  1. Looks great Brian... Two thumbs up Sir !

  2. Another example of why ya can't go wrong when it says Tamiya on the box...beautiful build, sir.

  3. Hi Brian, while I don't disagree with Craig's comment above, it still takes a lot of skill to build them to this kind of level, I think your neat work has really brought out the best of this kit.

  4. Nice looking "Ford"!

  5. Very nice Brian. I like the look. Great job.

  6. The FORD is one of my favourite US Navy jets. Come to think of it all US Navy jets are my favourites. Albeit, you did an amazing job on this kit. The striking decals rounds it off nicely! Well done!

  7. Love the Skyray - there's not a "bad angle" on that airplane. Your model is superb.

  8. Nicely done Brian, that Skyray really looks sharp. It's a winner for sure in any contest.

  9. Nice job. I’m ashamed to admit that mine has been in the deep storage section of the stash since I bought it 20byears ago. Inspiration!

  10. Looks like a box top/Goldilocks build that any manufacture would love to have on the side of their box. Two thumbs up.

  11. A beautiful aircraft an this is a terrific representation; the build is gorgeous, tight, clean, and 'feels' real. Loved your Skyraider and this is every bit as impressive.

  12. Always a favorite, beautifully done!

  13. VERY well done, Brian. Great photos, too!

  14. Excellent build Brian!

  15. Outstanding work, Brian! I have two Ford's in the stash and hope mine turn out as beautifully as your build. Well done, sir!
