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.

Revell 1/32 Heinkel 219 A-7

Having built many of Tamiya's 1/48th Uhu variants Revell's 1/32nd kit was a good way to complete the collection. And yes, I also built Dragon's 1/72nd model. All three kits were not disappointing. There were no issues with the building [...]

The big and the small: Hobbyboss 1/72 Railway Gun 80cm K(E) "Dora" & Meng 1/35 French FT-17 (Riveted Turret)

Hasegawa & Trumpeter 1/32 P-47D Thunderbolt

The definitive Tamiya 1/48th scale Thunderbolt has been my favorite model of the topic. Recently, a sale of Hasegawa's 1/32nd scale provided the opportunity to try the larger scale. The purchase of Trumpeter's match model followed shortly. [...]
