Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
This is an other OOB build for an in club contest from a few years ago. Finish is overall aluminum with minimal weathering. Fun build, and fairly quick, too. All of the decal stencils were in blocks, and weren't too much of a challenge. [...]
1/48 Hasegawa F-18. I had originally bought this kit as a spares kit, I paid $5.00 US for it. I bought it from a friend who got it from the original owner. The original owner had attempted to build it using superglue and not sparingly [...]

Here is another Italian fighter for your viewing pleasure. This one was also built strictly OOB. Sand and Spinach camo free hand airbrushed using MM Enamels, and minimal weathering using chalk pastels and the Tamiya weathering System. [...]
1st review of the year is Academy's MiG-21 kit that was issued back in 1998. And in keeping with the early theme of Mig 21's and also a week ahead of the start of Operation Desert Storm back in Jan 1991. The Mig-21 in the Iraqi Air [...]
