the Commonwealth Boomerang was a bit on the stubby side...the RAAF did have other more aesthetically pleasing planes back in WW2,such as the Spitfire. thx for the fave!

I LOVE the spitfire!

don,t worry,you,re not alone...to many older Britons,a Spit is almost an object of worship. "never in the field of human conflict,was so much owed by so Many,to so Few"

Have you ever read that book, "The Few" by Alex Kershaw?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You should. You'd probably like it. It's about the American pilots who flew for the RAF before the US came into the war.
I read it a while ago because the Barnes and Nobles by my school was going out of business and I got it for close to nothing

i do know a bit about them,they were called the Eagle Squadrons. in 1940,the RAF wasn,t being fussy anymore about stuff,they just needed pilots,period!{it really takes much longer to produce a trained man than to make a plane,even a Spitfire!}

Give it a go, that's exactly what it's about.

You made this with a propeller that can move? Cool.

almost mistook it for real,yes?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, all of your planes fall under that category because you make them so real-looking.

just a free-spinning propeller,and a puff of air...convincing,yes?

Yes... But what's irritated you so much?

Interesting. It looks very compact, like a Volkswagon Bug of airplanes.

I love that stubby little bugger, it looks like some quality work.

This is your best photo yet lately in many ways, IMHO
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
More views, closer up, better focus, more difuse lighting, better backgound, nicer shadow, to name a few. IMHO
over your already usually excellent work of course, meaning you are a master modeler but your image editing/enhancements, staging and general photography I think have improved along those lines recently

did you see some of my very first ones...? i have gotten better.

Truly an awesome-looking plane here. Thanks again for this, and don't worry about it being late. Again, it was awesome of you to do this for me.

Awww 
Did you spin that or does it work on a battery?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
just a puff of air on the prop...and a quick snap of the digicam...caught it just right! very convincing,yes?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, that worked out really well
