1/32nd Scale Hun

My latest modeling project was the Trumpeter 1/32nd Scale F-100D, so I thought I'd share a few photos. It gave me the chance to hone my weathering skills as the unique F-100 heat distress around the afterburner area of the fuselage was a [...]

Jolly Rogers F9F-8 Cougar VF-61, 1956. Hasegawa 1/72.
