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! 👏👏👍👍
