Much more watchable pace Marvin.
Nice job and nice mix of images.
Thanks for putting the time in.

Much more enjoyable to watch and of course, I'm extra happy to see one of my models made the cut this time! And crashmaster, just so you know, there are 41 WWI models shown and 37 jets! I'd say that's at least 10 times the ratio of jets that actually exist out there in the world! Of course if we remove the DrIs, EIIIs and F-86s and F-15s that eliminates about half of each class immediately.

I'm feelin' ya Abu. No complaints here (except none of my shizzle made the cut [] ) Although Jorge Escalona's and Joe McBride's Yellow AC F/A-18 twins are in there, which both have my scale gear detail on them. So I got that goin' for me

And re: 10 X the ratio. I'm sure the ratio of jets to non-jets is far, far less than that, but jets are 10 X cooler, so it all equals out

Happy Thanksgiving kids. Even in these uncertain times, we've all got a lot to be thankful for!

I liked it a lot but (for me) it was a little too fast. Those were good pictures and a second or two longer would have given me a time to appreciate the model more.
However, I am 66 years old and life has slowed down for me. I like to take the time to smell the roses now.
Other than that, I think it was great.

The workmanship looks great, too bad the trash cans & house are in the photos(throws off the scale)

Fantastic-looking model.
Unfortunately, as Uncle Joe indicated, you've missed the point of this thread.
The thread is "best scale photo"...not "best scale model".
You stated that you've waited a long time...therefore, we must assume you've followed the thread, which leads me to believe that you KNOW what this threads' all about.
So I, for one, am cornfused why we'd see a pic taken in the backyard?
This model is so nice that a pic of it on a simulated tarmac somewhere could be really spectacular.
Do that, then repost. Then wait for the accolades.
Good luck,
Paul

Man....with the right scale background, that Waco would be hard to discern from the real deal.

Here's a couple of photos of my recently completed A-10 Warthog taking to the California skies. It has a 10' wingspan, weighs 55lbs, powered by a pair of Jetcat 120's and guided by a JR 12x and 1221 Rx, . The first pic is by John Christensen at Fresno Jets. The second by David Searles out at Buttonwillow (near Bakersfield). Thanks guys for your great lensmanship!

IMO. 1st photo is great but the back round (Giant hi voltage tower)make it look like a toy (See requirements for the thread) Outstanding shot by David (Head on shot)See you at Speed world.

I don't know I think the first shot is great. You could easily get the same shot on a full size depending how far you were from the plane and how close it was from the tower. Or at least I think so but again it is just my opinion.

Hello82
Guess I've been in this photography business too long and understand how a camera lens and prospective work . BTW the Ford flatbed truck in the weeds makes my point and sets the scale of the back round .

This a fly-by of my Balsa USA Fokker D-VII, modeled from Oblt. Erich Lowenhardt's plane, Commander of Jasta 10. It is powered by a Zenoah 38 and weighs 24 lbs. This is my best scale photo

Thanks
Rich

Hello Rich,

great model. I just wonder what they used those big black rods and the little black, protruding box underneath the top wing for - back in the first world war, that is...
