I have finished the 1/72 Monogram SR-71 and the included D-21 Drone. See the progress thread for more pictures.

This is the D-21 Drone that is included in the Monogram kit.

Here is my 1/48 Hasegawa RF-4C of the Spanish air force. The add ons are Hi Decals and a refueling pod made out of a Q-tip and 4mm from a old A-4.

Here is a photo of my Q-tip being turned into a refueling probe, using a old build as a guide.

This is the old hasegawa kit. Overall a bit basic but makes up well. Decals OK except the red ones where the white was out of register so did my best to cover it up with a micro brush.

If anyone is looking for a good match for Gunship Grey then Vallejho Grey primer is damn near spot on.

This is the 1/48th scale Heller kit of the Republic RF-84F Thunderflash assigned to the 29th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron of the 363rd Tactical Reconnaissance Wing, Shaw AFB, South Carolina. There are more photos and words in the WIP thread.

RF-84F-46-RE 53-7654 Luftwaffe EB+368. This was a serious bash using Heller/Fonderie 48th, Monogram F-84F, AMS Resin detail set, my PE speed brake/wing fence set, and scratch built camera installation.

M-12/D-21 bash using Testors 48th SR-71 and YF-12 with Eagles Talon vac drone. Build was modeled after the AV in the Museum at Boeing Field in Seattle. Washington. The cockpit/drone controller area is quite different from any of the other Blackbirds so took some time to get the contours revised.

Heller 48th RF being built as RF-84K-17-RE 52-7265 FICON which is resident at Planes of Fame in Chino, California. Photo shows my PE speed brakes and wing fences set installed. It won't get completed for this group build because of too many other irons ... er, planes ... on the bench.

Based on the rules for this group build, I won't claim eligibility for anything as both of the completed builds were done some time ago and the other won't get completed in time. Photos posted for whatever interest they may have.

Excellent work on the two, (three), recce birds. I especially like that M-21/D-21 combination. That is the first time that I have seen it done in 1/48. The finish is superb. Nice work on the D-21 to make the tail end look like a rocket chamber instead of a jet exhaust.
