This was a nice little build from Special Hobby and it seemed appropriate after the RE 2000. These two airframes share a lot in common

This is decent little kit if a bit basic. I added some details [cockpit area] from a spare SH kit I had lying about. OTherwise pretty much OOB. I used the kit decals-pretty good and I employed the very nice MRP Reggnia Aeronautica [...]
This is my IPMS review of the ICM 1/72 OV-10D Gulf War version. This was a nice build but you can read my particulars at the IPMS USA Review:

IT is nicely detailed but has few things to watch out for; nose weight to avoid tail [...]
I was working on this simultaneously while working on the Brazilian Skyhawk. This one will be interesting to compare to the 1/72 ICM kit which I am currently reviewing right now in a build for IPMS USA...albeit I am building the OV-10D [...]

A resin printed 1/24 figure of Ripley from the original Alien film scratch-built base. Figure is well printed but does need some sanding to get a smooth surface. Facial features a bit muddled NOT exactly looking like Sigourney Weaver.
The Very nice Tamiya [ill-fated] Light French R35 Tank...Not a bad tank if used correctly. A match for the Panzer I and II's no doubt...if used in conjunction with communication and mutual support?
Now everyone tells me the popularity of [...]
