Here are a couple that were thrown together pretty quick. Once again I see things in pictures I didn't see before such as how I forgot to touch up the guns (They were blue, right? :shock: ).

Dude, you must have a LOT of shelf space to accommodate the span of that predator! I'd leave the guns blue as in blue steel :wink:
Did you get the info I mailed to you?

Oh yeah! I did get the mail. Thanks! I haven't been feeling all that great the past few weeks so I spaced on letting you know. I don't have much room for 1/48 but the scheme is pretty cool.

I think the span on the Predator is aboout 10" or so. Now a Global Hawk may be a problem! Not sure if there's a reasonably affordable on in 1/72 yet.

i've never seen a predator model either. with their use & veratility i'm sure we'll be seeing alot more models of them. your corsair looks perfect. read an article in the latest air & space smithsonian mag about uav's / ucav's. regarding the operators in their little fraternity, they are are starting to come up with nicknames & monnikers like maverick & goose from top gun!!

There are UAV kits out in 1/72 and 1/48 but they're just so dang expensive. Not sure why as they don't seem to have many parts.

What i'm waiting on is a nice 1/72 Texan II

For the same reason that a bu++ugly 2012 CAMARO drop top costs $43K, because they can-and they know enough of you will-
