Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
This kit has been on the cusp of completion for a few months. With little time or energy to do much building recently, I primarily needed to clean and organize my work area, which had gotten a bit out of hand.. when the dust settled, this [...]
When this was announced I thought it looked so cool that I had to have it even though it's not my usual scale.
So, my first 1/48 Spitfire and it's Special Hobby.
