Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.

Albatross

Here's a shot of the USN Albatross from the starboard side.

F-4B Phantom II, VF-111 Sundowners, Eduard (Academy) 1/48

Shelf of Doom Pt 1 Eduard 1/48 Polikarpov Rata

After about a year deciding whether to consign this to the bin or not I went back to it. I had been experimenting with brush-painting it entirely using oils having seen a brilliant youtube clip... Anyway after failing completely I put this [...]
