Hey all - I'm new to this forum. Been building models for forever. Wasn't clear where to do the new intro but here I go. I build mostly 1/48 military aircraft, a few different scale commercial aircraft, bikes, a few cars and figures. Anyhow - here's my last aircraft models for an idea of what I do
Minicraft1/144 EC-121R
Tamiya 1/48 F4F-4
Tiny 1/200 DC-3 - note the toothpick
1/200 Hasegawa 727 USPS livery
1/48 F86-F-30 Jabara
1/72 S2T Turbo Tracker - Cal Fire
1/48 F-16A Falcon
1/48 Tamiya Spitfire Mk1
1/48 Isracast Texan II
Please let me know if this is the wrong place to post.

Hi John, You are most definitely in the right place and your work looks great. is the F86-F30 the Academy kit and is the DC-3 made by Hasegawa? I am glad you pointed out the toothpick. Wow! That is impressive! What a beautiful, beautiful project. Does the Hase kit come with those decals? There is so much good work here! I also applaud your 1/144 Minicraft "Bat Cat." What a camo! I am not giving short shrift to the other projects in your post, either. You certainly joined with a real splash! Thank you so much for sharing your projects!
p.s. I was given Revell's F-16A as a gift last year. You did a beautiful job, sir!

The Sabre is the Hasegawa kit as is the tiny DC-3. The decals for the DC-3 are from Draw decals - Greg has a great selection but with the continuous film and extremely thin decals they require a bit of finesse. BTW - the DC-3 was painted with Alclad airframe aluminum 119. Amazing paint - really results in that super shiny finish

Wouh, what an introduction!
The DC-3 is truly tiny! If it would be standing alone, you could almost mix it with a 1/72 scale DC-3..
Thanks sharing these!

Now THAT is an introduction!
Those are all real beauties! I can’t decide which I like best, but I am a sucker for Sabre’s, and the Connie looks so different in SEA camo.
