Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Hello all! I present to you my Airfix 1/48 scale Lynx helicopter. I wanted to build this one to represent a Lynx that we landed next to in Ilidza, Bosnia, back in 1998. All I had to go on was one less-than-stellar photo that I took, so [...]

I built "Red Wrath" in 2004 and rediscovered the model the other week when going through boxes that had been in storage for 10 years at the place we lived before moving here to Encino. I decided to re-photograph the model here [...]
