Any time I have to double-take a picture, I know it’s done well. Excellent builds, and great photography!

Sweet builds. And the lighting on that Hun makes it absolutely perfect.

This forum rocks…

Hey G-J and splitter, thanks dudes! I try.[:D]

artworks2, man, I’ve been rocking since “Blue Suede Shoes”! [H] You are right, this is a great group and great forum too!

Thanks for the very nice comments I’ve received!!

Love the Thud and the Voodoo, from my era in the USAF. Very nice work

I too have the 1/48 OCD issue as well as “Mad Monogram Disease”. Very inspiring modeling and photography. I gotta echo what everyone else has said!

27

Ah,a fellow sufferer![:D] Then you can empathize can’t you? [;)] Thanks for the very kind compliments! I am so glad that my planes were well received and that my photos were too.

Good shootin Tex!

Thank you sir! But, are you referring to that “Hun”? I do have a 105 in the stash…just sitting there “taunting” me![:D] I really appreciate your nice compliment and thanks for your service!![B]

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.

32

Hey man, that ain’t a problem![:D] Hell, I know exactly how you feel; I travel around with 3 bloody pair of glasses-readers, prescriptions for everything else and 'script shades! Dayum![;)]

best regards, Gary

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!

34

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. [Y] 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!

36

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. [:D]

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,

38

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.
