Had a 12 hour
blackout all day Thursday as a typhoon blew through our area of the
Philippines. Electricity was cut to keep people safe during
the storm. Imagine monsoon rain for 8 hours at a 45 degree
angle due to the winds and we went out during the storm to the local
farmers market to buy some food for dinner...then cooked with gas by
flashlight. :-)

is here to remember the D-Day landings with his beautifully done
1/48 Hasegawa Typhoon Mark 1B. Amin added scratchbuilt

Thomas got a ride in his friend's Christen Eagle II and built

custom decals for both models. I love the look of the finished
models. |

JD joins
us today with his second article on ARC. This beauty is his
1/72 Hasegawa Su-33 in the markings for a jet in the Ace Combat

exceptionally attractive jet. The cockpit complete with pilot
and the shaded metal exhausts all bring this model to life in a very
effective way.
