You're modeling air-to-air missiles at this scale???? Not sure if that's genius or madness, but I love it either way! Well done Bill!

Madness is probably closer to the truth.

With Brilliance comes a degree of madness. The big question, do you use this madness to achieve greatness.... I believe you have. Thanks for the stunning pictures. I am happy to see you and all the great ones posting again. It is fueling my desire.
Quantity has a Quality all its own.

Cool aircraft, Bill. A question though. Does the missile have a magnet on the end to connect to the fighter? If not, how is it connected?

It’s actually a modified pipe cleaner and the end is wrapped around the right fuel tank.

Those aircraft look really nice, Bill! The pipe cleaner missiles are a really cool effect as well.
