Finally finished restoration of “Big Bertha” Piedmont Airlines Boeing 727-200. This was a challenging project due to her size! She belongs to a recently retired airline pilot who lives in NC.

Finally finished the Northrop YB-49 Flying Wing for my client. Instead of using silver paint, I decided on applying real metal foil panels for the finish. This build took me around 4 months to complete. The most time consuming part of this build was hand burnishing the foil panels. Well worth the time as it looks real.
