Merv, those are excellent shots sir! The color and exposure and material are great!! And I love the shot of the SU-2!

Thanks Eric, we were fortunate enough to have Tom Cruises P-51 fly over UCR for the Tuskegee Airmen Forum on Saturday and I got some shots of the fly over. I hear you don't see his P-51 very often.

Nice shots Merv! Don't care much for Cruise but she's still a gorgeous plain and you got some great shots!

Really nice shots, Merv...they had some great iron there!

God, I love Duesenbergs...

Was Tom flying it, or was Matt Jackson. I have seen it fly one time, for Dick Sykes funeral (one of the founder's of the Condor Squadron). At that time, Matt was flying it.

Thanks all for your looking at the photos and art work, Aaron, I'm not too crazy for him either, although I do like some of his movies and it is a sweet plane. From what I have read she was originally named "Montana Miss", he renamed it "Kiss Me Kate" for his wife. Eric the pilot was Matt Jackson and observer was Randy Hepner.

Reference the chopper, I remember loading, fueling and arming hundreds of UH-34s in Vietnam, it is a fantastic helicopter and my favorite, which you rarely see anymore, people are more into the Huey. This chopper was a work horse for the Marines in 67.

Thanks guys for your comments, the Abrams took me about two weeks to do, the perspective gave me some trouble but I think it was worth it.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Brilliant my friend!

Thanks VB, I'm glad you like it, I'm thinking of trying a Panzer if I can find the time. Armored vehicles take a while

I had a photo I took of a 1963 Chevy Bel Air Wagon so I thought I would try my hand at customizing it.
