Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Hello everyone.
This little fellow is ready for inspection. This is a short run model and needs a little more work, but in the end it gets a solid model.
The aircraft was operated by Lydia Litvyak.
The photos are poor quality, so I [...]
Here's my first model for the Nose Art Group Build, the venerable and somewhat ill-fitting Monogram P-51D. The kit was intended to honor my five year old grandson, who shares his name with John Meyer's famous Mustang "Petie". [...]
