Down here we call them "gully washers" for that very reason. Barry

Still looking for that "scale" nose gear strut for the Phantom?

I've have lobbied Paul Fisher for the "Dragon Lady" in 1/32 on several occasions. Barry

Exceptional work Ben, you've really captured the look and detail of the "Hoover". Barry

Beautiful shot Tony. Barry

Awesome stuff here Paul! Your build/approach reminds me of years of actual aircraft production. As I've migrated more of my builds especially details to scratch building I've discovered that my brain is the key to my modeling. Finding the right medium, material or tool to solve a building need brings light to more and more possibilities. Quite often I find that I have to make the tool or fixture before I can determine what will be used. Keep up the spectacular work. Barry

Jake, This is an awesome sheet, I'll be adding this one for sure. Barry

Com' on Oliver you've got to tell the truth now, let us know where we can get one of those "shrinking" machines you're using. That is simply awesome work, I've worked around many aircraft power plants and you've captured the look nearly perfectly! Barry

Fantastic work as always Peter! Thanks for the link to Eileens, I'm always on the lookout for brass shapes. Do you have a source or method for making "hat" shaped brass? Barry

Hi Gaz, Thanks for sharing, some very nice models there. Barry

Considering that all the visible ground personnel are in civilian attire perhaps this is a pic of the first or early mods still at the Douglas facility. Would explain the cannons and pylons, just a thought. Barry

Very well executed, looks great! Barry

That is some mighty exceptional modeling Mike! Barry

Nicely done Mark! Barry

Just ordered mine. Barry
