11 - Academy 1/48 Hughes 500dIsreali Scheme

A nice quick and quite simple build that I put some extra effort into - I wanted to do an Israeli scheme but didn't have the decals to so I made a mask of the Yellow V with tape and got a friend to cut a mask of the Israeli roundels for [...]

Roden 1/144 Boeing 720B Pan American

This is the first time I have assembled a Roden kit. The box art is attractive, but the kit itself has a nice atmosphere when completed. The accuracy of the parts was good and they took shape quickly. However, because the surface of the [...]
