Terminally Irish 62 y/o husband and father who has been scale modelling since age 6. I build aircraft and vehicles of the First and Second World Wars and am particularly fond of anything "Spitfire". I also enjoy computer flight simulations and currently fly "Battle of Britain II-Wings of Victory", Rise of Flight", "Cliffs of Dover", and "Wings of Prey". When not building models or flying simulations, I spend a good deal of time hanging out with my 18 y/o daughter Aelyshe.

Built this one about ten or so years ago. As always, I started out with the intention of a quick build but the next thing you know, it just got away from me. The trailer is an old Italeri piece that had been sitting in a spares box since [...]
Had this kit laying in the stash for quite a while. Saw the movie "Bridge at Remagen" and got inspired to build it. Funny, two months after I built this, Bronco announces it is releasing an early version Chaffee. The Italeri [...]
Purchased this kit when it was first released somewhere in the mid nineties (I think). It was my first experience with using resin detail parts. Cockpit is the OOP KMC kit which was absolutely fabulous in that it just dropped in without [...]
My first time posting here so I thought I would share one I built some time ago. This is the Tamiya 1/48 Spitfire Mk I with a Cutting Edge resin cockpit. I added some scratch-built details and finished her with Floquil Military Color [...]
