Hey Guy's & Gal's, I try to build 1/48 aircraft as accurate as possible without getting to involved and caught up in rivet counting, although I do enjoy researching the aircraft I'm building at the time. I also dabble in 1/35 armour but that is just for fun, to me if it looks like a Tiger then it's a Tiger. I'm also pretty slow at punching out a kit, I get side tracked pretty easy. I only average about 5 or 6 built models a year, which is one of the reasons I'm not buying as many kits as I used too.
