Wooden it be nice……

WW1 Model-T Ford Ambulance, Western Front 1918
ICM 1/35 scale with Master box figures. Nice simple little kit that was fun to build. Well except for the decals! Not sure if I just got a bad bunch but they were a nightmare to apply. As soon as they came out of the water they kept [...]
Hughes OH 6A Cayuse, 01602, Spanish Navy.
1/72 Italeri, almost OOB, I added some wire to the undercarriage and tail rotor for strength, finished in MM enamels with Future and MM 30000 acrylic over kit decals.

Tamiya 1/48 Avro Lancaster PB150 of 625 Sqn RAF 1945
Some pics of my Tamiya 1/48 Lanc tastefully shot against the lurid backdrop of our back-bedroom! - Sorry about that but the finished model is so large it had to go somewhere uncluttered and it was still raining outside.
I scratch-built the [...]
