Some of my recent off topic builds
« on: March 24, 2021, 05:31:58 AM »
Dear all -

Just a small sample of some of my alternative model work:

1/3 Trumpeter M16A3 assault rifle








1/48 Roden Heinkel HE51

Excellent work Dave. The I153 looks awesome but like Alexis I favor the Heinkel. The rifle is also well done. All in all they are all Fantastic!

Very fine models. I like especially the He51.

Great work! What was the 1/48 153 like? I’ve been tempted by the 1/32 version but keep pondering the shift down in scales due to space issues....

Thanks, Steve!

FF - I've built ICM's Chaika in both 32nd and 48th scale.   I found the 1/48 much easier (although both are good kits) to get together with no build problems to report.
