ARC is a wonderful site and has been instrumental in helping me improve my skills. Thought it was time to start contributing something.

During the nationals in Oklahoma City, I got to meet met the renowned Jerry Crandell. If there are nicer people in this industry, I don't know who they are. I got interested and bought his D-13 book, and was further hooked after seeing someone's great build in the 48th scale competition. My "I'm inspired to build this" list grew exponentially that weekend, and the D-13 topped it. Hopelessly afflicted with AMS, I procured the MDC set, Ultracast exhausts, Eagle Strike Decals, and a forgotten manufacturer's hood conversion. All were outstanding. The MDC set took a little bit of work to fit, but turned out fine. Painting was done in Pollyscale and Gunze acrylics, applied with my trusty Sotar 20/20. 

Thanks to all contributors.......happy modelling.
