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 Group Build would be called "Wings of the Emperor", or "The[...]

This kit was finished last night, and it was part of the MiG group build.
It went together very nicely, and no filler was needed during construction. I had originally painted it and used a hard edge camouflage pattern, but later I decided [...]
This model was built as part one of a project that I have been wanting to do now for a very long time. The recent MiG Group Build was the perfect opportunity.
This is the first half of the project...............Please follow along and I'll exp[...]
Our MiG Group Build is underway, and there are a lot of great builds happening right now.......... I have several MiG-15's that I'm about to wrap up. I built this one on a whim, and had not originally intended to do so.
This model was based of[...]
Hello everyone. I have some bad news to share with you.
In case you have wondered why Jeff has not been posting on Imodeler recently over the past few days, this is why. Jeff is one of our "regulars", and a very good friend of mine. He is a[...]
Exactly 75 years ago today, while flying over Italy in the top turret of a B-25 J-1 named "Evora", this young man was killed. This was his 58th Mission. He just had his 22nd birthday a few weeks earlier on September 14th, 1944, and he left be[...]
Japanese A6M Zero Colors.......... Part 1
I recently posted a similar article to this one about WW2 Japanese Aviation colors. It was not completely prepared so I removed the original posting. This is along the same line as my original inte[...]
