Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Nice ones Roel, especially the Harrier and of course the SR-71 as last of your series. Nice appropriate 'spooky' lighting!

Thankfully you used your time to picture some dioramas. And they are indeed very well made...

The dioramas are very beautiful indeed!
So... the F35 is already a collectors item? :)

Hi Roel,

The last SR71 is brilliant. Just change the background to a mat black and you have a poster that will sell!

Best,
Anno

looks like everyone is sitting behind the computer watching Roel's pictures, because none of them is to be seen anymore because of too many views.
