Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
The vintage Revell B-47 and P6M box-scale kits, assembled as desk models. Simple builds, I only corrected some small shape issues (on the jet nacelles of the B-47) and struggled to make some parts fit. Just to show that old kits, these are [...]
