I don't believe it's possible to make a model look more real than these photos do  :bow:

This is so fanfrakkingtastik that it hurts to look away. I may be here for a while.  :wub:

Anybody have the url for a good knitting website?  That is one gorgeous creation.  That finish is fantastic.

Man !!!  I just love it  :o  What a fabulous effect, the mountain background with the grass coming up to the edge of the concrete is the best   :bow: :bow:

Jaw-dropingly stunning, Mr Howling Mouse! Your Super-Bolt looks loaded for bear with those menacing rockets and I'm sure you could fool lots of "experts" with those incredibly realistic looking photos.

I think I'm going to take up mudpies now.

Outstanding work!

Fantastic work Baz, lovely photos too! :ph34r:  I still think the long slim fuse a Japanese-ish look, a bit like the Ki-84.  Maybe the Superbolt was Republics response to the Frank entering service, to keep the edge?
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Since the reason for the P-47's bloated dimensions was all the turbo-supercharger plumbing, perhaps this is a stripped-down lightweight version, in the spirit of the Bearcat, which dumps all the plumbing in favour of a bigger engine and a big, simple supercharger?

Barry, if I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times, please stop posting images of real aircraft and try to pass them off as your models.

Many thanks but I honestly spend more than my share of time, gape-jawed, drooling over the styrene (and cardboard...and bread-clips) wonders made by others on this site!!   :thumbsup:

I am left somewhat speechless. And even more astounded.  The bar has been risen once again. Fantastic doesn't quite cover it.    :cheers:

Holy smokes! Baz, you are amazing!

So do you have to take a wheel barrow to model competitions to take all your awards away?
