Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Since this 1:48 scale type is in short supply, I purchased a 3-d print from Art studio who had a short offer on facebook. For 57 euros you get a plastic bag with a fuselage, wings and wheels and an engine - the only decent thing in this [...]
This really is a kit of opposites.
The cockpit internals and the overall fit is beautiful but the fit of the nacelles leaves a little to be desired.
Nothing a spot of filler and plasticard can't fix but it was a surprise after the ease of [...]
WNW 1:32

Revell˙s Hurricane Mk IIC in desert camo, finish could have been better, but there it is, i guess i˙ll have to make one more. Upper colors are Humbrol and underside is MM azure blue, i think it˙s better than Humbrol˙s. Built OOB except [...]
Three of Tamiya's bubbletops are presented here. Their finest model ever in the 48th scale props in terms of achieving the balance between the ease of construction and accurate depiction of the real aircraft.
