Almost done with my latest creation: The Messerschmitt BF-109. The model's got nice details like exhaust pipes, air scopes, antennas, etc.

Any comments? Cheesy

This... Is Rio.

Loud and talkative Bengal cat. He's not ours; his owner lives two houses down, but he wanders around the neighborhood getting food and talking to his human friends. He'll sometimes get into a fight if he meets another cat though... But it's rare because he's kicked out all other cats in the neighborhood. He thinks all the houses are his too...
I came up with the name "ilikerio" way back in 4th grade, and I've used it with most user accounts ever since.

All I have to do now is:
1.) Run a thread from the control thingy behind the canopy to the rudder
2.) Install the machine guns, cannons, and pitot tubes
3.) glue on the prop (I always do this last because I'm clumsy and might end up bending the propeller blades Grin

)

Well done

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

I think you mean the radio aerial mast. The aerial runs from the mast to the top of the fin (vertical stabilizer).

Flying with twins is a lot of fun..

Pretty good... He slept in our garage last night. I made a little tent-like thing out of blankets for him. Roll Eyes

Way, way more patience than me. I have given paper models a go and it was a disaster. I will stick to plastic and wood.

Really? I think plastic models require waaay more patience. Paint... Let sit for like 12 hours to dry... Then you glue... Takes too long! Undecided

With paper models you just cut and glue. And they can fly too! ..Depending on the model... Tongue

Paper models aren't as detailed but you get more fun out of them. Grin

Yeah, but it's hard because I'd have to make the cockpits custom... Sad

Even so, the aircraft don't have all the antennas and pitot tubes and little details like that. Tongue
