Just wondering if any of you guys make your own models, such as buying a plastic model and then painting and putting decals on it, etc... Anyone care to show some pictures? My first model I've made was an AH-64 Apache, my second one was an F-15 Eagle, and right now I'm currently working on my third model, an F/A-18 Hornet. The AH-64 looks like a slop since it was my first model ever to build and it's lopsided as well. The F-15 had a great improvement but the paint job doesn't look so great, that, and the fact that the nose cone fell off, so I have to fix that as well. I hope my F/A-18 will look at least a little better than my other two.

Who here actually makes their own models?

Let's see. I've built an F/A-18E Super Hornet a year back. Revell I think.
I also built a real nice B-1B Lancer a few months back. It's really detailed, manufactured by Panda Models. 1:144 scale.
I've also built a few smaller cheaper super-simple models like the F-4 Phantom (which I painted into 1960s US Navy colors), another B-1 Lancer, an F-14 Tomcat, C-5 Galaxy, an XB-70 Valkyrie, and a Tu-144 "concordski". Those were manufactured by Academy and are each roughly 8-10 inches long.
I hope your models go well. Good buildin' to ya!...

Slightly different, but...
These models are made out of card. The designs have been improved a lot since I built the aircraft in the photo.
