Pavel, even though I've never met your brother, and, myself being a Marine, I like him immensely already! Great job on the Huey!

A friend bought me a Round2 C-57D a few years ago, which of course I haven't had time to build, so I got him back by getting him a 1/350 Enterprise for Christmas. I wonder who'll inherit it.
Yeah, I built a 67 Mustang Shelby GT 350 for my son-in-law.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

I didn't have a chance to do one this year but I did one last year for a mentor of mine. The whole reason I'm even bringing up a build from last Christmas is the fact that I was really pleased with this one and 'ol Pat was floored when I gave it to him. I pulled the same stunt of asking "What's your favorite aircraft of all time?" and he informed me that it was the Corsair hands down.
I chose the Revell offering which was a HUGE mistake BUT..............I got through it.
The kit:
The results:
and a shot of it on the display base without the acrylic glass top on it. (It's actually a shadow box with the glass removed, mirror cut to fit and a acrylic glass top made by a local plastic glass shop.

Built a P-47D for a friend of ours who flew them in WWII. He comes to all our club meetings and I kept asking him questions about his plane so I'd get it right. He didn't remember me asking the questions as I just slipped them in between other conversations. Presented it to him a couple months ago. The look on his face was priceless. He asked how I got all the info on his plane. I said you gave it to me. He called me a smart-alec kid. He's 93 and I'm 75. I took that as a great compliment.

I keep hitting "escape", but I'm still here.
I've done 2 for a couple of co-workers to show my appreciation in return for favors / help I've asked for from them. (a F4-U Corsair and Twin Mustang). Another (P-47 Thunderbolt)went to a bro-in-law as a belated B-Day gift.
Like the subject says, did anyone? I built a Revell A-10 for my boss, who is a Air Force, Desert Storm vet. Used parts from Italeri, Hasegawa, Tamiya, and a couple others. Talked to him today (first time since Christmas Eve when I presented it to him). He was blown away, and had to rearange his home office to display it. Had spent time talking to him about desert storm and he said he had a shell from an A-10 that had been signed by the pilot, I got a hold of his wife and found out who had signed it, and through some research found that Tamiya decals include the Airframe SN that this pilot flew. He was really suprised. Felt good, was the first time I had ever built one for someone else, first time I did a full airbrush camo job, first time using as much photo etch, and first time I had ever built a base. Even his son, TACP in the Air Force looked at it and said it looked "right". Don't have any photos right now (camera with photos is at the office) Will try to post some later. So back to the question, lets hear it if you did!
