Buchon!

And with the 109's in 1/72 rolling off the machine at Special Hobby, it is now the Buchón that is released. There are some nice details in the kit, like the pointy ferry tank they used for flights to their African bases. One rather [...]

Something Different. Hasegawa. Camel.1/16

Present from Dearly Beloved! Thoroughly enjoyed this. Didn't go as far as this guy with individual turnbuckles I'm afraid! (link) Lost my eysight threading the rigging. The tail area was most troublesome. It's not that strong so if you [...]
