I made some new pictures from the cw001643.
I painted this one ultra matt so it looks more realistic.
and also here are some new pictures of the cw001644 ~ cw001646.

My name is Tarkan and I am from The Netherlands,
I always had a passion for militairy Aviation and in the beginning I started to built plastic model kits when I was young till 15 years ago when I started to collect 1/72 diecast models and one of my favorite brand is Century Wings.
What i still do is building dioramas and add diecast to make it more realistic.

Century Wings reply:

Dear sirs
Please find attached some photos of my collection of CW-aircarft
(and other related items).
I have most of my CW-aircraft on display -
especially the complete first edition of the 1978 Nimitz-"flight deck" -
but not enough space to display all my models at the same time.
I was delighted to find you producing all the aircraft
I fell in love with as a kid when watching
"The Final Countdown" in cinema.
Especially the "flaps-down"-versions of the Tomcats and Crusaders attract me a lot...
It took me a while to collect them all
(about half of them are pre-owned models) as I was not able to buy the all at once when they were released...
In addition to the Nimitz-deck in the second row,
I decided to showcase some of the VF-84-Jolly Rogers' history of aircraft in service (upper left row)...
As you can see, VF-84 Jolly Rogers and VF-111 Sundowners are my most favorite squadrons.
Hope you enjoy my display and want to share the photos on your homepage's collectors-section.

Century Wings reply:
Dear Stingray
Your collections look fantastic!
It is always nice to hear from a Century Wings lover and
see your treasure.
All the air planes are shown distinctly with powerful attitude!
The whole room display is ingenious, especially with those air force helmets next to the planes.
Also the real size air force personnel model is very impressive and bring out the whole collection mood.
Thank you for showing us those wonderful photos!

Dear Century Wings,
Thank you very much for releasing wonderful products always.
I have become a fan of F-14 and A-6 by the influence of the movie.
I thought about collecting plastic models, but it was not easy since I had no time.
At the same time, I met Century Wings.
Both texture and quality made me pleased.
Especially my favorite is the Kneeling version Flat & Slat Down.
Please continue to launch good products.

Century Wings reply:
Dear KPS,
We are delighted to hear your compliments!
Glad to know that you are satisfied with your collection!
It is our first priority to make our lovers happy!
You do have a big collection, these air fighters line up beautifully!
Also the front airport field scenes bring out the whole setting, everything blended together in such a harmony.
The night view also looks very vivid and thanks for sharing with us!

Dear collectors, this is the Century Wings F-14A VF-84 JOLLY ROGERS AJ200 1978 USS NIMITZ in the flap & slat down version.
The unique configuration of the model gave me the option for trying some shots of a landing Tomcat.
I tried to simulate shots from deck of the USS Nimitz in 1978.
I partially used different filters which should simulate a classic camera of the late 1970s.

And also, this is the F-14A TOMCAT VF-41 BLACK ACES AJ101 1978.
I tried to make some in-flight shots in different angles and wing positions.
I also tried using some filters for letting this realistic model look like a realistic artwork and similar.

Century Wings reply:
Dear Christian,
It is highly appreciated to see your nice works again!
Especially you use new photography skill to let these diecast airplanes look realistic.
It is so nostalgic and these are fine artworks for sure!
The flap & slat down version of USS Nimitz looks great!
Also the in-flight shots of TOMCAT in different angles and wing positions are also very remarkable!
Thanks for your classic photos and well done!

Hello CW Team,

Thank you very much.

Dear FELIX, thank you for sharing your very first Century Wing model with us. We can all feel your excitement as well. The combination of the VF-31 helmet with these two patches together is brilliant!

My very first collection of diecast military aircafts is a 1/72 VF-154 NF101 2003 by Century Wings because the tooling and quality is much better over other manufacturers, it caught my heart and I have increased my collections since then.
I've been waiting for a long time for Century Wings to release this F-14D VF-31 AJ101 which attended the F-14 Final Flight Ceremony at NAS Oceana, Virginia on Sept 22, 2006.
Finally, they did it and of course I am very pleased with their diecast replica.

Dear Char, so nice to hear good compliments about our aircrafts!
Collector's enjoyment and happiness are the major power for us to improve always!
The background of your photo is very eye-catching.
Natural view with bright colours does light up the whole scene and stand out the airplane well.
Thanks for sharing your pleasure with us and please keep having fun!

