Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
A challenging kit by Classic Airframes.
This is a relatively new Amuzing Hobby kit from their "What If" series. This plane certainly didn't exist. But it's a nice kit for a build where you don't have to think about authentic colors, historical accuracy and so on. Just [...]
My latest WW1 model is this challening but rather smart Fokker D.VI model. The main points of contention were the lower wing and the undercarriage struts. I added some framing into the fuselage as well as additional non-model parts [...]
