And when I say 'large', I mean 1/48. Let's just say that the chap has some serious skills... and the serious toys/tools, to get the jobs done, as well...
I stumbled across him on Britmodeller, but he lots has more here:

And if you stick around to the end, there're a couple of pages of Winged Things, and the AC Ace he rebuilt... Serious Skills indeed.

Anyway, hope you enjoy the peruse.  :thumbsup:

And I've just found this also; restoring a WW2 MGB:

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Probably the best I've ever seen are those from Davie Jack of the Edinburgh Model Boat Club; British, American, German and now Soviet coastal masterpieces in 1/24th.
