Re: How many of you can/will build a 1/18 resin model?

Paint schemes are endless since a number of countries have flown the Phantom. This is a plane that has been begging to be built...

Re: Lets see some of photos of your customs and conversions.

I'm going to take comparison photos of the original P-51 "Old Crow" model and the modified one. The detail is not to the extent that other members go (ie: A-10Loader) however it is worthy of showing.

Re: GIANT 1/3 SCALE NORTH AMERICAN F-86 SABRE

Don't get me wrong I would park the plane it in my living room where the coffee table is and invite people in to admire it. Of course if this were to happen I would be single or deceased, lol.

Re: GIANT 1/3 SCALE NORTH AMERICAN F-86 SABRE

I'm afraid that would require selling off your collection, my collection and maybe a few others. Incredible detail and workmanship, what a beautiful model. I can see why you would want one.

Re: JSI Tomcat - Super Detailing???

It's a labor of love. As long as you are as close to being 100% satisfied I think your good. No one who undertakes a project like this will ever be completely satisfied. There will always be that, "I should of done this or changed that."
