BF 110 E in progress

The camo on this 110 will be black bottom and dark green RLM 72 on top side. I wanted to see if I could attack a uniform black belly side and Dark green top side from a different angel with a realistic weathering. I am not a big fan of pre [...]

This is my Tarangus, 1/48th Scale, JA-37 Viggen. I bought this kit when it was first released, but it stayed in my stash for a long time, because, quite frankly, I wasn’t sure my skills were up to the task of recreating the iconic [...]
