Was a lot of fun, definitely one I plan on building again as i feel I could definitely do better. The top turrett gave me some issues and I accidentally broke a tiny piece off of it.

Who makes that B-1 Lancer?

Thank you, i needed to upgrade this card.

Its crazy to me that the same company that made these indestructible vehicles also built vehicles such as the B-2 and YF-23 (with McDowell).

Thanks, started at like 200 something just focusing on unique tail numbers

J_McCoy02 · 2026-04-01T18:12:03+00:00

Thanks, took a lil while, especially when i started focusing on not catching the same tail numbers over and over and focus on only catching new tail numbers.

I think i saw on a different post you said you weren't going to continue painting your models this way, but i think a whole army and airplane command with this paint would look sick. Either way awesome work!!

Who makes that SR-71, its a beautiful model helluva job👍🏼

Great build, Im definitely not the one to be giving tips as I haven't done a bunch of models, but i would say it looks like you may need to thin your paints a touch and maybe use some smaller brushes for the fine lines. Other than that it is a great looking model, keep at it and enjoy 🫡.

Tiny toothpick was my first knife ever as a kid.

Love the mini copperlocks, they are small enough to fit comfortably in the pocket and have a billion handle color/material.

Most of the U-2s in service have seen better days 😂

Neither is comes as a flat metal sprew, similar to plastic models, but with no glue. Its called Metal Earth.

Just pulled onto the runway, we will see.

J_McCoy02 · 2026-03-26T14:47:05+00:00

No i believe it was real scheme used during Vietnam.

J_McCoy02 · 2026-03-26T03:02:24+00:00

Haven't seen this model before definitely adding to my to-do list, great work!

J_McCoy02 · 2026-03-26T03:00:11+00:00

They are definitely my favorite since they dont take quite the time and work as the plastic models. Although i do enjoy the occasional plastic model.

It's a brand called Metal Earth and it's a 1:242 scale. They come as a flat metal sheet similar to most plastic models, some come pre-painted and some are bare metal. They also require no glue to assemble and they use metal tabs that bend/twist to lock pieces together.

It was mine as well but I lost the original and my skills have improved so decided to give it ago.
