Many thanks Don! Now is time for something different. In fact a surprise on theme.

On my front I finished my own F2A Buffalo recolor by Garry. Garry posted his own build already so I'll keep it brief and just show of pictures. Enjoy.

I think I figured out how to do nice close ups with old smartphone. Light is the key.

I didn't know paint of my car looked so much like water seen from above. Sparkles,color and all. I should exploit it further

As I was making those pictures on my local McD parking a kid with his dad noticed me and inquired. Long story short-model is stationed now in secret forward base somewhere in Brampton Ont.

I did too. You've got to actually have one.

F2A-3 looks great Karol.

Thank you so much. I have been learning a lot about these planes!

To let Don know that I am still working on this, here is a WIP shot on a repaint.

I have to get my GC on the cowling to line up, and the transition line between blue gray and light gray needs to get fixed as well, but we are progressing.

Your Claude is outstanding; a difficult set of complex lines in paper.

Here is my build of Pericles recolor of Bruno's D4Y Judy. It is in colors of one first Judy's flown operationally and it was flown during Battle of Midway.

Only one was flown on recon mission (other was damaged) and it did spot US Navy carriers leading to a chain of major events. This was one of many situations when one plane did make a major difference in that battle.

Enjoy the pictures.

Note-for some reason cooler intake is far too large-it should be reduced.

Bruno has this model in refurbed version with different tail markings it's number 3105 (inline engine) and 3107 (radial engine).
