Oh my goodness! So much brilliant stuff in this page! The X-29 definitely is my favorite, but the Triebflügel, F-16 FSW, Shinden, Snow Plane, and the two undesignated Luftwaffe protos are equally brilliant! Keep 'em coming, folks, I can't get enough of this stuff!

Nice stuff!  Particularly like the Fuchs APC with KV-1 (?) running gear!
The Merkava/Gepard bash is also pretty nifty.

Really good. The luft46 is not my favourite theme but the kits are really good.

Nice Merka-pard -- rather like the model that I built in 1984 or 85 on an ex-IDF M-108 hull.
Have also seen a Gepard turret on an Abrams hull which looked like it belonged there.

Oooo me likie that 108Geph!!

IPMS Region 5 Butch O'Hare contest.





Hmm, seen this before.

[Stargazer]

Wow, that F-23 is WICKED!! Splendid job.
And of course, the Habbakuk model looks really great on display, a showstopper if ever there was one...

Yes it is and it's the first time I've realised how big it is - wow !!!

That Boeing B-52 (I assume it's the origional look of the prototype ?) is a stunner as well

That's not a B-52! It's a Convair B-60 !!!

Thanks Stargazer I wasn't certain but I thought Boeing's origional design had a similar cockpit. My do-do

By the way, found out these are Seadude's pics.  He posted a link to them all in another thread.

The original B-52 had the pilots under a teardrop canopy a la the B-47.  Curtis LeMay told them he wanted a traditional side-by-side arrangement.

Too bad he didn't say the same thing about the B-47.  Would make building a modern version easier

Always felt that was the best looking seating arrangement for the B-52.  I can appreciate that a traditional, stepped cockpit though, is better for a working relationship between pilots.
