Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Here's my attempt at the 1:48 Accurate Miniatures Grumman F3F-1, and it's built straight from the box. The only thing I added was the antenna wires. The kit is a real jewel - any flaws are mine alone. Accurate Miniatures was my favorite [...]

Pheon Albatros lozenge decals, [...]
Here's one that i built a few years ago, when the Eduard kit was released. I remember there being some online angst regarding the thickness of chord around the vertical tail empanage. I found it to be pretty much accurate based on my own [...]
