G'day A'netters,

I found this awesome site whilst perusing the net the other day. This company makes large scale models of classic aircraft entirely from aluminium, steel and brass. The detail is amazing! They also make large scale ships, motorbikes, trains, and military vehicles, also of the same quality.

Surprised that the thread hasn't been punted into Hobby though. Wink

LOL! The company who makes these models goes out of it's way to not use any plastic on any of their models!

Your own efforts aren't half bad either Smile

. Apparently, the hardest part of making the airplane models was finding some way to batch make the external aluminium panels.

Yeah, I'm not sure why it appears twice. I'm sure I only added it once. I also put this thread in Tech / Ops for those that don't visit Hobby.
