1/700 Aircraft Collection (Pit-Road and scratchbuilt)
- Air Force One. Scratchbuilt and custom decals. Scratched limo. If you look closely you can see the current president and first-lady waving from atop the stairs.
- USAF C-32 VIP transport. Scratchbuilt and custom decals
- USAF C-5B. PitRoad
- An-124. Scratchbuilt and custom decals.
- An-225. Scratchbuilt and custom decals. Largest aircraft in the world. This version fits in the palm of my hand.
Some info on each:
Update: Some additional shots of my giant; a scratchbuilt 1/700 scale An-225. The model was built using a carved wood dowel with sheet plastic surfaces and plastic tubing for engines and other details. Custom decals depict its current livery for Antonov cargo. This was a ‘must build’ as soon as I saw it for the first time. It’s shown being serviced on a U.S. airport ramp.
