To my follow forum members,

The last 2 days were just  idyllic.  With a warm and sunny day, I could not help but to shoot a small handfull of photos.  There will be more to this fun build.

That looks like a nice kit. I have a major itch to build something modern. I'll be watching.

Yes, I agree.  It's a very nice looking kit!  I picked this kit as in my childhood, I've built only three jet planes and this is one of them.  Thank you so much for the critique you've been giving me.  This has helped me grow as a modeler as well as a better person!  Thanks for the visit!

To Mississippivol,

Thank you so much in keeping my builds in mind, especially when you have a busy schedule.  I most appreciate this very much.  Thank you for the visit.

That's a nice kit, even without the photo etch. I think the first issue of this kit was an aggressor version in the late 70's. I remember my dad building it. There's a copy of that release at the lhs right now; but it isn't in good shape.

To my fellow forum members,

My last build of which was OV-10D Bronco is awaiting some decals of which I just purchased via eBay.  The decals are made by Caracal, I should have them in hand in about a week.  For some reason or another, as the original decals were dipped in water, it started to dissolve.  A first for me.  

Below, you will find a Monogram Skyhawk.  What's interesting about this OOB build is that it comes with PE.  I've found maybe a half dozen or so Monogram kits that were labeled High Tech.  Until the decals arrive, I would like to share with you my next build.
