Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Just finished, Hasegawa's venerable 1/48 Zero A6M2. This is the newest boxing, Zero "Super Ace" that features a resin figure, of Testuzo Iwamoto, supposedly the 2nd highest scorer of the IJN. This guy flew from China to War's [...]
Apologies for the constant sniffing. I has the sniffles. Also, I forgot to turn on the fill-light, so it's a bit dark. Save you seeing my glistening, red schnozz!
