      Nice work, Dolphus! So you are really a man of wide interest - from sea to sky.
      Please keep the updates coming.
      BTW it looks like Cessna T 37?

              Cool plane, Dolf. Will you put texture/materials on it?

              Have a great one!

                Hi dolf,

                great stuff so far! I've also been modeling aircraft for a while now, here's a thread I posted a while back with some of my airplanes: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=26709

                  Numbthumb thanks for your encouraging comment
                  ken28875 I always try to make my models as accurate and "real life" as possible, with aircraft I am fond of trying to duplicate a particular plane flown by a named pilot, not always possible ...but i try so to answer your question as much detail. markings etc as possible
                  Ultimatez 32 I had a look at your thread your models look cool thanks for sharing

                      Well, from what I have seen so far, Dolphus I am expecting nothing less from you this time.

                      I was wondering how dcauldwell´s Sopwith Pup was coming along? 😉

                        What are all the antennae on the elevators? Looks like a spy plane used to do radio intercepts.

                                            Excellent work, Dolphus! Do you ever take a break?
                                            My guess would also be one of those Bell47 M.A.S.H helicopters. I am undecided about the version - H, maybe G.
