Thought some might enjoy found them quite peaceful and the grace that they exhibit is just as relaxing.First one is an EDF Lighting The nest one is a Skyraider it flies very well also it looks more realistic then any of the motorized one's to me.

Interesting I'm in for this.

I am wondering the same thing Paul this came out really great!

I was not that impressed with the first dry brush Rob it looked like paint but the second application brought the first in and blended it well bud it has that look now.

That is sharp John now you have me interested in a build.

Always a bit of a bitch when a plan fails seems I have been seeing to many of those myself of late.

Looking good from here when you get a chance a few more pics would be nice.

I have to agree Guy and throw in one more tidbit I am starting to realize Hubert might just have a brain.

I watched last night and with a 1400HP Allison Engine to back it up when it's flying you do not notice the difference!it looks great in the sky.

Is it a safe queen or do you shoot it Martin?If it's been to the range what kind of accuracy you get at what distance?I shoot open sites exclusively the G43(scope) is a queen.

Now what's the rifle?

I was thinking they have not been open that long have they Guy?too sad.

It's starting to look like these guys are getting hammered looking forward to seeing them painted and inserted for sure.

That came out real Nice John will be watching the Stuka what kit for the Stuka?

That is one plane I have not built in decades John and have been looking at different manufactures if I had to pick it be Hase or Borders.

Today would of probably been a decent day as Peter says with some over cast but my backyard will winter coming and no rain for 6 weeks looks like hell I say

Thank You Rob knowing you yours will look better. That was the whole goal from the start Martian and I think I got pretty close to the photo of the plane in flight down to the bolt heads and the exhaust stain.Notice to Martian came out better then the 109 oil staining on the prop and the nose.

Thanks Guy! I did too the R/LG took apart put back together still just a tad short wing dip.I used the flat wheels luckily and glued a .020" shim to the bottom was all it took to get the wings level.

Thanks Carl she is ready for inspection

A challenging build for certain guys loosing LG parts L/R issues with the paint and such but maybe the good Lord was steering me?I think I learned some new things along the way and getting more comfortable with other techniques.I have appreciated all the likes and comments in the build thread it helped to keep focused.Now for some pics ....last pic yes I almost forgot the tube.

I had one(plastic) with a can of Propel boy did those go fast(cans) and expensive I was like 12/13

That's some Nice paint and execution Martin but.....I searched all over the intranet and I could not find a Lockheed YB-555?? you little devil

I still need to glue the rockets in,fix two rockets back to the hanger and weather the hanger with the rear wheel.I say I have maybe another hour or two.

Thanks Mike I do to except the R/side something in the back of the mind though...maybe. I appreciate that Chris Florrys kinda blends things well. Thanks for the Kudos Hubert! I need to figure it out Rob maybe I need to wear gloves?I honestly think it may go to a bit more paint and a longer dry time? I have had that same comment over at MSW just perfection needed from here on out Thank You!

Well I am hot/cold on this one some parts I like some I hate the r/side being a hate on the fuse maybe just not enough silver it's so temperamental.I like how the wash just kinda blended things getting somewhat better on the landing gear.I can see another one of these in the future but the dart 106 I have going is going to get more layers of silver and a longer dry time I get impatient. Baby steps.
