Tanks for the memories
Your breachblocks so black
And oodles of track
Here at Grafenwoehr it's so good to be back
Oh, tanks for the memories..

Ron Denning does amazing work. He has some other projects posted at http://www.largescaleplanes.com.

Here are a couple of other links to his stuff (sorry if this is hijacking the thread):

1/18th Sikorsky Skycrane:
http://www.largescaleplanes.com/Photost ... /ch54b.php

1/18th Douglas X-3 Stiletto:
http://www.largescaleplanes.com/Photost ... /x3/x3.php

1/18th F2G Super Corsair:
http://www.largescaleplanes.com/Photost ... 2G/f2g.php

It's an interesting site with a lot of modeling talent showing there, and a few 1/18th nuggets scattered about.
Was it for this my life I sought? Maybe so, and maybe not...

Pretty incredible model of a plane that I would love to see done.

But I agree with PH. Three years. :shock:

And the fuselage does look a little 'skinny" to me, although I am not an expert on this plane. Just my impression.

None the less, a great build. 8)
