I was cleaning out some old files and happened across these pictures. They are various models I’ve built over the past several years.
Hasegawa AV-8B Harrier
Monogram F9F-5 Panther
Hasegawa A-4F Skyhawk
Hasegawa A-4E Skyhawk
Monogram F-14A Tomcat
Monogram F-18C Hornet
Hasegawa F-16A converted to ADF
AMT S-3B Viking
Those are really nice! I like the Panther a lot and I think you did it well. I’m thinking about getting one.
OH MY WORD Darren!
Such realism, such detail, the painting is just awesome. i can’t decide which model I like better.
Someday I strive to produce quality models such as these.
Those are really good, rather fantastic builds. The paint, decals and weathering are superb not to mention great photography too.
Do you still have them? I have sold all my old builds and currently only have two 1/48 Monograms built 20-30 years ago.
I like the Viking kit. Very nice!
Thanks for the kinds words all. They have either been sold or reside in museums. It’s weird, but once I get done with a model, it rarely stays on my shelf very long at home. I build for a couple of musuems, so they usually go to those if there’s a need. If not, I’ll find someone who’s interested in buying it for their collection.
Darren this is a pretty sweet collection you have here. Wherever they find a home, I’m sure they make it a happy home. I hope to be this prolific with nicer builds one day. =]
To build such realistic models and to be commissioned to do so is an achievement by itself. Great job on all your builds.

Darren, that is some fine work there. Keep them coming.
Wow great builds! The Harrier appeal to me the most.
Darren those are great looking birds
Sweet builds man.
Good stuff,I really like the Tiger striped skyhawk,but I’m also a sucker for a nice F-14
The Panther’s also my favorite, with the possible exception of the Skyhawk.

Wow, they all look fantastic!
Very nice job on the Mono Hornet, the seams on that thing can be a real bear!

Wow, gorgeous finishing on all those birds! That’s a collection to be proud of…I hope they’re on display in your home?!
Cheers,
