Great discussion. Here's a couple of ground shots to throw in the mix. Convair 580 and B26.

Onvi,

Iam almost sure that most of these models you are looking at were made from scratch or at a minium... plans only....Ihave just scratched the surface of just starting to get into what this is all about, and most of this guys have the ambition, the timeand the resources to do just about anything that comes to mind......If you just happent to be talking about my De Havilland Mosquito, it is available as a kit...

Happy building what ever you decide on...

David, thank you for your answer, but I am thinking of buying something clever, I don't have the time neither I practices it to leave it like they are come in the pictures, I am in santiago of Chile and many of the products that you use here for details so fine are not them, also that certain airplanes that you neither show exist for these sides.

For example : Convair 580,Carl Bachuber's plane,Desoutter MkI, Laser 150, then a 1/4 scale De Havilland Leopard Moth, Laser 150, don't exist kit in Chile

Regards
Ovni

David, thanks and yes, these were shot during the Indiana Warbird Campaign at AMA. It was an honor to be in the midst of such amazing modelers and their creations. The B-26 cockpit is stunning and I tried to show it off by getting real close (5") with an ultra wide lens. I used a 16mm lens on a full frame Canon 5DII. The wide lens helps to make the tarmac appear more distant which adds to the realism.

Ovni, thank you for the nice comment. I'm sure the builders would love hearing that. These two models were scratch built so you won't see kits or plans anywhere. Canadian Carl Bachhuber built the Convair 580 and American Paul LeTourneau made the B-26. Both have 12-16' wingspans.

Roger, nice shot of the Skyraider. I really liked that plane and Brian put it right on the deck for some thrilling low passes.

Hammerd, great looking models! Deployed in Palestine, right! Oh, how I envy those RC flyers in the UK and Germany with their lush green flying fields and "scale" landscapes!
