I was just seeing if anybody would notice and glad to see that someone did.

I hesitated posting anything here as I have followed this thread for awhile,
1. Being interested in this hobby and
2. Interested in photography.

Scared to post for not meeting YOUR standards.

So see ya.............................

....glad you enjoyed the new crop of the ziroli mustang..seeing now again makes me realize I need to really weather the back of the prop much more though...does not look weathered at all, even though it is.

yeah the skyraider shot really looks great... is that UK's Phil and Ali's? .... and that one air transport plane shot I like a lot too.

Happy New Year

I don't buy that. Anyone intimidated by this thread wouldn't post a full-scale image...and the rest of your images were fine.


Ali's Skyraider is the shiz. I've always admired the weathering on the centerline tank.

That is a great tight crop on the 'raider. Makes it appear so much larger.
Mind you, there is no way I'd guessed it was a model!

Only if you have a verry verry verry good look at the engine.

It´s a superb photo of a superb model.

Well, be prepared to get nowhere as far as the best photo is concerned Jonny...
but what a model... and one hell of a motor[sm=thumbs_up.gif]
I had to post the link in case anyone felt the urge... http://www.sawo-motoren.de/
Boy, they take their model engineering VERY seriously in Germany.

Well, I think the first photo in the group is actually very nice from a scale standpoint. The last, not so much but it does show the monstrous size of this beast which helped the post.
Definitely proves that bigger models make scale photos easier. Heck, even the one with the pilots in it looks believable to me.
Nice plane! Tell us more about it.

At a certain size it stops being "best scale photo" and just becomes "best photo." Even the shot of the child with the "model" seems somehow almost ok. So when's someone going to get around to building a 35% Gotha?

Hello,
that must be one of the most beautiful F-16s I have every seen. Outstanding design and finish. Great shots, too. I like the way the pilot is looking towards the camera. Could be a full size landing! Well done!
Cheers, Martin

Chevypower 1930,
Sorry, the objective of this thread is to have photos that look so real you can't tell if they are models or real.
Yours definitely looks like a model..a nice model but non-the-less it doesn't look like a real aircraft.
