Thanks, Bernard. As Tom says, this is a new Airfix kit. It’s probably my favorite 1/72 new Airfix kit.

Thanks, George. A black and white version in gray would be a worthwhile project. I’ve painted some of my figures, particularly flats, in grayscale. They look pretty cool that way. In fact, it’s always dif […]

Josef,
I like everything about your Corsair build. This is a color scheme that you typically don’t see built up too often. Yours looks very nice. Well done my friend.
