Modeling on vacation-the Arizona experience
Just flew in from Tucson, Arizona, and boy, are my arms tired. Went out there to visit my brother and his wife, and of course, had to find a way to work models into it. Can't survive a week without the glue, as you all well know. My [...]

I thought I show you another little goodie I worked on, this time in 1/48th scale. It is the Willies Jeep, with a Black Dog conversion set. Mostly an exercise in painting and detailing, with a base sculpted by a friend of mine. Enjoy !

Another Lightning Strike! (92 Sq F.1A)
