NAVY & MILITARY Planes in 1/200 - Page 130

Checking the serial nos of this thread results in finding that S/no. 112 had been missed.
It should have been Gerry 1966's WW2 carrier planes - Fairey Barracuda Mk II FAA, Eastern Fleet
1944-1945. Could I have sent it somewhere?????

Not a clue why it wasn't there. Seem to remember having asked on the forum
whether the colour of the Barracdua was a bit too dark. Anyway, it is re-presented here
as a start of the WW2 warbirds. Gerry's originals should be 1/400 if I'm correct
but I have enlarged it to 1/200.

Very nice, it has been some time since you posted something tiny.
Working propeller, nice touch!

Looking at the detail and size of these creations gives me an idea but, I think it better to cure migraines rather than start them. No idea how you achieve this level of result but, really nicely done Sir.

very nice looking models in your series

No. 116 in this series is the WW2 warbird, Hawker Sea Hurrican Mk IIC FAA,
in Escort Carriers ASW Scheme, which is another great design by Gerry 1996.
The roundels on the fuselage were a bit off center and I have corrected them.
Added engine exhausts and antenna as modifications.

I know, man, that these little things are that well done is just nuts. It's like Papermate has taken the laws of physics and tossed them out that little round window over there.

Thank you guys for stopping by. There're others doing crazier things going up to 1/400
or even higher. I'm just ordinary nut doing ordinary nuts do. I dunno, Gerry 1966 has done
something 40ish different WW2 carrier warbirds and there's still a long way to go, haha.

Another beautiful airplane and model, Papermate. I like the in-flight shots.
