Here is a project my friend, Andy Meyers (Spec Ops Models) is working on. He's doing this for a friend of his that actually flew the plane and commissioned Andy to build it for him. Once It's complete, it will be displayed in a gallery.

I took one look at the pictures and was COMPLETELY blown away! Just goes to show there are a lot of different things we do besides figures.

Enjoy,
Jim Patrick

That is an awesome build Andy. I hope we can see pics of it when it is finished.

The famous mach 3, reconnaissance aircraft. Would love to see the finished result.

cheers,
Marcel.

Thanks guy's for the comments.
It's bin a fun project working on this big model. Glad I have a big shop to work on something this size.
I did a lot of jet models for the Air Force
But this one out of all of them is my favorite jet.
Still a lot of body work to be done on the plane and will keep you guy's posted on the progress of the SR-71 model.
The SR-71 model will be a lot more detailed since it will be inside a gallery.

Thanks for posting the SR-71 model Jim.

Cheers,

Andy

Here are some finished models I did for the Air Force.

RC-135 jet
Predator Drone
U-2 Spy Plane
U-28 jet
The RC-135 is 18' feet long

And the wingspan for the U-2 was 18' feet long.

Fabulous work Andy! It must be quite a challenge to not only make these at a large scale but also weather proof! Kudos!

Thank you Gordy,
Yes it is a lot of work.
All the plane's have to be fiber-glassed and then after that is done.
I still have to do the body work.
Lots of auto filler and sanding and more sanding...fun...fun..
Once everything is finished with the body work, I paint them in a UV-Auto paint to weather proof them. Just like working on a car..
Some of the plane models take a few months to finish.

Andy,

Thanks John,

Some fantastic works Andy!
But the blackbird will be my favorite.

Cheers,
Marcel.

Thanks Marcel,
I should have some more update picture's of the SR-71 model in a few days.

Cheers,
