Tamiya 1/32 P-51D
A great kit. Engine wires and plumbing sources are marked to ease construction. However, the busy wheel well is relatively barren. Hence, it is up to the builder to complete the missing plumbing.

2024 Major Projects
Here are some of the bigger projects I have planned.
TBD-1 Devastator and the Year Ahead
I have decided to call the Great Wall TBD-1 Devastator done though there are a few little details to fix, like the PE pitot probes that decided to get eaten by the carpet monster at the last minute. Overall the kit is pretty good.

A few self inflicted errors along the way but overall it was a smooth [...]
ICM 1/48 B-26K Counter Invader build
Stumbled across Hammerhead Model Making's build of the B-26K "Special Kay" using the ICM kit and thought others might enjoy it. Run time is just over an hour.

1/24 Ripley from Original Alien film
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.
