Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
I was looking for something I could build in parallel with the 1/28 Revell Triplane I was working on, and this model popped up on sale at one of the online hobby stores. Even though I prefer models in a larger scale, this one looked so [...]
1/72 Xtrakit, built 2021 for the de Havilland 100 GB, more details, pic's there.
