Excellent Mercury replicas! The Apollo model is awesome too! 👏👏👍👍 I have a thing for 1/72 scale aircraft, so I guess there's no reason why I couldn't get myself one or two Horizon kits. I'll think about it. 🤔

Fantastic! So beautifully painted with subtle wear & tear. Looks very realistic! 👏👏👏

That's very nice. Using miniature solar cells to replicate the actual cells was a stroke of genius IMHO. It looks very authentic! 👏👏👏

Nice work! 👍👍 I think the seams of the spirals on the ring aren't that noticeable anyway. The original model for TV was probably a mishmash of materials and miscellaneous parts.

Wow! Amazing! If the support stand wasn't in the picture, I'd have thought I was looking at movie stills! 👏👏👏👏

Wow! That is awesome! 👏👏👏👏

Awesome creativity and excellent model skills! Fantastic! 👏👏👏

Awesome work! 👏👏👏 I love that movie, with all its somewhat improbable-looking flying machines!

@Coors54 Thanks for the extra information. It is very enlightening to learn about the background and history of race teams. You may know - did Wolf and Hesketh co-exist for a while, or did Wolf pick up the pieces from Hesketh and move forward? Unfortunately, the days of "upstart" teams like them seem to be over - the teams are more like mini corporations nowadays, IMHO. 🤔

@DiveBomber Not trying to set myself up as an expert here (I'm not), but I suspect the aircraft's paint finish could also have some effect (e.g., how much it might oxidize or even char in the face of the hot exhaust exposure). On a purely "artistic" level, I tend to choose darker colors (more dark brown than black for me) for lighter-colored aircraft, and more towards pale grey for very dark-colored planes. Experts may advise otherwise, but I think that works for me.

A work of art in 1/72 scale! Beautifully done! 👏👏👏👏

I do like the idea of window outlines being shown in scale in the instructions. This is a great alternative to aftermarket masks, since they are templates for making one’s own. Would love to see this feature in more kits, whatever the manufacturer.

Looks pretty good! The decals turned out quite nicely. 👍👍😀 Was the roll cage included in the kit?

Amazing! Based on the awesome model I see in the photos, I can’t imagine how you got the glazing to fit without any (apparent) trouble. Everything is so perfect! 👏👏👏👏👏

Lovely Porsche! Fantastic collection! 👏👏👍👍

That’s totally cool! In my younger years (!!) I was into Lego as much as plastic models, so I think they both satisfy a similar urge. That bike is awesome! Congratulations! 👏👏👏👏

Wow! That’s incredible! There may be shape/accuracy issues (I wouldn’t really know) but it sure looks real! All those details look so perfect. Amazing work! 👏👏👏👏

Don’t want to ruffle feathers but I rather like the 312T4 and always did. Yeah, a matter of personal taste I suppose.

Me too! Definitely one of F1’s most beautiful cars though. Was only recently (watching a recent interview with Jody Scheckter) that I found out that this was an embryonic Williams Team, so-to-speak. Anyway, what a beautiful build with exemplary paintwork! 👏👏👏👏

Stunningly beautiful! What a wonderful tribute to a great champion. The sleek, sculpted look of these bikes never fails to attract my attention. Magnificent work! 👏👏👏👏

Glad I found this WIP. I’ll be looking on with interest. I’m a big NASCAR fan and an SVG fan, so I’ll be keen to see it progress. Great work so far!

Just awesome! Realism of the next level! 👏👏👌👌

This looks so good in every way - which makes me think your height adjustment was the correct thing to do. Your canopy masking is top-notch. I’ve had misgivings about that method, but perhaps I should try it again sometime. Extremely well done! 👏👏👍👍

Brilliant, Mate! 👏👏👏👏

Beautiful 717! The whole Boeing thing crept under the radar to me - I recall a slight shock when (what I always thought was) a DC-9 got identified as a 717. 🤔 Your build is 10 out of 10 from me! 👏👏👏👏
