Les,

You just don't quit putting out superb models! I hope to have the new Condor to show off in a few months.

Fred,
Yep, its the old Monogram Ju87G and even older Lindberg He 100 in my pics.
Many people will sneer at building these older kits but I still have fun with them. They of coarse will not make very accurate models but can still be made into good looking models by using modern paints and decals.
My next model that you will see is Project X, its top secret!

Great job on that one. The photography is excellent. Love the the "Geheim" stamp on the B/W photos.

Looking forward to see the next batch of models take form

Great job on the model as well as the photo's. I still have a hard time believing it's not the real He 162.

Fantastic work again! It's about time you submit your pictures for a Portfolio...

Thanks Jean-Luc and thanks again Fred!

Just how does one enter a model in the Portfolio anyway? I would be interested in entering later this year after I build some of the new kits in my stash. As you can see my current group of models will not be very good compared to the latest Tamiya, Hasegawa, and Eduard kits most other modelers build.

Howdy matrixone,

Very nice work Les. And your presentation is great as well. To be honest, I am still unsure of whether the B&W images are real or photoshop'd

Curious, which kit is this in 1/32nd scale? And did the decals come with the kit, or are they scratched?

Really enjoyed your unique choice of builds

Tread.

Treadhead,
Thanks for the kind words!

The model was Built from the 1/32 scale Revell kit, and was built OOB. The only change I made was the markings, which I used EagleCals instead of what came in the kit.