I never new Century Wings existed until one day my Father brought home from Japan our first Century Wings jet, F-14A from VF-84 in the launch config. From that day on, both him and I share the joy of collecting these beautiful models. The both of us have collected about 18 F-14's, A-6's, F-8's, and SR-71's in total.

Since my father is a pilot in the Air Force, my family and I had the privilege of moving around the world, thus exposing me to many aircraft; my favorite being the F-14 Tomcat. It is, and always will be the best fighter ever made. As of right now, I am currently done with college and in the process of applying to Undergraduate Pilot Training in the Air Force, in hopes of earning a fighter pilot slot.
Advice to potential future flyers: stay out of trouble with the law,
NO DUI's and stay in physical shape! And keep shooting for that pilot slot, keep your eyes on the prize!

Thank you Century Wings for these timeless pieces!
I look forward to seeing more releases! Aloha

Collin

Dear Collin, it is so wonderful that you are not only sharing your collection with us but also your future target.
Your collection blends in with the Japanese swords in the back round very well and creates this visual impact.
Black swords and these beautiful aircrafts together does make a magnificent scenery!
We are also very proud that our aircrafts were part of your good memory and lead to good result.
Keep going and we believe you would win the prize soon for sure!

I learned about Century Wings in Year 2007. Then I immediately ordered my first model: VF-101 AD164 Grim Reapers 2004.
I still remember what I felt when I took it in my hands and it was - a big dream of mine came true.
From that moment the models of my favorite brand among thr best that I have, and with the arrival of each new model the sense of perfection overwhelms me again.
Over the years, I received the following models from Century Wings 22 F-14A/B/D, 3 A-6E, 4 A-7D/E, 3 F-8E, 2 SR-71A/B.
I hope and believe that the company's development will cause even more exciting models in the years that follow. Thank You !

Dear Maverick, thank you for your strong support!
It is always nice to hear compliments from our Century Wings collector!
Very appreciated about the photos you took!

Carbon Plane certainly knows how to present the night departure action powerfully.
You can actually feel the busy atmosphere and the tense of the crew through the shoots.
Also based on the remarkable effect of the light reflection, it delivers the realistic ambience so well that one would feel like actually in the airport sight!

Keep sending the photos to us and you might just be the coming winner next time!

Hello, Century Wings team.
Well, I'm from Brazil so I am known as "Brazilian ace" in discussion forums on models in 1:72 scale.
I started collecting diecast models at the end of 2011, therefore my collection is very small.
I made pictures of four models (two Tomcat and two Blackbirds).
I tried to photograph them with natural light. Hope you enjoy.

Century Wings reply:
Dear Brazilian ace, it is so nice to see somebody who takes photos with natural light beautifully!
You create the spectacular views for those planes and also artistic atmosphere can be felt strongly.
I could really say that your photos would make everybody jealous for sure!

Comments:
Hi, my name is Millo, from Orlando FL, US.
Attached are photos of some of my models.
Each model is displayed according to real life pictures of that same plane.
Also, I have attached "live shots", displaying some of my models in "action".
Hope you enjoy them.

In answer to your question (posted in reference to the pictures now on the website), the "live action shots" in flight, were taken with each plane on its own Century Wings stand, but with each stand at an angle in which it is not visible. In two of the pictures, the stand is spread under the plane, right under the breadth of the wings, and the bottom of the picture is cropped right at the wingtip so that the stand is not visible.
In the picture of the model in flight with the wings swept, the photo is cropped at the bottom, right below the Lantirn pod, so that the stand is not visible either.
To make the "live shots" even more realistic, I (by computer), blocked the points where sidewinder missiles are meant to be attached, so that they are not visible.
Each picture, including the shots in flight, was taken using natural light; even the studio pictures.
I am glad you enjoyed the photos. Thanks for posting them.

Century Wings reply:
Dear Millo, how marvelous pictures of "live shots", it is so nice to see the planes in action! How did you take them so well?!
Those photos look very delicate, especially with the authorized card displayed next to it!
I believe you treat your collections very carefully so none damage，finger-print or dust can be found!
Thank you very much for your generous sharing!
