Lives in Wilmington, NC but originally from Copenhagen, NY. Started scale modeling around age 8 or 9 with my first model being a Revell P40 in 1/48 scale.

MV-22 Osprey final 2018 build

So I know i was supposed to keep an updated account for the Revell MV-22 but with Christmas, heavy work load, and all that jazz, I failed in my duties. Anyhow I can say that the kit was very well put together in terms of molds. Most [...]
