Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
This is a sad but true story of an event that shook our family on this day in 1945. Between 0840 and 0845 hours, on April 8th, 1945, a B-25J from the 100th Bomb Squadron crashed into the Sulu Sea, killing all six men on board during a [...]
Spitfire Mk.I 234 squadron August 1940. This is the Kotare kit which I enjoyed very much. Quinta cockpit and HGW seatbelts were used. Paints were model master. Mr. Cleaver gave me some advice on European fading (Lilac). I was waiting for [...]
