That Hikoki plane looks nice

Agreed. The 'plane in the jar needs a goldfish and then you could call it an art installation and flog it for a fortune

Those last 3 are all great.
On one of the automotive model forums I frequent there was a long debate about the practicalities of submerging a model car in a fish tank.

General consensus was IIRC that you could do it if you used the right paint or sealed the paint under the right clear. The problem was you'd really want to weather it with one of the proprietary rusting treatments and all the ones that contain iron also involve acid.

Heheheh, the Ultimate Zwilling!
Tophe will just ADORE it!
But as you say Thomas where would you put it once it's been built? It will have needed a mega work bench to build it on as well.

Ups, the Notify tool from here did not work and I just see this Bv222Z. I knew this one:

But the Skyraider Zwilling is a discovery, pleasant, thanks! (I will just have to turn it from a plane of the 1950s into a 1944 project).

How about this modified (supersonic) L-159?

Woah ! How cool is that ? Be a scale-o-rama possibility as well. Nice shape to be sure.

Supersonic L-159 Sokol was real project from late sixties. Decades before L-159 ALCA.

Hmmm, I could see doing something similar with an F-5.

Captain Canada · June 13, 2015, 10:06:08 PM

Ya the first pic, the black model, sure looks like an F-5 ! That's probably why I like it so much

So that's where those little AT-STs come from...

Captain Canada · June 19, 2015, 08:54:39 AM

That tankpache looks neat. I know it's not realistic but I really do like the look of it !

Hey guys, check out this build of a Dehavilland Dh88 Comet from a Portuguese modeling forum:

Wow, that Comet is superb.

Those engine nacelles may not be aerodynamically wonderful but they sure look good!
