it's a personal thing mind you......but, it's a tie between a 1/72 B-24D (the only one i've ever been commissioned to do) for a friend's father for his 70th birthday.........and a the Monogram "B" Mustang backdated to an "A".
i touched a space in time with the Liberator build as my friend's Dad had not seen that plane since he was in his mid 20's when he parked it somewhere in China after his 25th or so mission and walked away from the CBI.
the mustang was a lot of scratch building, chopping and cutting which taught me new skills.......more patience and gave me confidence to try anything....at least once.
i wish i had a scanner to share the in work and finished pics......but, that'll be soon enough.......
