Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Hello all, here is my latest completed build and a few shots of my next project continuing my current interest in building vintage Airfix kits , these two are both older than me and I am 58 !

Well, it's not an easy kit but it's doable.
Finding a photo of the real one (see attached) was [...]
