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).
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[...]

I finished it up just in time to make the deadline for the 100 Years of the RAF Group Build that was the brain child of Paul Barber. @yellow10
Thanks Paul !!!
I also want to take this opport[...]
This is the second part of the kit review as promised earlier. This portion will cover the plastic parts of this big 1/32 scale "early" Mustang D model.
Writing up a kit review is surprisingly easy. Now that Martin and his staff have added th[...]
This kit review will be in two parts. Sadly this one is no longer being produced at the moment. All of the molds have been purchased by a new company when the parent company of Revell went bankrupt a little while ago, so hopefully it will get[...]
This is a model that I finished up a few days ago. It also happens to be my favorite Japanese fighter from the War. It's so elegant and streamlined.............. I call it the "Japanese Spitfire".
The Tamiya model fit together perfectly, and[...]
This is an article that I have been meaning to post for quite some time now............. My apologies for being so late with getting it done.
I built this model as part of a series of numerous Spitfire models for the 100 Years of the RAF Group[...]
I received these aftermarket instrument panels in the mail a few days ago, and wanted to do a quick review on them. I'll give you two guesses as to what my upcoming plans are for builds in the near future........... :)
First up is the 1/32 sc[...]
