I've been bringing a few models to my work per day and getting shots of them. Here's some of them.

There's my 1/144th P-51! :wink: I've got mine sitting on the SWEET P.S.P. set.

Nice job! Looks like you put some real care and skill into your models. :D :wink:

Thanks! I love those Sweet kits. I've still got a few more of their Wildcats to go and I need to pick up a pair of the new P-47's too!

Thanks!

Sweet makes some pretty nice kits for 1/144 and the decals are amazing.

They aren't cheap but most kits come with two planes and at least 4 decal options. Plus they go together like a dream.

Those are really nice!

I love the B-25. What scale is it? The weathering looks spot on.

The 1/144 stuff is incredible!

Thanks.

The B-25 is an Italeri kit I built back in the early 90's. I always felt I overweathered it but it looks kinda cool like that.

I dusted my 1/72 scale collection the other day and here's what it looked like on my bed.

If there's any you want to see pics of just holler and i'll get on it. I'm in the process of taking pics of them all but can only do a few a day.

I just use a long, soft bristled brush.

Oh and I would love to see pics of that Staggerwing. My favorite civilian bird and they look sharp in military markings too. What was it the UC-43?
