They look like they could actually pull a hundred real  lifesize Top Gons down the track. Great job.

Thanks ! If the pic of the 60 had rails and a blue back drop its hard to tell it's a model ( from far away ) I tried a different method on these two ! I sprayed them first with a dusting of gull gray all over  , then I watered down some dark skin tone brown and concentrated on just trucks and fuel tank ect. I only used black powder for the exhaust areas then a sandy color on the areas where the sanders are! I think some engines look better used
