This is the very old Williams F9C Sparrowhawk. I just had to go back and redo the glue bomb

Here is my Entex 1/24 scale Silver Cloud II. A very basic kit done in the family colors. (of course). This was a fun but a bit laborious on the paint side. Tamiya rattle can with three coats of Future. I have added a fairly new product at the en[...]

Well someone had to post after Pavel's magnificent M-5...
Here is my little weekend glue bomb. This is Tiger Models LA-7, and it was a fun and quick build. Did I mention Pavel's magnificent M-5... Well I hope you enjoy my Komedy of errors.[...]
