@Hitman,
I'm used to do my models with a pencil , I'm going to experiment with paintbrushing but thats for some future models.
its long since I done any so it was my idea to start with pencils first to get used to it again (last time I worked on models I used paint based on Oil..I miss that smell now.) its all water based these days.

Cool, I think I might buy an Il-2 model and make a good diorama.

What make would be best? I know there are a few.

I want a scalel model too!! I used to do quite a few of them as a kid, I had the Spitfire, M1 Abrams, Apache and German Torpedoboat.

Tho, over the years my patience-factor has been reduced so it would propably be like this now:

HA! I've worked in the movie biz for over 30 darn years. Worked is the key word. Thus all that spare time I have. LOL!!

And for this build you need a lot of spare time. RC coversion of course.

And here's a little something that IL2 has. The Huck. All RC jet. Scratch built. Flying for 4 years now. And yes the gear retract.

I ought to thank the US film industry for shipping out most of my work to Canada and Europe! LOL!!

Woah! Do you have any videos of your jet in flight?

[U812]

I do. I'll have to find them. I always get video. Then loose it on these 3 machines! LOL!!

Here's my scratch built ME P. 1101.





and my Mirage from a kit.



It's second flight:



and a short clip of the 1101 and it's working gear:



I'll look for the flight video soon.
