wow, spectacular. The 747 dwarfs the 7 foot span B-2. Awesome. Where do you store all those huge models?
Very creatively.. :mrgreen:

I have also built a few racks of PVC and aluminum for my RCs to store as much as I can vertically.

Those look way too good to risk flying! But I could say that about most of our Museum planes too!

I think i will be putting these up for sale shortly so i will miss out on flying them and both are collector item's now . I did a custom paint job on the P40 and used custom Decal's as well.

Finally finished a project I’ve been working on for the last few months, an extensively modified RC B-17 converted to a static model with lots of added detail. Engines, turbosuperchargers, gear, guns, cowlings, interior parts and props all had to be completely redone and through a combination of scratch building and 3D printing. Painted it up as “Wabbit Twacks III” with a remotely activated lighting system. Took about 6 months longer than planned, but glad to finally call this build complete!

Yeah, I’m that guy. Thanks for the kind words. Now all I need is for it to survive the cross country drive tomorrow without any damage.
