The F-22 is a cool looking plane, and that paint scheme puts it over the top!

Beautiful job!!!!

You've done such a superb job on that plane--I wouldn't worry about the canopy. The difference isn't that noticeable.

This is going to be one cool looking plane when finished!! Great work!

I'm amazed and impressed by your work on the instrument panel! I couldn't do as good a job on a 1/32nd panel! Great job on a cool looking bird!

I know it's been a long time since the last post on this thread, but I wanted to put my 2cents worth in. I'm a scratchbuilder myself, and can understand the frustrations that go with it. I suffer from severe depression most of the time and can sympathize with you when ailments slow things down and make life less than bearable. I also know that we can be our own worst critics. Let me tell you that I find your work amazing and inspirational. I say this from the heart. Your work is superb! Please continue with the project. Walt

This is one BEAUTIFUL diorama! I'm especially impressed with the figures. Those are the best 1/48 painted figures that I've ever seen!

That is the ideal paint job! I don't think it gets any better than that!

I'd like to see some more of that build as well.

Awesome finishing job! The B-26 has got to be the coolest looking of the WWII bombers. You did her justice! :)

I'm blown away with the level of talent on this site! Great job!

Fantastic! The weathering is great--but I'm especially impressed with the pilots. Figure painting has got to be the toughest of skills to master. And it looks like you mastered it very well!

I've flown in many of those old birds (the US Army version) I'm looking forward to seeing more of this build. I love what you've done with the interior!

Good job! I'm impressed with the yellow stripes on the canopy. The Corsair is a tough build and you made it look easy. Once again, well done.

You are an artist!! Beautiful job!!

Whoa that's one big bird. It dwarfs the BUFF! Fantastic job on that plane!

Excellent work! I love the scratchbuilt parts! This is one of me favorite airplanes of the Korean war. I love what you've done!

The realism for both are breathtaking. Excellent work!

It's been awhile since the last post. I'm hoping that you'll keep up the great work. What you are doing would be difficult in 1/32nd scale. In 1/72nd, it's amazing! Don't give up! I'm looking forward to seeing more!

I'm hoping that you will continue this build. Your scratchbuilt details are both inspiring and amazing!

I'm beyond impressed! I have one of those capsules--never had the fortitude to tackle it. Awesome!!!!

Beautifully done. The chipping effect is very realistic. :)

Hi Otto I'd love to see what you've done. I'm on SSM as well -- under the name "Treadhead". What is your username on SSM?

Beautiful paint jobs on both. Are they 1/48th?

Beautiful job. That cockpit is breathtaking!
