Bronco 1/35th scale Fieseler Fi 103 RE-3 Piloted Flying Bomb

This is the Bronco1/35th scale Fieseler Fi 103 RE-3 (Reichenberg) Piloted Flying Bomb Trainer that I built straight from the box a year or so ago. It’s a strange scale to do an aircraft in but it’s something different and is a really [...]

OK if nobody's going to post today...over 1000 I go....

Such a nice number. I'll "Rocket" over the top with this hasegawa 1/32 Komet I did last year. For it's age it's still a cool kit. Pretty much kept to what was in the box, except for making a couple of "Luftstanders" to [...]

Karma almost at 1000….Shameless use of kid’s model….

Inspiration for the next build
