Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
This is my third build of Eduards 109. I built the Friedrich OOB except for the control colomn from CMK.
I chose this particular color scheme because it was quite unusual. The aircraft was flown by Hans Döbrich, 6./JG 5 from Petsamo, [...]
Salute, gents!
Hope you are all doing fine. Lockdown still in effect here but that actually slowed down my builds. Been working on this one since march, the venerable Accurate Miniatures SBD, boxed by Italeri.

Stopped in Hobby Lobby after visiting with my dad one day and decided to pick up this old Monogram Corsair as a bit of a nostalgia build. The age of the molds (1963 © on the belly) showed as I had to spend a lot of time cleaning up flash [...]
By the spring of 1940, Spitfires equipped approximately one-third of the squadrons in Fighter Command. Over that summer, the pilots of the Spitfires and their more numerous comrades in the cockpits of Hawker Hurricanes successfully stopped [...]
