I like that.

 

[Matt308]

Wow they really pushed those roundels out to the edge, didn't they. Nice.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Very nice and the tension wires look good.

 

[Wayne Little]

...and the second Swordfish...

 

[Airframes]

Even better. The 'Cockpit Green' on the first one looked a bit dark.

 

[rochie]

agree, like that one better

 

[Matt308]

Love that scheme much better.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Yuppers

 

[Gnomey]

Looks good!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Got to agree it looks better and what a classic machine.

 

[Wayne Little]

Did look rather good!

Last one for this category P-51d in Flight.

 

[Crimea_River]

Pretty nice but I detect a couple of things.

 

[Airframes]

Agree, and I spot a couple of things too. Also, that pilot's in trouble - the engine has stopped and he's not got his seat harness on !

 

[Crimea_River]

And he's lost all lift on the wings with the ailerons the way they are.

 

[Airframes]

And elevators up, going to stall heavily !

 

[vikingBerserker]

I hope he misses the Swordfish before he crashes!

 

[Gnomey]

He is a goner for sure...

Nice one!

 

[Matt308]

I'm lost. How can such superb models be made without an understanding the fundamentals?

 

[Airframes]

Maybe a "Directory of Aviation Terms and Basic Principals of Flight" would help those modellers who like to produce a 'work of art' without any thought to reality?
Hmm. Yet another project for me to look at !
