Thanks Joel.

Hasegawa 1/48 CF-18 with Canuck decals representing the plane that SHOULD have been flying over my house right this minute IF only they had not cancelled the local airshow.

Phantom,

Another quality build with your CF-18. You have to be one of the most prolific builders I've ever seen. Each model or repaint is simply outstanding. What would take me months to accomplish, you do in a few weeks. Looking forward to your next presentation.

Thanks Joel. Won't be anything for around two weeks, too much going on around here for a bit.

In fact I think I might just go downstairs and clean the build table.

Almost completed 1/48 Tamiya F4F-4. Display stand is in work and still need the landing lights put in. Will finish completely this weekend.

It's my first kit in 10 years so please be gentle. LOL :rofl:/>/>

Darrin,

That's really one nice looking F4F, whether it's your 1st build or not. WW11 Allied aircraft are my main areas of interest, so I'm always looking for new builds. Thanks for sharing.

This is originally from the Shelf Queens GB. It's a Revell Crusader in 48th scale. I wanted to show it off here mainly because of the stand I made for it. It's a piece of 0.40 plastic card that I dipped in hot water and bent at the ends. It didn't really come out how I intended, but I really needed to get this one in the display case before my old lady filled that spot up with something else.

Exhausted,

That's one really nice F8, especially how you displayed it. You share your display case with your wife? Hope she builds models or does figures.

Andre,

Very nicely done Eurofighter Typhoon. I really like the intake cover, and those tail markings.

Thanks Joel_W.

My wife actually uses it for family pics and little displays she makes in her free time. She doesn't model, but maybe she'd enjoy an attempt just for fun. Maybe a dinosaur or other figure would float her boat. Her hobby is candle making and I showed her how to knit (LOL), so she really likes that too.

Finished this MASSIVE 1/48 CC-130J Hercules. The stretch from the short model was made using an old herc.

This is just before paint.....

Phantom,

The 1/48 CC-130J Hercules is simply amazing. A fantastic conversion, extremely well executed. And then a perfect finish. My only question is where to you display a model of that proportion?

Your B-25J into a CF-100 also is top notch, but the Herc Just over powers it in your posts. BTW, what scale and manufacture?

The Herc is Italeri, and the B-25 is Pro Modeller. As for display.

Had to leave the wings un- glued and one wing off. Looks silly but its the only way to fit it in the shelf.

Phantom,

Most unusual, but seems quite practical. I've shied away from one particular build simply because I won't have a place to display it when it's done. The Revell 1/48 scale PBY-5A. I really want to do Strawberry 5, and have custom decals made. Thinking of trading or selling it, and going with a 1/72 scale model instead.
