Very clean machine. Well done!

Clean build, and looks nice in gold, but that blue is just gorgeous on a '58! I would never have expected to like it as much as I do! Nice collection.

Hey look, there's a car, too!

Interior work is very impressive so far, can't wait for more!

She's a looker in gray! Very appealing finish, and clean build make me wish I had an extra hand to give it three thumbs-up!

Another absolutely real and believable appearing model! Well done variation, and that's a sharp shade of blue; really complements the "wood". Good job.

Nice save!

I had to go to eBay to see the COBI kits available, and it is mind-boggling what they have available! (Budget boggling, too) The armor kits are pretty cool for what they are, and several of the plane kits are rather interesting. I saw a P-38 that looked like fun, but there are SO MANY! They have planes, armor, submarines, ships, even a humongous Titanic. The bigger kits have scary prices, but nowhere near Lego-crazy, and not really bad these days for what I'd consider a premium quality toy. I'm impressed with their approach to modeling real subjects, and the quality of the pieces themselves. Your plane, for example, is incredibly opaque in appearance, and red at that, so it avoids a "plastic-y" appearance. Red pigment isn't particularly strong in any medium, so no corners were cut in that respect. Good stuff, and thanks for introducing me to it!

Looks good! There is something so satisfying about a nostalgia build; the memories come flooding back, and you get that shot of self-satisfaction in seeing how well you can do the kit now versus that first attempt. Fun stuff!

Oh, absolutely post 'em! This is just neat. Sometimes you need a simple construction to clear the cobwebs, or at least I do. I find the engineering of these things very interesting, and myself couldn't resist picking up one of the new Airfix car kits that build up in a similar fashion, and have yet to assemble it, but the bits in the box are intriguing in their design. I suspect it must be much the same for you with this kit. I'll always take a look at a model if the subject interests me, whether you carve it from soap, chisel from rock, or assemble from plastic!

Nicely done! Very clean build with realistic finishing.

Yep, that's a pretty cool save right there. Looks perfectly appropriate for a paint shop truck!

Very nice work on this kit, looks nicely realistic. What a beauty!

Very attractive color scheme/livery on this racer. Very well done!

Very nice builds, Tony. Thank you for posting them! More proof here that model building need not be complicated to be enjoyable,and the results of careful crafting on simple kits can be quite impressive. I'm not one for civil air subjects, but your build of that Comet is a real looker, and I'd be proud to display that on my shelf! As a bonus, the box art is simply gorgeous, something lost on too many "modern" kits. (Who wants to pay artists, right?) That P-47 looks as nice as anyone's in your photo; very well done kit. It looks like FROG appreciated the most fundamental aspect of a model in that proportions and shapes must be correct first, or details won't matter.

Very nice job on this classic! Brings back memories...

Very cool car model taking shape here. I like how you've treated each sub-assembly as a model all its own. Interior has a nice "feel" to the finishes that adds realism, and don't get me started on that engine bay; just NIIIIICE!

Very nice scratch-building! Interior is impressive already. Will you add any sort of rivet detailing?

Came out very nice, and the bright red is gorgeous! Really like your chassis work; nicely done.

Very nice Merc. Love the low key color and clean build. What a beautiful car, and one of my favorite auto roof-lines of all time.

Sweet! You really brought that thing to life!

This is fun, and the extra detailing goes a long way toward creating a believable model. I like to add a few extra bits to my Tom Daniel and Dave Deal kits, too.

Appears to be working fine!

Welcome to the forum! Owensboro's a nice town. I've got friends and family there and the surrounding area. Not a long move from Evansville!
