Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
I'm very pleased I can present my Big Cat in my first group build here at iModeler.
It has been quite a challenge but great building fun at the same time. In between trying to catch up with everything going on here at iModeller.

I made this a years ago and this was my very first made water base. Wonhee Lee(now you all may know him [...]

The Henschel HS 129 B-3 nicknamed "PanzerKnacker" (Tank Cracker) (I wish I had heard this name years ago, I would have used this to nickname some friends / co-workers !).
The B-3 version was the latest/ last version packing a [...]
