Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Well, a happy Xmas to all .
Here are some pics of a pair of Spitfires my wife and I built.
I posted them as I thought it might be of interest to those SWMBO.
The kits were Revell 1/72 Spitfires Vb`s, which were basic kits.
The fit was not [...]
This is the Trumpeter 1/32 version of the Me 262 nightfighter. Rather than the modelling-standard of mottled camo, I wanted to replicate the in-theatre, brush-applied version, often seen in late-war photos (similar example in archive photo [...]
Hello, newly joined. Have enjoyed visits to Cybermodeller and Modelling Madness. Attached some pics of an effort made by me with the ancient Airfix 1/72 Douglas Boston. Pretty much built out the box. The old Airfix kits generally build [...]
