Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
The last of Spitfires – Mk.22, 1/72 Airfix kit. This is completely OOB build – I've only added position lights, seat belts and drilled exhausts. Decal sheet has a lot of stencils. By the way – not one of the best Airfix kit that I've [...]
The appearance of this aircraft comes from a period in time when it was flown by Maj. Helmut Wick, and after many modifications to the camouflage scheme and tactical markings. The changes mirrored not only Wick’s ascension through the [...]
1:24 Scale. Model Engineering. One-Off Aluminum Model. Truly scratch-built.

Xuntong's first effort is my rendition of a Soviet Pacific Fleet member from 1946. Too late for the second World War, it served in several eastern bloc air forces in a number of roles.
While mostly a pleasure to build, it did suffer from [...]
