Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
When I built a 1/72 Heller P-47N in my teenage years I was taken by the bright tail recognition markings of the aircraft in the kit. Later when I was building 1/48 kits I knew I wanted a P-47N. I decided on the ProModeller kit- great [...]

I think I use Tamiya acrylics on this and the decals [...]
