Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Something a little different tonite. We have Hasegawa's excellent Veltro in 48th scale. When I first started to plan on this particular project, my biggest dilemma was what scheme to replicate. Thinking this may be the only Veltro I [...]
Through another friend I found out that Philip Graham lives in San Francisco so I gave him a call. We agreed to meet for lunch and chat about his service. Prior to the lunch I made this model of his airplane so that I could present it to [...]

As previously mentioned in my in-box review, the cockpit is sparse and entirely fictitious.
For the most part, construction was straightforward. I filled and sanded out [...]
Hasegawa 1/48 F-16C straight out of the box except using TwoBob's Polish Air Force decals. I am currently working on a Polish Air Force jet collection and since they are now a part of NATO and are flying F-16's I had to add that to the [...]
