balls47 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Andrew & Chris, Our local high school's mascot it the Pirate. Sooooo, obviously I had to do some airplanes in this livery. I am an Air Force fan, but I have always liked the markings of VF-84 and VF-103. My son's favorite airplane is the F-14, so it was a no-brainer that he got one done up in VF-84 markings. I guess that I should be a good citizen and build some models for the school to display. Hey, great job. I am sure that it took a lot of time, patience, effort, etc. to get this project to where it's at now. I am thoroughly impressed. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to more of your models.

fitter Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I'm a huge Jolly Rogers fan myself. I have most of those but in 1/72, I have a couple done and the rest in my stash. You guys have done a wonderful job and given me motivation to get a crack-a-lackin on my own stuff. Thanks for pics! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AX 365 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Chris and Andrew, Great concept and nicely built and finished kits. Great family photo too. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mirage@enthusiast Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Hi! Really nice historical collection.... I have never seen before such a professional squadron history appeared in detailed modells. I think it has huge research work in the back.... Congratulation! Cheers Polo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew Doppel Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Thanks everyone for your kind words. Chris still has Tom Blackburn's big hog to add and I have another f4n and a superbug to be added. Fulcrum the f8 decals were cutting edge decals.

Andrew Maverick Taylor Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Oh yeah, great selection there. Some aircraft in there I never would have thought the old Jollies would have flown. Awesome collection. Well done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Doppel Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 Thanks Andrew, I always wondered why they didn't fly Skyhawks. I do have an image of a stratofortress with a Jolly Rogers on the tail I might do at some point. Regards Andrew Quote Link to post Share on other sites
