Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
This is the latest build, the 1/32 ICM CR. 42 Falco. This was an easy build, the kit went together well , only trouble area for me was the multi piece cowl. No after market was used on this build. It is finished as a plane of 75 [...]
This was supposed to be quite a straightforward build of Tamiya's excellent 1/48 scale P-47D-22 Razorback kit with some Kits World decals.
