wow, spectacular. The 747 dwarfs the 7 foot span B-2. Awesome. Where do you store all those huge models?
Very creatively..
I have also built a few racks of PVC and aluminum for my RCs to store as much as I can vertically.

Those look way too good to risk flying! But I could say that about most of our Museum planes too!

B-29, so you’re that guy all over the 1/18 groups on Facebook with the B-17
You have done some amazing work on your RC B-17 conversion project and your model is stunning

Yeah, I’m that guy. Thanks for the kind words. Now all I need is for it to survive the cross country drive tomorrow without any damage.

FYI, new RC F-22 coming to the market. Approximately 1/16.5 scale. Surface details are a bit exaggerated, but the outline isn’t bad:
