Very nice group of models. You might think about listing them individually to give them & yourself justice.

You've got quite the production line going John. Good looking models sure would like to know more about them.

All good stuff - I really like the C-47.

I didn't think the Hobby Craft / Academy bf-109 kits had separate leading edge slants?

A diverse range of subjects with a consistently high standard of modelling - they look great. I especially like the civilian DC-3 and the twin Mustang.

You've certainly been busy, great models, they deserve separate postings.

John, you are a modeling machine!
Did you use the gunship kit, or modify the C-47 with the paratroops?
I got to see one of them in action while I was overseas one evening. It was impressive, and scary.
Great bunch of builds, beautifully done.
