Howdy,

I build almost anything that piques my interest. I build what I like, as I like.

Atlantis American Bison

Built this Atlantis (ex-Aurora) American Bison model for a good friend’s Christmas present. Nothing out of the ordinary when building it, but it was great fun! Brian Riedel

1/35 Italeri Tiger I

Here’s the Italeri Tiger I E with a ton of extras. I used leftover brass, bits of plastic and wire and unused parts from various other kits. The markings are of Otto Carius’s “213” of pz.abt 502 from Bison Decals. Brian Riedel

A couple of 4th FG ponies

A couple of old builds of P-51-D’s from the mighty 4th Fighter Group. The first one is the old Fujimi kit with a Verlinden cockpit, decals from Superscale. The second one is the Monogram kit with decals from Superscale. Brian Riedel

1/72 Airfix Albatros D-V

Built this one with leftovers from a Roden Albatross D-III. Decals are actually for a Fokker D-VII, but I liked them for this one. Brian Riedel

1/35 Skink ( Tamiya Stuart)

This was a fun one. Had a Quad .50 leftover from an AFV Club M35 Gun Truck kit, so I did this one. Would have interesting to see this on the battlefield. Brian Riedel

1/48 Aurora Fokker D-VII

Built this one a while ago. Lozenge decals by America’s Gryphon. Checkerboard hand done on flat white with black India ink. The “Mimi” was drawn on white decal film. I rather like how it turned out. Brian Riedel

1/35 Tamiya M3A1 Stuart

Another oldie, not much extra added. Brian Riedel
