#BirdOfTheDay #Branched Today’s offering is a pair of Vermillion Flycatchers, male and female. Taken earlier this year near Lake Travis, Texas.

#BirdOfTheDay is this beautiful #BrownBirds Brahminy Kite taken earlier this year at ‎⁨Territory Wildlife Park⁩, ⁨Berry Springs⁩, ⁨Darwin⁩, ⁨Australia⁩.

Ok, invasive is a bit harsh. They actually have just expanded their range. They are following their primary food source, the island apple snail which is an invasive species.

#HistScaleModels Primed and silvered. More importantly, I think I got the spinner close enough to commit to the rest of the scheme. Talk about creative time wasting, that spinner took half the day to get to this point🤦‍♂️

#BirdofTheDay #Seasonal only in the sense that I took it yesterday. Adult and juvenile Roseate Spoonbills near the house.

#HistScaleModels Not sure I’ve ever made it this far this fast with a kit. About a week in and should be able to prime in the AM. Didn’t know that I really liked P-40s this much but, these Eduard kits are really nice!

#HistScaleModels Super fun delivery today, #ClearPropModels F4B-4! I have no idea how they can make such great kits given the conditions in Ukraine. So glad they are starting to make more kits I’m interested in.

#HistScaleModels Stumbled upon this combination during the latest build. AK 3rd Gen really sucks when using their own thinner. Tried the Vallejo Airbrush Thinner straight and magic happened. Liked it even better than the Vallejo Model Air with the secret sauce thinner. YMMV🤔

#HistScaleModels This one has been on the bench since the first of the year. Lots of starts, stops and issues but finally across the finish line. Represents an original Mitsubishi aircraft that was modified at Nakajima to be a seaplane. Solomon Islands late 1942/early 1943.

You are up to date.
