Scale models (Military/Historical) all scales

[The Entity]

So yesterday I found out there's at least one other member (@FlyAndFight) who's also into building scale models. Perhaps there are even more members who have this hobby, so I figured it might be fun to share some of our work. I am creating this thread so we don't have to derail other threads. Even though it's not a true collectibles thread, I figured I'd place this thread in the Historical/Military forum because I'm guessing it's the most appropriate place.

Anyway, I'll start off with my latest build.

F/A-18E Super Hornet
Academy
1:72 scale
Brush Painted

Custom made pilot. I Frankensteined this one from two other figures and made the visor with modelling putty.

This is one of my earlier models.

MH-47E Chinook
Revell
1:72 scale
Brush Painted

Let's see if this thread takes off (pun intended). I'll post more pictures down the line then. And if there are other modellers around, feel free to post your work!

Great idea, on this thread.

Here are some old pics of several of my scale model aircraft builds, all in 1/48th scale. Lots of scratch-building done along with after-market detailing sets added, as well as, especially with the engines and cockpits.

VMA-332 Marine F4U-4 Corsair from the Korean War:

Douglas A-20G Havoc, "Green Hornet", 388th Bomb Squadron, 213 Bomb Group, USAAF, New Guinea, 1944

British Typhoon, TP-F, 198 Squadron, August 1944, ETO

Great work on those! Love the details I see you made the radio wires as well on the Corsair and the Havoc. At first I made the wires from heated and stretched sprue when I started, but I recently bought elastic rigging wire to make them. I'm guessing that's what I see here too?

Another model of mine:

HH-60J Jayhawk
HobbyBoss
1:72 scale
Brush Painted

Beautiful paint application. Hard to believe you brush painted it!

Yes, I long ago abandoned the stretched sprue process for aerials and antennas.
