Show 'n Tell

Gary Williams modified a 1/48 Revell Boeing B-17 F Flying Fortress to represent a B-17 E as flown by the 431st Bombing Squadron during the battle of Midway. Gary added a Koster nose canopy and scratch built the dorsal Bendix gun turret.
"Donna", Joel Hendricks' Teranodon has now been primed and is ready for some paint, with Tim Latham's coaching.

Rich Durham says that his Russian SSW, a 1/350 scale hobby Boss model, was a simple build.

Rex McCoy has painted his 1949 Ford, a 1/24 AMT kit, with Model Car World lacquer matching the original Ford color.

Jerry Brunson is working on a Dassault Mirage F1, a 1/48 scale Italeri model to which he will add aftermarket cockpit, jet exhaust, wheel wells, tires and struts.

Following a theme based on the assumption that Hitler would have been killed by his own people and that Germany's Nazi regimen would have survived, Dan King created this modern day Gestapo car from an Audi R8 kit made by Revell of Germany. Dan had to heavily modify the suspension to make the car look right.

Four 1/72 scale aircraft models from Craig Burke, all in his familiar "What-if" theme.

Ethan Idenmill has finished his M60 Blazer, a 1/72 ESCI model.
