Hi guys,

 

Here are crappy pics of some of my models in my other preferred scale.

I hope you enjoy. :)

 

First a couple of long distance record aircraft:

Zlin 242 (AZ models), Zlin 142 (Aeroteam), Piper Arrow (Airfix),

in front the Bede BD-5J (LS) and an 1/72 diecast MGB to get a feel of the size of the aircraft

Here's my first vacform: the Focke-Wulf F-19A Ente from Airmodel. This one is more than 20 years old.

Finally, these two were finished recently:

Great looking models Peter! While Ive never been much for 72nd scale, I have to say there are certain airplanes that may just simply not be feasible or practical in any other scale, such as that ANT-25.

Great looking models, and un-like a lot of 72nd stuff Ive seen yours definitely do not look like they are 72nd scale in those shots. Well done. :D :D

 

Cheers,

Brian

Some wonderful modeling. Your Douglas World Cruiser is absolutely a crowd stopper. How about a closeup of the BD-J5?

Thanks guys :speak_cool:

 

Yes Derek, I have a soft spot for the weird and the wonderful.

That doesn't mean I don't have a fair share of 1/72 Spitfires and jets as well. :BANGHEAD2:

I tend to approach them as quick relaxing builds an sometimes give them a special paint scheme.

 

Peter, here's the close-up of the BD-5J. I figured out I built this little model also more than 20 years ago!

I notice that because I didn't accentuate the control surfaces back then.

Crikey, what a great collection Peter! It's threads like this that really help to show the great diversity of modelling interests and tastes LSP members have, despite a shared affection for large scale planes.
