My 1/72 scale aircraft

Well time slipped a little too fast for me this last week Dean, glad to see your F100 completed, its looks fantastic like all your others. I'll always have an interest in whatever you build be it clocks, ships, airplanes, even Harry Potter dioramas. Keep up the good work my friend and certainly keep posting whenever the mood strikes.

Thanks Daniel…will do. Working on a few things at the moment.
 
I don’t model airplanes, plastic or otherwise but I admire good workmanship and your’s is first class. I have enjoyed seeing you build these well detailed and beautifully painted aircraft and will miss future examples going forward.

Thank you, I will be doing update posts showing aircraft once built. I am just not going to do a build log to show steps of each build.
 
Dean, will you be showing as built photos during your final presentation, my personal favorites are details of the instrument panel and engine details prior to final glue in?
 
Dean,
I can certainly understand your point of view and I apologize that I am one of those who doesn't comment much, but I have thoroughly enjoyed following along and seeing your awesome craftsmanship. Like Daniel, I would love to at least see the details like cockpit and engine.
It's been a real pleasure following you. I'm looking forward to at least seeing number 100

Thank you for your input. I will be sure to take some in progress pics and add them to the post of the finished aircraft. As I said, I will continue to post finished aircraft as long as there is interest. But I don’t want to get bogged down posting steps.
 
Well…life and illness got in the way of model building. But I finally had a chance to finish the T-28 Trojan.
I give the Heller kit a thumbs up. Some fitment issues, but not bad and the decals are excellent.
Some pics of the finished model.

I am now at 96 completed aircraft in my collection.
Soon I will need more shelf space. But I have enough to hold at least another 25 aircraft or more.

Thank you Steve! I was down for a few weeks with bronchitis. Feel good now, back to using my rowing machine. ;)

Dean, you need a B-36 and a B-52 (my old aircraft). That would fill up any extra space you might have.
 
Hi Dean
Very sorry to hear about the health issues. I too have been sidelined by just that. Glad to see you're back at it. Would love to see the B-17. One of my absolute favorite aircraft. I'm sure you would present a superb example
