After all this time, I did manage to get a few aircraft done.
The first one is the old Italeri An-2 Colt in 1/72 scale...naturally:
This next one is an RS Models 1/72 scale DFS 230 German Glider of Ebon Emael fame:
Finally this last one the Special Hobby 1/72 scale Israeli Vatour fighter bomber:
That's all in aircraft for now, thank you for looking in, comments are welcome.

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.
Thank you Tom! Yeah, I was thinking the same thing!

Three different and quite unique types! Very nice trio Mark! I love the Israeli twin and the DFS glider. Don’t forget those gliders also were used at Crete and the Gran Sasso Mussolini rescue raid. The Biplane is very cool too!

Nice work Duke. Interesting subjects and well executed as usual!

Thank you Bruce! Yes, everything is hand painted, I've been having issues with my airbrushes working well and my venting situation needs adjustment so I've been resorting to the hairy stick to get things done.
Thank you Lyle!
Thank you Carlos! Yes, the glider was used in all those other operations, but when most people hear "German glider" they immediately think of the Ebon Emael raid first.
Thank you CB and Gary!
Thank you Mike! I just love building; and I hate having things on my workbench for a long time so I try to complete them quickly.
