Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Back before there was the Eduard kit, before there was the Hasegawa kit, there was the ICM kit, released first in around 1999 with the Spitfire IX, the first series of kits to get anywhere close to accuracy with the Merlin-60 series [...]
The 0.5% of unfinishednessness was due to the fact I'd forgotten to add the prop spinner - which you can see shining like a beacon of stupidity at the bottom right of the frame. It's been Alcladed but still needs a yellow band. That and [...]
Built OOB, finished in Testors and Tamiya acrylics.
I had planned on mounting bombs instead of rockets, for something a little different. However, I really didn't like the way the bombs ended up looking. I also left off the boarding step, [...]

I have started a new project that is going to be outlined in the WIP thread. I hope I can garner some insight and history on this plane that a tough man flew, Robin Olds. I admire his exploits and his raw candor. I am also using this HC [...]
Develped from the Caudron C450 racing aircraft, was this attempt at a "light fighter", one that could be built cheaply with minimum use of resources. The mainly wooden airframe was powered by an air-cooled inline engine, a rarity [...]
