I just completed 4 models that I have been working on since June.

1. Tamiya P-51B Mustang, in Don Gentile's (My Hero) markings. 1/48 scale.

2. Revell Monogram B-26 Marauder "Special Edition". 1/48 scale. This one was a beast, and it was an extremely challenging kit. The resin cockpit didn't hardly fit at all, and some of the detail was lacking.

3. Pro Modeler B-25 Mitchell. 1/48 scale. This one I started last summer and put back on my pile. I finally started it halfway through the Mustang and Marauder. It was a pretty nice kit. Not lacking in detail what so ever.

4. Hasegawa "George". 1/48 scale. Chipped paint and all. Although I didn't put as much time into it as I should have, it still looks pretty good. I was an extemly easy kit to build, and I really like it a lot. I started it last spring, but never finished it until now.

I started on #s 1 and 2 to start with, and then I figured that I would also finish 3 and 4. And it only took me a little more than a month to finish all 4 of them. Which is pretty good.

I highly reccomend these kits, as they are fun and mostly easy. Next up, F-18 Hornet Blue Angel. 1/48 from Revell/Mono. I am looking forward to that one.

An aircraft factory!!!!!!!!!!!!! Way to go Chip. I am about two days away from the finish of my Academy F/A-18C Hornet . It is the new 1/32 scale, and was she a dream kit. I haven't started my B-25 yet. Can't wait to get busy with it, I sold one last year and have wanted to do anthor one ever since. Know what to change this time around.

demodelbouwer, ohh my gosh! I am honored to meet you!

If my buddy brings his digital camera to work pretty soon, I think pictures could be in the equation.
