Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Second one off the bench for 2022, and my 24th P-40 build. I may have a P-40 addiction from which there is no known cure. Just like this old war horse which saw action in just about every theater with most Allied air forces. [...]
The Airplane:
The Westland Whirlwind was, at the time of its initial appearance, one of the most advanced fighter aircraft ever built. Unfortunately, it was built to an official specification that was inherently limited, most definitely [...]

Primed with Tamiya Neutral Grey.
Painted with ColourCoats Sky Type S, Extra Dark Sea Grey, FAA/RAF [...]
