I enjoy building 1/32, 1/48 and sometimes 1/72 aircraft(Larger Bombers). I like to throw in a submarine from time to time. I enjoy taking natural light photos. IMHO the sun really shows me how good I did with the painting and weathering. For the last 5 years I have been using an Iphone to take the pictures. I spent 25 years in the military. 5 years Navy and 20 years Air Force. I served as Aircrew on p-3C and a few hours in the S-3. 5 years as an F-16 Crew Chief and 15 years as the Airfield Manager. I like to ride my Indian motorcycle and play golf.
