John's latest is the de Havilland TK-4 experimental aircraft.

This is my latest AD Haviland TK – five The scale is 1/48. Although the plane never flew, I haven't mounted as though it had flown!
Wishing you a healthy and happy 2021.

Nice job John, you seem to like the unusual examples that don't get seen very often, keep up the good work, regards Paul J.
Thank you!!!
I think the piston-driven pusher aircraft is a very efficient design and would be fun to fly!

Cunard on the Eurofighter has vindicated the design as well as the Starship.

Also most of the record setting Burt Rutan aircraft.
John reports he has completed his AVRO CF-105 Arrow. I quote:
Hi Lou,
Hope all is well with you. We are fine and enjoying spring in Norrh Texas.
The Aveo CF-105 Arrow 1/48 scale has an interesting story and an elegant aircraft. I enjoyed making it.
My best to you.

The Avro Arrow is an interesting subject.
Nice job John, regards Paul J.
Well done john. Rumor has it that the Arrow boundry air-control design on the inlets were incorporated into the F4 Phantom.
Well Done John.

Here is a nice Polikarov PO-2 biplane from John.
Quote" A very interesting story about this plane. It was one of the many "Night Witches" that harassed the Germans in WWII.
It is 1/48 scale.

Here are photos of John's nice Armstrong Whitley. John's comments are as follows:
Here is my latest model—an "Armstrong Whitley 1/72."
The Whitley was one of the first aircraft to carry troops.
Hope all is well with you.

John's brightly coloured Grandville Gee Bee Model R 1931 racer in 1/48 scale. John indicates it is all balsa wood construction and hand painted.

The yellow looks great on this model! Love the wheel spats, too.
Nicely don.

Another terrific model John.
All of the Granville Brothers Aeroplanes look good.
