Do you do any allied equipment or just Nazi stuff? I don't think I've ever seen anything that wasn't German on here. Cool details as always.

Do you ever use enhancements like Photo Etch or do you stick to out-of-the-box?

German armor is my favorite subject because there’s so many different ones to choose from and almost and endless array of camo patterns you can do. I also do allied vehicles and aircraft. Here’s some examples.

I usually stick with our of the box. Sometimes I will use aftermarket decal sets on aircraft though.

I may have asked this before but have you done any commercial aircraft models?

No. I stick with military models, usually WWII era. Though I’ve done some Cold War era aircraft and armored vehicles.

I don’t read every day so I have probably missed a lot, but I don’t think I have ever seen a person in any of your models. I particularly like the details on this one!

I think that one of the signs that a model is well done is that the finished product appears to be metal rather than plastic.

Good work.

I don’t include the crew usually, though I may start doing more of it going forward.

Two things:

1. They’re a pain in the arse to keep cleaned and maintained.

2. I actually enjoy the brush painting process. With an air brush you spend most of your time setting up, mixing, etc only then to paint the whole model in a matter of minutes. I use to airbrush years ago and stopped for this very reason. I’ll stick with brushes.

Love that Corsair, may be my favorite plane of all time. Not without its issues but some of my favorite aces flew it
