E-11 Liberator

I spent a lot of time building scale models as a kid. One that I vividly remember was called Flap Jack by Monogram. I don't know why, but this latest radical aircraft by Jon Hall reminds me of that. But even if it didn't I think I'd be smitten with this master of the skies. I can't decide if I love the bulbous gun turret, the double ended counter rotating props or the gull wings the best. Or maybe the graphics or the cockpit. Then again it might be the cowl...

HE-98 Halberd

Look up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane...actually it is a plane. It's another stunning fantasy aircraft from Jon Hall. This one is particularly awesome since it's asymmetrical and totally reminds me of the B-Wing from Star Wars. Like all of his planes this one sports excellent design, amazing color work and custom decals, plus this one sports working flaps. And as always a pilot ready for action.

S-16 Vulture

Builder JonHall18 has taken to the skies again, and as usual the results are stunning. The camo pattern on this craft may seem impossible, but through clever use of dark brown bricks and matching stickers, the effect is not only possible, it's perfect. More pics to follow soon, but I had to share this one in the mean time.

F-49A Patriot

Jon Hall is back with my new favorite aircraft in his ever-expanding fleet. The Patriot is reminiscent of my best-loved fighter of all time, the Corsair, but in a twin pusher canard configuration that screams 'air dominance'. I especially like the color scheme of classic navy & white, and those grill/nacelle combinations are awesome.

R-16 Vindicator

I really love this new aircraft from the king of fanciful flight Jon Hall. The color scheme is the first thing that grabs your attention, all that yummy olive green. It looks military at first, but the shape is just a little too cute and stubby to be intimidating. Then she opens up with her quad cannons and you're history.

Red Baron Down

I had a really cool Red Baron model kit when I was a kid. Of course I really had no idea what it represented, who Manfred von Richthofen was or who was fighting who and for what reason 50 years before I was born. All I knew is it was a bitchin' red triplane. Speaking of which, it's no less awesome built in bricks as we can see in this sweet diorama by PigletCiamek.

Wildcat

I spent a great deal of my adolescence building balsa and tissue models of WWII warplanes. You know, the ones you spend endless days irretrievably gluing your fingers to the cardboard surface and pins you're trying to use. Not to mention the full day you spent high as a kite from the dope covering. Anyway, I had a few favorites as a kid, and this plane was one of them, the Grumman F4F Wildcat. This version by Mad physicist is faithful right down the the folding wings for storage on the aircraft carrier, brilliant.

VTOL Gunship

This looks right out of a James Cameron movie. It's part apache, part harrier, part drop ship and all badass. I especially love the "remove before flight" tags on the weapons. I'm not sure if it's purist LEGO, but I don't care, it's a cool detail.

Gyrocopter

It's been a while since we've had a good dose of steampunk here on BrickNerd. Luckily this excellent little gyrocopter by Dwalin Forkbeard came along. I've seen the ewok hang glider wings used before but they are particularly effective on this MOC, and the mechanical doohickyness of this bird is brilliant.

Crimson Storm

Jon Hall is back with another stellar offering of aerodynamic coolness, and she's a beauty of course. The color combinations and design on this one is of course awesome (they all are!) but the technique for the guns and the use of silver is just friggin' brilliant.

Watch The Skies

Actually, don't bother, you won't see this lethal vixon coming. Jon Hall is back with another phenomenal aircraft, this time in black. From the supercharged engines to the canard front end to the custom stickers, this is a thing of beauty.

V-29 Firestorm

Jon Hall is back with another spectacular aircraft. The color scheme on this one is excellent, the brown and tan contrast along with the white stripe are just perfect. Not a bad bit of photoshop lovin' on this either. As always, the complete package. 

Cessna 172

I've flown in this plane, I've actually piloted a 152. If you live in a metropolitan area you can probably go outside and look around and spot one in the sky right now. They are ubiquitous, and this MOC by jesbert  captures it perfectly. 

SU-27

The photography here suffers a bit, but I have to overlook that because wow, that's a sharp looking aircraft. Check out that camo! There's lots of other splendid details as well, like the pipes on the back of the vertical stabilizers and the jet nozzles. The contours are really well done too. Nice work Everblack.
 

A-37B Marauder

Jon Hall knows his way around aircraft. His latest offering blends futuristic forms and vintage styling cues. That camo is brilliant. Check out the dual 8 barrel guns on the front of this thing, and cockpit is great.

P-61 Black Widow

Between Revell, balsa, LEGO and Monogram I must have built this plane ten times as a kid. But I don't think any of them were as cool as this little rendition by Brian Fitzimmons. It may not be streamline, but the chunkyness lends charm to an otherwise 100% badass aircraft.
