Very nice, and an unusual display. I'm guessing it's still in the small scale section, 1/144 or thereabouts, so if this modeller has a number of models in cases like that, it must make an impressive display, maybe stacked up. Good idea.

 

[Wayne Little]

Yeah still 'Tiny Tots' scale.....here is another unusual display.....

 

[Catch22]

Cool!

Now that's creative thinking! I never seen anyone attempt that sort of thing before - I presume it's a sonic shock wave? Great idea, and well done. Would make some good photos with the right angles and lighting etc.

 

[Gnomey]

Nicely done!

I like the creativeness of that Tomcat....

 

[Catch22]

Probably based off of this. Knew it reminded me of something.

Nice shot Cory!

 

[Wayne Little]

Great shot Cory!

Another in Aussie markings....

 

[Lucky13]

Niiice ones! The Herc, is that a "what if" or does something like that really fly in the USCG?

 

[Airframes]

Very nice, and an attractive aircraft too. I don't know much about the Bombardier - is it built/licence built in Oz Wayne?

Bombardier is actually a Canadian company, I don't know if you guys contract build them though.

Bombardier's based out of Montréal it seems.

Did that guy paint that yellow on the F-104 with a brush!?!?! That in itself is impressive.

The black is definitely brush painted, so it's likely the yellow is too?

The yellow looks pretty even so it is possible that it was airbrushed.....??

Thanks for the info Cory - I was interested as a mate was flying one on contract a couple of years back. I had a feeling it was either American or Canadian, hence the question re licence built.

Third place in the Tiny tot scale.....
