Here are a couple I have recently completed. I don't have any pics of the commissioned work that I've done but I'm trying to get copies.

The F-14 was a complete rebuild/repaint with parts added from a model kit. It was stripped down to the bare metal and the nose was completely fabricated as the old nose had a massive chunk missing. I left this one with a glossy "factory finish" because that's what I wanted, but I can also weather, filter/wash etc.

The F-16 was also a complete repaint with a fabricated pitot tube as the old one was broken. Flat paints used
Notice the black between the turkey feathers to give it a more scale appearance

This last one is just a small detail. I didn't like how they did incorporate the black around the canopy with this release. so I did it myself. Unfortunately this meant taking the entire plane apart to do it right.
