Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Hello everyone!
This is my first contribution to this site. It's the old 1:72 scale Heller kit.
I finished my model with Vallejo Model Air and Ventura decals as well as some old spanish Hobbycalcas from way back when I was a young boy in [...]
The Hart story is a complex one with a simple beginning. The Hawker company developed a elegant modern looking biplane with the performance to seriously challenge the existing fighters the RAF was using. This aircraft expanded into a whole [...]
