Just signed up...Lots of pics

Hello, I just joined and thought Id share with everyone some of my recent works

My name is James and I'm new to FS forums but not to model building. Until now I havent shown any of my work except to family and friends and this is the first modeling forum I've signed onto. Ive been at it since age 5 so that puts me at around 25 years of modeling give or take. I live in Carlsbad, CA but i was born in Sacramento and spent most of my youth there. I also am half Greek and so have spent many a summer there as well. I mostly model 1/48 WW2 aircraft but Ive built everything under the sun as far as subject matter and scale is concerned. From Sci-fi to Modern military, Aviation to Armor, Automobiles to Railroad I love building and so I thought Id share some pics of my recent works. Hope you enjoy.

This is a Revell's Bf-110 G2-R3 with Verlinden update and various figures Ive arranged from ICM Tamiya and Hasegawa. Also shown is a Tamiya Kubelwagon and Verlinden flak 38A



Trumpeter P-40 Kittyhawk II This model was underpainted Dark Green and Dark Earth then overpainted with the middlestone/Earth/Azure scheme as I read that some arrrived in Africa in the Green/Brown scheme and were repainted in the field.




Tamiya's Spitfire VB Trop modeled after the 336th Sq. which was a division of the RAF made up of Greek pilots which later became a unit of the Royal Hellenic AF toward the end of WW2. Its not evident if VBs had the RHAF roundels or if they kept the RAF insiginias until the delivery of VC models, but I havent found much evidence that suggests VBs werent reissued and repainted in this fashion. Features scratch built cockpit details and quickboost Exhaust nozzles. The Tail number is my Bday :) />
