Long, long time modeller
I’ve been working on Tamiya’s 32nd scale Zero for a few months now.
Generally I enjoyed the build but didn’t appreciate the added complication of the working features. I also struggled with getting the front of the fuselage to line [...]
Fujimi 24th scale kit with modified front end. Splitter and dive planes made from plastic card and Miliput. Eduard etch belts.
Thanks for looking,
Rob.

I thought that the aviation enthusiasts would like to see something I worked on last year.
I was given a set of castings for one of the desktop models produced by J. Lawson Model Makers. They sell finished examples to raise funds to help [...]
I completed this some years ago and remember it was a real squeeze getting everything in including the full depth wheel bays.
