This was made by Monogram a few years back. I bought it with the thought of bring more life to it, not just another bronze statue. Knowing my limitations though I enlisted the help of a friend. His name is Tom K. and he is into military modeling. Does great detail, and diorama work. He is the artist that painted and built the kit. I get the honor of presenting it to the Vet's Club on 11-11 for their annual auction. I have done trucks for them in the past, and have helped raise $2,800. 00, for them for the Veteran's Memorial Wall at the cemetery. This one will also be auctioned off , with the proceed going there. To all of the Veteran's here on the board. I say THANK YOU, and WELCOME HOME.

That is cool you help the Vet Club and Tom K did an outstanding job on the model, should bring it a few extra buck's for them. John

Update on the above model. Total brought in for it was $900.00. That is the highest yet of all the models I have done for the club
