All it takes is patience and time to build up your skills. 8178 has been building and designing models for 40 years. Heck when his "Cold Duck" hit the magazine stands in 1970, I was only 10 years old. Didn't get an interest in modeling until 1974 with my first issue of American Aircraft Modeler. Bob Violett's shrike was featured in the issue. Still have the plans, yellowed after 33 years (that went fast). A someday project.
