I’m a retired Lieutenant Fire Fighter / EMT. I’m also a US Army veteran (tanker) serving in M-60A1 and M1-A1 series tanks. My hobbies include restoring old Mopar muscle cars from the late 1960’s and early ’70s. I enjoy building aircraft in 1/48 & 1/32 scale, along with 1/35 Armor. I especially like the WW2 stuff. I built my first model (Revell 1/32 P-40 “Flying Tigers” version) when I was 8 years old. I currently have about 600 kits ( of which about 1/4 are built).

In addition to the "Korea the Forgotten War" group build that will last during the exact time frame as the war did, (only 70 years later), here's another one I was thinking about.

This model was built after I was inspired by a fantastic MiG-15 that was built by Tzigkounakis Tasos @t-tasos
I saw the splendid camouflage pattern he painted on his MiG, and I knew that someday I would be building one like his. Along came the[...]
This kit was finished last night, and it was part of the MiG group build.
