Looking good SARFlytitus! I'm working on the markings/stenciling on this Lightning. Still a ton to add to the fuselage and then the wings.

This isn't mine, but this guy on FB has a great page and some of his work is next level. This post shows an animated Dauntless with an engine fire.

@No_85_Gramps  I admit the Lightning isn't in my personal top ten list but... WOW! Beautiful livery, you transformed a frog into a gorgeous pin-up. Truly a beautiful job M8, Bravo !

Thank you! I swear I spent more time with the markings/stencils than the actual build. 12 decals for the canopy alone, I got 8 and called it quits.

Not an airplane, but anyway..)
Here is my Z-43. The model has a lot of problems, but I would say that this is my training model, so don't kick me too much :)

Been a while since I made an aircraft and I’m currently doing some caring for my parents and needed something to do. Nipped out to the nearest crafts and hobbies shop (which was pants) and bought just enough stuff to build a tamiya 1/48 sea harrier. Which, after reading about it, is a model lacking detail. It very much is. Turns out this was lucky as the brushes I bought were not much cop. 
Anyway, I enjoyed building it but gave up on the millions of tiny stencil decals, maybe jets aren’t my thing…
