PHENOMENAL MODEL!!! An interesting take on the Mustang, Reno type mods combined with a military scheme. Great overall detail too with "believable" ink lines, well thought out and roughly scale-like, not just another example of generically chasing around a model with a ruler and a Sharpie. Coolest model seen here in a long time! H^^
Ditto! The man is an animal!

I have found that Joe is incredibly helpful with all aspects of our hobby. He's willing to teach you all of his "trade secrets" in the shop and help you fly better when we're at the field.
Joe has a back bedroom in his home where he stores/displays his models.I've got to get permission to video the collection of his masterpieces and share them here on Stunthanger. I don't know how he does it. Each model looks perfect to me. Cheers,Skip

How the heck does he build like that, and still find time to keep a nearly spotless shop? ;D

George ,Joe is not a computer/Forum guy. He doesn't have a computer in the home and goes to the computer room in the clubhouse at his development to check emails and such.Skip I couldn't agree more with helping people out. I had viewed his work in Wndy videos. At last years Philly contest I introduced myself to him. Next thing I knew he invited me to sit in his car and discussed every aspect of building, finishing, and expectations of my first Nats for 2019. It was a very pleasant experience and I'm so glad I approached him. To say I was pleasantly surprised would be an understatement.

I've been telling Joe about the very nice comments from our friends here on Stunthanger. I could tell he was moved emotionally by the positive feedback regarding his P51. One day I'll try to go over with him to his clubhouse computer and get him on Stunthanger. No promises ,I'll see if he's open to it......Skip
Sure would be great to see Joe jump on board here. y1
