I build 1/48 aircraft and 1/35 tanks and military vehicles used in combat from 1932 through 1943 encompassing the Chaco War, the Italo-Ethiopian War, the Spanish Civil War, the Sino-Japanese War, the Soviet-Finland Winter War, and the early years or World War II.

Interested in obscure, unappreciated and unloved aircraft, tanks and military vehicles, and in the obsolete hardware pressed into service when nothing else was available. I have no interest in P-51s, Spitfires and Shermans. I am excited by things like the Vought Vindicator, the Caudron 714, and the FT-17 tank. Because of this, I have amassed a considerable collection of short-run and resin kits of unusual subjects.
