Force Part Two is in order one o' these days.  Thanks Gary for all the kind words!

Great collection and really awesome models - they look very "real" on these pictures.

Congratulations!

Thanks Aleksander!  You really made my day, I'm glad you like them and I hope to post Part Two soon.  I hope they are as well received as these old birds were.  Big Smile

Gary,

Your models look great! I especially like the F9F Panther.

I've got that same kit, but I haven't built it yet. Did you have any trouble with the node decal? If so, how did you handle it?

Regards,

-Drew

Thanks Drew!  Much appreciated my friend, I'm flattered!   That spiral nose decal intimidated me a bit.  I finally just jumped in and gave it a try.  It went down really well even if it isn't perfectly spaced.  I was afraid I'd muck it up if I didn't leave well enough alone.

That's a great collection, I also stick to one scale per type because of my OCD

Thank you Tojo!  I barely have room for all my completed 1/48 planes, with three stalled builds at the moment.  It won't be long, once I start building again, before both my display cabinets are full.  I wouldn't have room for 1/32 planes anyway, and 1/72 are just too small for my failing eyesight, lol.

Hey, thanks so much Mick.  I appreciate those kind comments mate!   As said earlier, sometimes I get lucky with the pics, and that always makes my models look better.   I think I'm just an average modeler at best but "sometimes even a blind hog finds an acorn".   Best regards, GaryBeer

Wow, those are some beautiful models, Gary. To ditto Don, nice photography too.

Not sure what the 6th one down is, but for some reason it particularly caught my attention.

Not sure how I missed this thread.

Thank you Greg!  You are too kind sir (but hey, don't stop!, lol).

The sixth model is the McDonnell RF-101B Voodoo, done in a "what if" paint scheme.  I just thought it would look good in all-black, and given its name, somehow apropos.  I'm really glad you liked them!
