I have started a dozen modeling projects and finished zero of them.
However, the traveling IPMS show for September 2023 is in Boise, Idaho, 450 miles, 6 plus hour drive for me. I plan to attend and enter a model!
I decided to start and finish a 1/48 aircraft model, I prefer 1/72 scale aircraft models, that my son gave me for Christmas.
More to follow

I started on the cockpit, just dry brush the raised detail and clear green on the screens
And got most of the way thru one seat

Stikpusher, I'm in a time crunch, so mostly out of the box, but I did and will do some scratch on this build.
Here is the other seat before the added belts, just tape and styrene

Wings are painted and decaled, next is weathering. I am going to use oils for the first time, I hope it works out

Weathered and clear coated, next I will try break-up the mono-tone color with oils
