I appreciate every one's comments on my previous post. I started chipping the paint last night- a rather tedious, but oddly relaxing endeavor. I may have over-done it in some spots so I'll probably go over them with a light airbrushing to [...]

Painting the 1/32 Zoukei-Mura Do-335

by George Johnson on February 27, 2019 · in Aviation · 9 ≡
