Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
This is 1/48 Hasegawa P-38J Lightning with the markings of “Journey’s End” flown by Lt Col Joseph Meyer from 38th FS, 55th FG Nuthampstead AB England in November 1943.
Cockpit modified by Eduard instrument panel and Ultracast resin [...]
1:72 Hasagawa P-51 Mk. III. Did this kit to try out low tech techniques. All bush painted. The outside camo was done by painting on multiple coats of thinned acrylics with two wide flat brushes. No extra detailing, PE or resin [...]
