After a 40 year break, back to enjoying scale model creation. Huge fan of Tamiya 1/48, but very interested in a trying something NOT from Japan (Eduard 1/48 Peshka, or Eduard 1/48 Bf109F-4 Africa Ltd Edition, for example)!

On the workbench: Tamiya 1/48 Douglas A-1J Skyraider, Tamiya 1/48 Dornier Do335A Pfeil, Tamiya 1/48 Heinkel He162 A-2 Salamander, Tamiya 1/48 Fieseler Fi156C Storch (Foreign Air Forces)
