Based on my sufferi- I mean, observations, the following is my best guestimate on how to create an 'accurate' initial-form XF5F-1.
First, let me clarify: this is a wonderful kit. Out of the box, the Minicraft Skyrocket is great. It is my [...]
Weathering patterns of Japanese WWII aircraft fascinated me more than the aircraft themselves. However, due to the scarcity and low quality of photographs from that era, it is very difficult for me to nail the core of a weathered surface [...]
