Whoa, that is a fantastic looking Widow Maker! Love the art on the nose section. Excellent photography as well. Cheers, Albert

Good looking Cessna. It nice to see a civilian aircraft in hi-viz colors as well. Cheers, Albert

Thank you!

Phabulous looking Phantom, especially in the "which-ever-deity-you-worship" scale! Cheers, Albert

A Pavla kit, eh? I too like to live dangerously. Look forward to watching your progress. Cheers, Albert

I am very impressed with this kit. I've seen some fantastic models built OOB, so all of the added bits and bobs is just window dressing for an already fantastic kit. As far as the weight of the Legend bays, additional weight is still needed as the bays aren't heavy enough on their own to keep the model from being a tail sitter. Cheers, Albert

Hi All, Diving head first into my first large scale model. In this case, it Academy's lovely 1/35th scale AH-1Z Viper attack helicopter. I love the AH-1 series of helicopters, and really dig this particular variant (as well as the OG Vietnam War era AH-1G). I've picked up just about everything made for this model, so let's see if I can make it work. The box art; The aftermarket goodies; First thing to accomplish, and the most involved aspect as far as integrating an aftermarket set was preparing the forward fuselage for the Legend Productions AH-1Z avionics and ammunition bays. I drilled holes around the perimeter of the molded in bay access doors, then used a craft saw to removed the doors. Various sanding sticks and files were used to removed the remnants of the doors up to the door panel lines and clean up the opening. Here's the bays loosely fitted into place. I will permanently glue them into place once the bays are painted and the forward fuselage is assembled. Thanks to @Greg W for helping me get these fitted into place. His knowledge on how to tackle installing resin sets of this type was greatly appreciated. Here's the tail boom with some photoetch screens and Flying Leathernecks FMV antenna fairing fitted in place; Thanks for looking!

Excellent work as always, Dragan. Cheers, Albert

Very neat model, and unusual as far as the markings go. Nicely done! Cheer, Albert

Nice model of a neat subject, Shaun. Cheers, Albert

Good looking Predator. I need to add more of these UAV type of kits to my stash. I've been seeing some really nice looking models being built of them, which is inspiring to me. Cheers, Albert

Good choice (that is the one I used as well). The OH-13 is definitely one of their better kits Cheers, Albert

Very cool, love those trainer schemes. Built one of these myself years ago and loved every minute of it. Which kit did you use? Cheers, Albert

Nice work! I love a nice, clean civilian aircraft build. It's an opportunity to add color to the sea greens and grays in the display case (which is I also like hi-viz rescue a/c as well). Cheers, Albert

That is all I have to offer. Cheers, Albert

Oh my. Look at that gorgeous bare metal finish. Excellent work all around. Cheers, Albert

You're welcome, Gary. Such a neat and unique build. Cheers, Albert

Sharp looking airliner. I need to build an airliner myself one of the days. Thanks for sharing your build. Cheers, Albert

Definitely added a dash of color to the sea of grays and olive drabs in the display cabinet. Thank you, Michael! Cheers, Albert

Such an exquisite build. Excellent finish, it just has 'that' look to it. Cheers, Albert

Hi All, This is my recently completed ICM Ryan BMQ-34A Firebee with ground trolly in 1/48th scale. The finish is a mix of Model Master, Tamiya, and Mission Models paints. Flory's Dark Dirt weathering washes was used for the panel lines. The fit of the parts for the drone is excellent with a bit of filler needed around the intake lip. The trolly went together fine as well, but was kinda fiddly to handle (I lost track of how many times I knock the hitch arm off while messing with the trolly as I painted it or handled it in general). I went with the very colorful USN scheme for the markings. Thank you for looking. Cheers, Albert

Wow, that is impressive! Excellent weathering and overall finish. I really need to get this kit. I've heard so many excellent things about Arma Hobby kits (this one in particular), and this confirms what I keep hearing. Cheers, Albert

Nice looking Mudhen. Pete. The training ordnance is a nice touch. Cheers, Albert

Excellent work on your Huey, especially considering the kit you started with. I can hear The Animals "We Gotta Get Out of This Place" playing as I look at this model. Cheers, Albert

Nice work on a small subject. Looks larger than it is, so a testament to your finishing skills. Such a neat and interesting airplane. I'd be interested to know how this kit compares with the ZM Ho 229 in the same scale. Cheers, Albert
