Here are two, then three 1/72 scale aircraft together. Interesting to compare scale tto one another I think. Hope you enjoy. Russell

A trio of splendid models!

The bases really improve presentation.

Hello Russell, nice job on the models, especially the Flying Wing. I hear that it is a bear of a kit to build. I agree about building to a constant scale, it really brings out the size difference between some subjects. One thing I would mention is the growth on the base for the F-82, it seems a little overdone for the tarmac on an active base. It looks good on the base for the Japanese aircraft which is a dirt strip. One other thing that helps to bring out size is a figure or two. People can relate to the relationship of a figure to the object it is standing next to. Al
