Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Hello!
Latest project, another '109, always a nice model. This one from Eduard is very good, came with some resin, PE and canopy masks.
I've tried to display a very weathered one, as I think it should be the case operating in north Africa [...]
The Noordhuyn Norseman/ C-64

Mid war theory held that wars would [...]
This is my latest completed model. Eduard's Spitfire range is great in 1/48, 1/72 even in 1/144, but my copy of this legendary fighter was full of surprises... The surface of the kit was greasy and cellulite looking. Sanding, sanding...The [...]
