Great photos. Those were some really detailed and wonderful models. The large scale ones must have been pretty impressive up close.

Great pictures as always, Derek, but one thing puzzles me -

Thanks for the amazing pics!

Wompet .... lol but yep... thats a real model. Once you build a plane over a certain size you have to be a member of the LMA (Large Model Association) and have a certified special licience to fly them. You also have to notify and keep in touch with local aircraft control as well when your flying them. I think the model in the pic is a half size version of the real thing.
Up close they are all amazing.
I have to agree with a past comment here ... i dunno whats better either, Cilts/Kilts or Model Planes.
