Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
I have been on a long modeling hiatus but broke ground on the magnificent 1/24 F6F-5 Hellcat about two and half months ago. It is a really amazing kit, but true to form, I have added a lot of details to the kit. The WIP build to date can [...]
