I used to build aircraft models like a mad man, then life caught up on me.  I have recently started to build again, thanks to the cold weather and the fact that I always find inspiration from ARC.

The last kit I built was 8 years ago. It was Hasegawa’s 1/48 Bf 109 G-6. I had never built a German aircraft before as their camo was to intimidating. After seeing markings for “Margo, Rot 13” on an Aeromaster sheet, I decided to take a leap and try my hand at airbrushing a German fighter. I replaced the kit cockpit with one released by Aires, it looked GREAT!!

Enjoy the photo’s. I do not feel that I hold a candlestick to other work that I’ve seen on ARC, but maybe this will help keep me motivated to start chipping away at the stack of unbuilt kits in my garage. It has to, my wife will probably divorce me if I don’t do something with them………..
