I like the work on the Ki-48 it is very hard to get the weathering that was common on Japanese aircraft to look good.I know I have tried a few times myself and it just never turned out the way I wanted.

The crashed B-17G is also a nice job it is a challenge to create convincing looking damage.

And Fowler Class with the cut away sections that looks to be scratch built.I never had the patience for that.I have done some small scale scratch this or that for a kit but never a complete model.

I wonder sometimes if model building is a dying hobby used to be you could find a few hobby shops in a city now you might find one in my county there is not a single one.Of course I think the internet may have run the brick and mortar hobby stores out of business the ones that got into online sales survived.
