Looks good, Daayda!
Might try airbrushing the paint on-if you can swing the cost of the brush. Lots better finish!

I like them! Not too many ladies in the fine scale modeling hobby these days. Glad you're trying it out.
Have you tried these guys?

There's a guy named Phil "Bondo" Brandt who has done some incredible scratchbuilt stuff.
I'll say that your accomplishments are far better than any model I've ever built.:bowing: :bowing:

Wow, that takes me back. I grew up crafting many models, since my dad was a test and fighter pilot. The horse models (equine) were not a challenge at all, so I picked up jets. Then old single-engines. Biplanes are pretty challenging. Hmm, then some cars. Good work, girl, just keep it up!! You'll only get better.
Advice as an artist on photos---keep all that crap out of there, fit the model on a large clean backdrop that fits completely. If you want to show scale, use a ruler.

Are they all 1/72 scale?
I second the photo backgroud tip. You could maybe get a piece of light gray posterboard and draw lines on it to simulate a concrete runway. Though the lava lamp and the green parachutes are funny. Your models are way better than the ones I did when I was 12!
I read that you usually want to go light with damage on a model, unless you're doing a crashed plane. Though there are some exceptions ( like those B-17's that managed to get back with 1/3 of the plane gone ) most of the time anything really dramatic would down a plane, and bullet holes in scale are really small.
