Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Hi all,
After my last effort (Wingnut Felix) I have done a complete 360 and constructed a modern jet!
Base kit is the Academy SUFA which I found to be a great kit despite some on-line criticism.
I added the Wolfpack cockpit, Aires wheel [...]
This is the Pro-Modeler kit in 1:48 scale. I built her a few years back as an OOB project, and if memory serves me correctly, overall it was a pleasant experience with a few hiccups.
