Today I finally finished up a commission build for a friend on another Forums. This is the Dragon 1/72 scale F-6F 5N Hellcat night fighter. This is one of nine models I finished up this week. The rest are shown below....

Thanks for the awesome comments and compliments guys! They are all most appreciated.
The camouflage pattern on the Japanese tank was done with Silly Putty as a mask. Marco, I also love how the KZKT turned out.

Thanks guys! I'm thrilled to see your comments. Robbo, I've been trying. I've been lucky that I had a few 'empty' days to just marathon some of these to the finish line.
Thanks Boots! I like those tractors too; They were faster and easier to build than I expected and really do look good!

After posting those pics of the F-6 Hellcat, some sharp-eyed members on a couple other Forums noticed a major mistake I'd made. Here is the corrected model all finished... properly now. See if you can spot the difference: Now that this is truly done, I'll be making arrangements for delivery here. Thanks again everyone!

Here's another post showing my latest model completed for April. Here she is, my latest model finished this month. This is the Monogram 1/72 scale Space Shuttle with Boosters finally completed. I did her up as the Columbia: This model is over two feet tall. I placed a 12" ruler next to this model to show how big this is: This thing had been a problem sitting on my workbench for the longest time. I'm so thrilled to have finished it! Now I have a different problem: Where am I gonna put this?

Tim, I'm not quite sure what you mean. I did them exactly like all the reference photos showed that two other modelers sent me to show my first mistake. Please show anything that proves these wrong. Man, this commission has given me more trouble than I've ever had in my entire model-building history!!

Sorry Duke, it has got lost in translation. What I mean is that the undercarriage was inside out but now corrected. First pictures no wheel visible second set of pictures wheels visible.
I am therfore assuming this was the difference you wished observed.
