Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
With 3 other models in various stages of building I've just finished this re-edition of this old Heller kit of the Mirage III-R in 1/72.

My first stringbag to date, had some struggles but not too bad as such. The pics are...bad 🙂 But I CBA to do them better at this point, so [...]
