Did this Me-109E yrs ago. Great flier, still have it and fly her a couple times a year. She is looking a little rough after many flights and the move to TN. Maybe a repaint in the future.

April 2010
My buddy Bryan(ATIS) is deploying later this year to take care of the bad guys. He loves TBMs so I did a repaint into the South Pacific tri-color scheme and gave it to him at SEFF. He worked on it there and has it all ready to go.
Here are the new repaint pics.

Should have added this thread too. Poor man's way to get a clear canopy for your favorite model. Bit of a learning curve but anyone can do it.

1/7th Me-109F from Hans-Joachim plans. Had some trouble getting it trimmed and then with a spinner prolem but once it was fixed it flew wonderfully.
Big airplane. My build starts in his thread at page 4. Powered by an AXI 2820/12
Just finished a repaint of this model, April 2010, in time for SEFF.
Also fixed a building problem I had with it, too much dihedral. I sawed the wing in half and glued it back to the correct 5.75 dgrees each side. Beely pan that I neglected originally was also installed. Paint looks so much better than my original did.

This is my 120% Hans-Joachim F-16. My build starts around page 250, final paint pics on page 279. It's a big airplane at 120% of his original.
Originally flew on 4s with a SPJ but kept burning motors up. Got some damned heat damage at SEFF in 2008. Flew later with a Scorpion 3020-1200. Flew very nice with it. May go to a little bigger motor, the 3026-890.
She's hanging in the shop, will get her down someday and fix the heat damage and remotor. Nice flier as all of Hans' designs are and looks awesome in the air.

F-100 from beanie's plans. My second F-100. I did modify to an airfoiled wing.
Quick build and mine starts on page #1. This is a great everyday flier.

This is my second MIG-21 built this one off beanie's plans and in his thread starting on page 68, post# 1009. I modded the plans by making a fiberglass fuse and they were enlarged to 1/8th scale. It's a good size plane! This plane has gone through some evolution. First flown with a single SPJ in the tail, then twin SPJ's in wing tanks with the wing changed from flat plate to airfoil. Also a repaint after I got tired of the lackluster silver effort I made at it.
It may get another update with a single Scorpion in the rear, 3026-890. Still trying to decide.

Corsair Nut and I were to do this together, he started the thread and then didn't build it. Young guys get distracted easily.

Just finished a remotor. Scorpion 3026-890 on XPS 4s-5000 30/50C
Rebuilt the rear of the tanks with fins. Also removed the cooling scoops from the tanks.
