Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Well, it's 9:15 p.m. Central and I just finished mowing my Dad's yard. Now that work is over, I can contribute to the D-Day build.
I know I said I could get this done in two weeks, and I probably could, but a Gloster Javelin, Yak-38, [...]
It is still June 6th over here so here is my contribution.
It is Mn317/ZYB of No. 247 (China British) Sqn., 124 Wing as of June 1944.

To be featured in an upcoming issue of AMW, here's a sneak peak at my latest completed project. More photos and details will be added once the article is in print.

It is Eduard's 1/48 scale Polikarpov I-16, Type 10. I used decals from a long OOP Superscale sheet for the code letters/numbers and the 'Betty Boop' on the tail. All other [...]

In this case he is dealing with the huge AW 27 Ensing. A friend of us will make the decals for the BOAC Albatross and [...]
