Long time model builder, like every aspect of the art/craft, almost all areas of modeling
Keeping with the 109 flurry, here's my very old 'one of a kind' model. It's the Hasegawa 109 G-14, but modified to the last variant, the A/S (asymetrical) with the DB 605 engine.
The changed cowling bulge was sculpted out of epoxy putty. [...]
Used in several capacities during the war, manufactured by several contractors, and still flying at war's end, the Albatros C.III is truly a classic, and so is this kit, it is not, the Special Hobby, or the (early, crude) Eduard kit, it's [...]
You don't see this one built much, it's a 'middle period' kit, scribed panel lines, but soso detail. I didn't know that Eduard had a very nice detail set, until after the build, but I used their 'zoom' set to get seatbelts. I scribed the [...]
Three Eduard 1/48 kits, done pretty close to 'out of the box', fussy but excellent kits. One note, the Triplane is greener than the photos, some error by me in lighting or camera setting,the streaking was done with oil paints over [...]

Some more of my 'paleomodeling', the Blue Max Halberstadt. I have always liked the lines of the Halberstadt CL's. The kit was a typical 'limited production' from a few years back, you had to make the parts go together. Covered with [...]
I got this kit at a club auction, in a plastic baggie, with instructions, but sans decals.
I built it out of nostalgia for old kits, built when I was younger, but with an adult 'eye'. I replaced the missing decals with a borrowed 1/48 kit [...]
I made this a while back, but although not as good as some of my work, I was proud of this effort. It started with a friend giving me a 1/48 resin fuselage for a late model Nieuport, from some forgotten maker. It was two halves, with only [...]
