Nice pictures Chuck. Some good modelers out your way. Awesome military vehicles.

Fabulous prop on the biplane. Would be curious to know how he pulled that of . Best I've seen so far.

Thanks- glad you like 'em! Many more to come. Christian, that prop is laminated, hand-carved wood- so it's about as close to the real thing as you can get in scale. Not really that hard to do, but the prop boss is custom photo-etch. It's by a gent named Terry- this and a Fokker Dr-1 were his first builds in decades. The LVG took a Second.

Any more of the IL-2?

I'm not sure, John- I'll check.

Thanks Chuck . That certainly explains why the prop looks so real. A lot of work for sure but very noticeable to my eye.

That was a great show. George does put on a well-run show.

Terry is also a member of my local IPMS Orange County Chapter. That was a well-deserved award.
