Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Well I did some weathering, trying not to over do it and added the exhaust pipes which I had forgotten, and antenna wire, in the process broke the nose gun in two, which I didn't even notice until I looked at these photos...that is typical [...]
My inspiration for this model came from Brian Cauchi's book "Malta Spitfrie Vs - 1942: Their Colours & Markings" which I found of enormous help & in addition a real potential problem as the temptation is undoubtedly to [...]
I've been working on this Siga/Amodel/Mach 2 kit bash for some time, finally got it finished. Quite a bit of scratch building done as well. CanMilAir decals.

Here is my recently finished model. This is 1/48 Tamiya F-84G Thunderjet with Turkish aerobatic display team markings . The first aerobatic display team in Turkish Air Force was established in 1952 using the name “National” (Milli). [...]
I finished her some time ago, but I was too lazy to show progress on In progress discussion group. It was relaxing project despite its size, only aftermarket used was Eduard masks for windows. Kit has a lot of fine details inside that can [...]
