Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Started this back in 2000 with a Hasegawa Spitfire Vb kit and the Paragon Mk. IX conversion set. Basically kept the nose parts, spinner and cannon bulges and tossed everything else. Scratchbuilt radiator fairings, carb intake, propeller [...]
1/48 Academy F-4B built OOB except for some True Detail seats, decals are from Furball and the base is from 3Wire Design

I built this just cause I could. Finish is Commercial Aluminum overall, with MM enamel IJN Green and Brown for topside colours. The chipping is a fortuitous accident from removal of the masking tape. Kit is OOB with the exception of [...]
