Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Here's tonight's entry for the 1940's decade of the RAF. Hopefully tomorrow I can post up a few more from this era.
This model is the fantastic new tool Airfix kit. It was released back in 2015 if memory serves me. I saw it in the [...]
This one should have been posted last night as a part of the 1930's decade... but I didn't get around to posting it.
I had a lot of fun building this one. It's the new tool Airfix Hurricane, and it is a really sweet kit to build. The [...]
