21st Century Whiskey Running Sabre Jet

LUKE57 · Post by **LUKE57** » Thu May 17, 2007 8:43 pm

I'm new here and have been lurking for a while just enjoying the info and pics on here. I wanted to say just how much I like the 21st Century planes. My son bought me a Corsair a couple of years ago and my "air force" has expanded greatly since then. I like the way I can use my 1/18 diecast cars when I shoot pics of the planes and, since I work in at least 1/25 scale, I really like the larger planes and the extra details.

I'll admit that only having to add the wings and tail planes has made me a little lazy but at least I get something finished for a change. Hope ya'll enjoy this picture of my newest "rum runner" at my hidden field way back in the mountains away from the prying eyes of the "T"-men. I think the change over from high powered cars to high flying jets will be a good thing. LOL

Hey Luke,
Welcome onboard. Cool fotos. Could you do that for me on a Tiger Tank! I don't think that I could fit in the copula though.

Thanks for the warm welcome ya'll. And pickelhaube, if I can get my 6'3" ex-cop buddy in this AMT 1/25 '56 Ford then getting you in a tank ain't gonna be any trouble at all. LOL

On the ground would be cool, can I send you a picture of me?

Sure, I've got to get some sleep so I can work tomorrow but I'll get to it as soon as I can tomorrow afternoon. In the meantime, I need to make one more run with the old "pony" and then I'm out'a here for tonight.
Just send it to

Wow,you have that photo insertion stuff down pretty good. I really like the guy in the car with his arm resting on the door.

Aw shucks, that ain't nothin'. What about some drivers, battle damage, tire smoke and a little speed blur?

I'm working on a takeoff roll for my P-51 that'll really get your attention, are the inner gear doors supposed to be up or down at rotation?
