After the Comback

[dmminiatures]

Hello gents, seeing everyone elses gallery, I'd like to share models that I have build after my third comeback into the hobby, around 2002. Here are those I manage to take images and those that were saved after the house renovation. (i think i lost about two dozen tanks, aircrafts)

Some kits I made when I was doing professional modeling. everything is spit and polished as that was what my clients wanted.

Revell Eurofighter Typhoon in 1/72 scale



Revell F-15E Strike Eagle in 1/48 scale



Eduard Yak-3 in 1/48 scale



Hasegawa P-40E Warhawk in 1/48 scale



Tamiya (Italeri) Su-34 Strike Flanker in 1/72 scale



Hasegawa F-14D Tomcat in 1/48 scale



Hasegawa Su-27 Flanker in 1/72 scale



Hasegawa Tornado IDS in 1/72 scale



Tamiya F4U-1 Birdcage Corsair in 1/48



Revell A-1 Skyraider in 1/48 scale



Revell MiG-21F-13 Fisheb in 1/72 scale

Then...it happened. After building more than 50 commissioned models...I got burned. real bad.

I took a short break, went back to school, got my grad degree and started making models again. this time. just for fun!

Here are some of them

Hasegawa F-4E Phantom II in 1/72 scale



Italeri C-140H Hercules in 1/72 scale



Academy P-38L Lightning in 1/48 scale



Academy P-51C Mustang in 1/72 scale



Testor OV-10A Bronco in 1/48 scale



Hasegawa AV-8B Harrier II in 1/48



Academy F-14A Bombcat in 1/48 scale



Tamiya A-10A Thunderbolt II in 1/48 scale

Beautiful work. I like them all!

Monty, you rock, dude. I remember the 33 from the last unmentionable site. Quite the build.

[dmminiatures]

Thanks Lyle and Paul. yeah the 3333 was quite a build. waspartially build and I almost gave up.

Jim - the only 1/32 i made so far is this Trumpeter MiG-17PF. i was struggling hard man. it was a bad kit to start with plus zero experience in 32 scale

I was petty much in shock when I saw the kits quality. I think the underlying cause of me crawling on my knees working on this kit is I wasnt ready in managing my expectations. An example: beefing up an empty 1/72 or 1/48 cockit is piecemeal. but detailing a 1/32 scale cockpit..its a different ball game. that I had to understand after the fact.

Great work Monty! Brilliantly executed. And interesting to see some Indonesian subjects. Those do not get modelled very often.
