All beautiful builds. Superb. I especially like the Twotter, 190 and Culver.

All the best.

It's great to see you can still do new things with a mainstream subject, especially when they're such good models too. Top work, Navy One.

UH-71 looks smart, but they all look interesting.

Excellent selection and those really are unusual Navy types. I bet a Starfighter would be a challenge to put down on a carrier deck :shock: :grin:

All good, I have to agree the 190 seems to suit that colour scheme (or is it the other way around?!). Like the helo too.
Hoping to return to modelling sometime this year!! :lol:

There are no unusual Navy aircraft. It is the other services that have all the oddballs.
