Howdy y'all! Hatchet told me about this section, so I thought I'd put a few up that he and some others may not have seen. I see a lot of familar names here, so sorry about the one's you've already seen. :cyclops:

I haven't seen these before Eddie, both looking great! My favourite has got to be the white one, very cool indeed! I agree with Hatchet, it's very Macross-y. The Phantom nose cone looks excellent on an F18. :speak_cool:

Thank you all very much! I'll start from the beginning. If there's any that you'd like to see more of, I'll be happy to post'em.

This is the first one I took apart and rebuilt. The Firehog with water tank on the belly.

I just got a whif of some amazing models ;) lot of talent and creativity

Love the 104/18 bash :D

Thank you very much! I ( must say, this F-105 is the "awakening" as it were. I had just picked my 1st copy of a certain modeling magazine and couldn't believe my eyes. This F-105 is probably 25 years old and at the time was done with the skills I had at that time. :shit: I decided to try a few new tricks, which included adding the bomb bay and soft masking for the paint. The decals were a mish mash from the spares box. I have never looked back....

Y'all might have seen this in my introduction, but I thought I'd add some more shots. As you might be able to tell, I'm very fond of this one. :) It was made from a B-17 fuselage, B-24 bomb bay (1/48) and KC-135 wings and control surfaces (1/72). The Gatling gun was hand made from syringe tubing. It took me 2 years to complete.

Thanks Bexy!

Unfortunately, I don't come up with backs for my work very often. All my creativity used up in the building process. I do get an idea of the kind of mission I'd like to see it preform, but that's about it.

Here's one that is mission specific. It's made from a Hornet, F-22 and F-4. The The transport body is made from a piece of PVC pipe.

Eddie, despite the fact that you and I hail from the same neck of the woods, it goes without saying that you are far and beyond your peers in the "What if" group, but this is absolute glorious. Why do I get that certain "Firefox" feeling when I look at this one, BTW I will be nicking this one for me faves album. :winkgrin: That Tomagle, or Eagcat is just bloody marvelous too, but the Phornet is by far a work of art.

Thank you very much Clif!

I'm glad the Firefox influence is visible because that is what was on my mind when I did it. It was very close to become a Soviet bird at one point. Here's my latest that was inspired by the Firefox. I don't want to do a direct rip off, but I like to add elements for the eventual out come. I shared this one in the new members area, so for give me if you've seen it before.

Thats pretty smart there Eddie :thumbsup2:

Bexy

Thank you!

Just in case anyone missed the Hogzilla, here are some different angles beside the ones in the new members area. This is another of my epic builds and the other of my 2 favorite builds. Just about 2 years to finish this one.
