                        Thanks
                        It was a dream to work with. The only issue that remember with the p-39q profile pak was that the front windscreen masks didn't stay on too well and had to use my
                        own. The PE pak ws great and the only detail I added was a fuel line between the belly tank and fuselage underside. It'll get cha outta your funk for sure. It'd be nice to get the resin engine for the old monogram kit.

                        PIX: see blackwolf's comment. between you, him, swammy and several others.....ya'all have my rapt attention when you post projects.

                        jeeves: is that also the eduardo kit? nice looking build.

                        Pix, I always like your stuff. I have to say that you're one of my favorite builders...

                        Dubix88, that base is a plaque from a local craft store, Michaels, I think. Cheap-O is sometimes Best-O. I must admit that I do like making bases almost as much as building models. Anyone in the market for a custom-finished display base? Wink [;)]Tongue [:P]

                        Wthout question a 1/12 scale Britten V1000 motorcycle.
                        I spent months scratchbuilding and refining the original kit, and whenoffered $700 for the completed model, couldn't bring myself to sell it.
                        I'll be posting pics on Rongeorge shortly, so keep an eye out for it.

                        My Panther G Late. Still the only model I've completed since I've joined. It overtook my Tiger, because of weathering and painstaking detail.

                        Steve, where's the Reich Defense Markings on the P-51? LOL (Sorry if that is incorrect terminology)

                        Of my built kits I am most proud of two kits:
                        Tamiya T-72M1 - painted in a three tone camouflage scheme (russian green, black and lt. grey)

                        Tamiya King Tiger - painted in the ambush pattern and this is the model that I have recently finished.

                        Of my unbuilt kits, the "holy grail" is the 5 Star Models 2s6M Tunguska. Two years of searching and $140.00 later I have it. I have finally started clean up and hope to start building soon.

                        The Marder III I did. It just seems complete unlike all the others which I can find more to do to. Favorite because of sentimental would be the two replicas of my grandfathers NASCARs I have done.

                        Hmmmm, would have to be either the Bf 109 G14, or the Mig 29, I'm about to buildSmile,Wink, & Grin [swg]
                        I just love both of them.

                        Of the built kits, would have to say my Panther G, and BV 141.

                        Hopefully my son will build a model or two, hard to know when they are 10 months old.
                        But if he did, and the house was on fire, I would sacrifice all of my collection to save his first build.
                        You can always build again, but it is never your first.

                        These two in my signature were two of the most recent completed builds in my collection before I left Canada a couple of weeks ago. I take great pride in both of them.


                        I'm the same!!Smile [:)]

                        The three models you see in my sig are my three latest builds, with I guess the E-100 still being my fave, although I think the BMP-3 is technically superior (the BMP-3 is my most recent build).
