Hello Mayhem Participants,

Here is my FMS F-18 F/A customized in the livery of VMFA-115 although the original was an F-18 C single seat. Couldn't take my eyes off the colorful paint scheme. Should be easy to get good visuals on it i the pattern.....
Graphics are from Callie.

This is a MOTIONRC contest, not a FMS contest

Hi pilots,

certainly not the most spectacular entry in this competition. But aging a model is all about constantly holding back. I just wanted a light weathering that better shows off what basically is already there: All those fantastic little details of this great Freewing Corsair. No filters, no editing on the first picture, some editing done on the second one for all of you Instagram-guys. Please, feel free to decide which one you prefer!
Regards, josch!

I’m Hi guys. Recently finished my F18 changing the livery from the blue angels scheme to the Canadian NORAD display schemes. Very pleased with the way she turned out and thanks to Callie for supplying awesome decals
set.

The FW Twin 80mm A-10 redone in the Arctic Thunder Scheme. Mods include:

* Arctic Camo repaint using HD spray Rustoleum (in case it gets wet) and hand painted testors gloss enamel
* Graphics by Callie
* 3D Printed cockpit courtesy of Dirty Dee Designs
* Jet Hangar Hobby 1/10 Scale Full Body Pilot
* Trailing Link nose gear for grass ops
* Reinforced nose section with carbon fiber tubes
* AR637T RX with satellite and hundreds of RF Chokes
* 4 Coats of exterior clear gloss Spar Urethane

This is probably my best flying EDF, takes off with ease, flies incredible fully loaded and lands like a "kitty cat". It's big, beautiful and finally for me with this scheme, easy to follow it's orientation. All I need is some snow here in S Florida to make it feel like home.

Have always loved your graphic work Hugh. It's a vivid scheme along with so many of your other great works. Super stuff...

I'm not sure my pic in post 111 showed enough wing detail and it looks like there is some stiff competition in the Canadian CF-18 demo jet category (2018 and 2017 are my two favourites!) so I am uploading this photo which shows more of the detail graphics on each of the wings and horizontal stabilizers should they end up in a head to head comparison.

Fantastic rendition. I'm a Canuck and I like the fact that you have tackled that scheme....Nice!...

Hello everybody,
This is my Freewing f-16 super scale 90mm in the colors of the 2020 Belgian Air Force solo display flown by Vador.
It is called the Dark Falcon.

First Class Man! Excellent graphic execution. Prize winner!....

[Pete]

I upgraded by adding lights and better speed controller.
Thank you Guys for your job. Great planes. Everybody is a Winner just being in this hobby.
Good luck all Pilots.

For my submission to the contest I’ll take you back to 1943 in the South Pacific preparing for a mission. :)

She’s big, she’s bad!!! F4U-1D!!

in this case a single picture can’t tell the story of what I’ve done to this bird but figured this would at least be fun :)

The bird was repainted, weathered, 3D printed cockpit, 3D printed rockets, 3D printed 500lb bombs, wire antennas added, machined aluminum left wing pitot tube, Robart main wheels and though not shown in this picture 3d printed pylons and External Fuel Tanks.

About the picture, I had someone approach me about making a kind of miniature scene of some of my RCs to photograph... This was one of several and very hard to decide what to use lol.

The RC Jeep, the dirt/sand, 3 palms, and the Corsair is real! The background was added after. The actual picture I like is a black and white but felt it took a bit away from the Corsair.

Hope you guys really enjoy it!! “We are poor little lambs who have lost our way” bah bah bah!!

Added a 3rd picture less complex. If it makes the 64 cut, use whatever you like for a pic.
