Models have been along periodically since childhood.
Over the years, I built close to 1000 models.
I want to share my excitement from this great hobby with the images presented here.

Dragon 1/48 Ju 188E-1 Avenger

In spite of the difficulties involving fit issues common to all Dragon's Ju-88 variants, the final outcome of the Avenger is worthy the build efforts.

Tamiya 1/48 F-16CJ Aggressor

One just cannot get enough of the sublime Tamiya Falcon.
