Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
This is my first plane since I built some back in the early 70’. Back then we didn’t bother painting the models, only glued them together and slapped on the decals.
All in all a fun build but I think I’ll stick to armor models 🙂
My first for 2020. 1/48 Tamiya P51D flown by Lt Duane Grounds of the 376 FS, 361 FG, 8th Airforce .
The yellow really pops with the multiple shades of aluminium and silvers. Got my 1st 8th Airforce P51 "Big Dick," in one pic [...]

Super Scale (Squadron) decals, painted with Tamiya XF-16 Aluminium, [...]
First, I would like to thank all the participants to this group build, wheter you finished your builds or not. I must admit, I expected slightly larger participation but I am nevertheless proud of the resulting builds and I hope our group [...]
Well, its time for the 2nd last post. The build is completed, under wing stores and drop tank have been installed.
Just waiting for the custom decals to arrive and put on and then I can truly say that this mammoth built is complete.
This [...]
First completion of 2020 and a 2019 year end WIP. Another cool little Airfix kit. Everything went together like a gem. Added an Eduard color PE set. I experimented with more robust weathering using oils, pigments and pencils. Ended [...]
