"I'm back baby!"

To paraphrase George Castanza in Seinfeld.
For the last few years my modelling output dried to a trickle then to an arid wasteland. One of the biggest mojo killing projects I have ever faced was converting a Heller DC-6 to a DC-7C I started this conversion in 2010! First with a contrail conversion set (lumps of misshapen resin) then much higher quality pieces from Neil Gaunt from Aircraft in Miniature whom I begged to look into doing a conversion set.
The amount of cutting repairing filling and sanding was overwhelming. The other model is the Revell DC-4 converted to an Argonaut also using an AIM conversion set. I started this one in about 2015, it too gave me the Royal Squitts! In the last week I did the final filling sanding priming and glued the wings on, masking and paint prior final assembly.

You didn't think to start with something simple, did you?
