Sorry to keep posting photos of the same model (my SE5a) but they are NEW photos and have a scale look to them. For me, one of the fun things about having a scale model is reinterpreting it photographically both on the ground and in the air.

The ferry pilot of a Hellcat drone runs through his last minute check list on the apron prior to start up. Hellcat drones were flown by live pilots when relocating the aircraft from one base to the next.

The Hellcat tucks up its gear in prototypical staggered fashion as it claws for altitude shortly after take off.

I apologize for the watermarks on these next photos. They were taken by Ken Young of Ken's Aeroden at the 2014 Hemet Scale Masters qualifier and are just too good not to share. My airplane never looked so good thanks to Ken's skill with a camera!

Only if they are "new recordings!"

But I don't remember these and I really like that first shot.

Too bad there isn't such a thing as "scale water."

Just staged the P-39 at Winter Warbirds Over the West in Phoenix

Just staged the P-39 at Winter Warbirds Over the West in Phoenix. There are 5 planes in the distance in my shot but look like tiny nats. The real photo was captured with a P-38 in the background & a WWII Vet. who saw action in the Pacific said that it was probably a photo recon P-38 (called F‑4s and F‑5s) and another Photo bird probably took the shot. PTO = Guadalcanal

This doesn't really meet the theme of the thread, but you'd appreciate this - which, unfortunately, crashed earlier in the day (not badly banged up, just a broken skid from the look of it). Really interesting build, wing-warping and all.
