Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
This is my new job, an Italeri Phantom II. The model is old and very very bad. Only the stencils are saved. I have riveted it and added the landing gear cables. I have also detailed the AIM-9 Sidewinders. I hope you like it. See you next [...]
Calling it done. Lt. Alex Vraciu’s F6F-3 Hellcat with VF-6 on USS Intrepid (CV-11) in June 1944. Minicraft/Academy 1/72 scale kit with aftermarket resin/photoetch cockpit by Aires and decals by PrintScale. Only at the last minute did I [...]

I've wanted to do a video like this for a few years now, and I decided to use this opportunity to show my small but ever growing Spitfire collection in 1:72nd scale.
I made this at the end of a long day, so I hope that I'm coherent in this [...]
The Airplane:
