    As far as nose art and the like, you are absolutely correct!!! Nobody like the good 'ole USA!!! Love it!!!

    Thank you Sir!!! That makes me smile!! As far as the payment, yes it was a bummer, but I really loved doing the F-15. I have a Freewing Eagle in the box, so it may just get the same paint job!!! :Cool: And the L1011 was a bear, but it sure turned out nice. Like a Corvette hood... HA!!!

    That's a 10 - nice work!

    ... one of the reasons I do not usually do these jobs for hire. You should also ask for double what you expect to weed out the deadbeats. They will have a 'one of a kind' model - you deserve to paid for creating that.

    Thank you brother! I do love the hobby. Foam is soooooooo much easier! But I still have a few balsa kits that need to be built! And 11 from MRC still in the box!! :Cool::)

    This is a Westcraft B-17G. Did the repaint and also gutted her and replaced the .46 two strokes with .82 Saito four strokes and all new wiring and servos, scale cockpit, etc. Made it war weary and shot full of 20mm and flak. We won first place at the B-17 Fly-In at Bomber Field in Monaville, TX in 2008. Going to do a new paint job and refurb for the show this year. The 30th anniversary of the B-17 Fly-In. I am the builder/painter, Robert (center) is the owner, and Bill (right) is the pilot.... Good times!!!

    Painted this big Extra 330 for a customer, and we called it a FW 330! His comments were that is was hard to see in the air, and boy does that camo work! LOL

    They had the plane delivered to Phoenix (KSDL) and came to us for the week! We have 360 days, average, flying weather each year.
