by Harvey R. on November 13, 2022 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

I've built a lot of clean models this year, and what better excuse to make a beaten up bird than a Japanese subject? I ordered this while waiting for some supplies for other projects to arrive and have had fun beating up this big 1/48 [...]

by George R Blair Jr on May 2, 2019 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

by George Henderson on March 21, 2017 · in Aviation · 13 ≡
