I love the blue nose -51s.

 

[Wayne Little]

next subject the Dora 9

 

[rochie]

another good one

 

[Crimea_River]

I agree.

 

[Gnomey]

Nice one!

 

[vikingBerserker]

Yuppers.

 

[Wayne Little]

Dora is a real nice build but I am rather surprised at the upper wing pattern?

Pics of Black 3 clearly show a distinct dark and light coloured camo pattern on the upper wings....?

Good point. The builder may not have had access to that reference and may have been relying on profles alone.

 

[Wayne Little]

Could be Andy....

Next a rather neat and tidy Typhoon

 

[Gnomey]

Good one!

 

[Crimea_River]

 

[Airframes]

Maybe a bit clean, but very nice all the same.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Very neat.

 

[Lucky13]

Very tidy indeed....

Some nice models out there Wayne and I wish we had some events like that close by to visit.I have noticed though that the most negative comment is heavy panel shading and I have to agree.Alot of the models being presented you are drawn to the panels and not the plane/work?Now the the Mistel was nice in this regard(L/panels) and the 202 looked pretty good also.I was about to climb that soapbox but I digress for now.Cheers

The Typoon is Sweeeet! clean builds are nicer than those overkilled.

 

[Wayne Little]

Moving on to a P-40 next, another neat and tidy build!

Don't disagree Kevin....some get it right and others a bit too much while some not enough....it's all a learning curve and a matter of perspective....

 

[Crimea_River]

Not bad. Clean and tidy as you say. Pilot really pushed that stick forward didn't he!

 

[Gnomey]

Nice one!

 

[javlin]

Not bad. Clean and tidy as you say. Pilot really pushed that stick forward didn't he!

I go what is Andy talking about "I didn't see no stick"
Well it has some nice paint and all but those cables <--- not wires.

I meant the elevator deflection downward is quite severe.
