1/32 Tornado ECR
This is a relatively old kit that I bought on eBay from Germany some years ago. I recently saw one updated to ARC and thought that I should drag mine out and finish it. It was a pretty beat-up box when I retrieved it and so it needed a [...]
Second Empire Officer of Engineers
This Is my recently completed 65mm French Officer of Engineers during the Second Empire. He sat in the "kits to finish" pile for so long, I've forgotten the manufacturer. I used oils for all my painting. For the silver braid I [...]

1/48 Monogram C-47
Built this kit several years ago and it was my first try at a multi-engine aircraft, after years of absence from this hobby. Built it to honor my dad who made 21 jumps from this type during the war. It's no show stopper but he was proud to [...]
