I am an aviation enthusiast, historian and modeler. This channel is a very simple project of mine. Follow along as I not just build models, but use them to bring history to life.

"The Model Guy" is the name my four year old son came up with when I was deciding a channel name. This is not an attempt to be "the Guy" but a funny reference to my kids and how simple things are to them.

Enjoy the videos!


The Model Guy

So what’s up next after the -60? We bring back some Canadian flavour with the CF-18. ResKit has hooked me up with some cool stuff so don’t miss out! I’ll also show you how to fix the nose fit and ass fit on Kinetics bug. Overall, it gets 6 out of 10 pugs.

About 70% of the masking is completed. Inlets and nozzle zig zags still to go. But first, some small repairs to be made along the nose seam.
