This turned out to be a very pleasant and easy build. The actual aircraft had the black very crudely brush painted with areas of the original camo showing through especially on the wings. I, however, was not prepared to try and replicate [...]

by Kevin Fitzmaurice on August 18, 2023 · in Automotive · 5 ≡

I have always loved the look of this car, and was very pleased to see that a reasonably priced 1/12 kit was released this year (2023). I’m not good enough to tackle the MFH kit! To be honest, this does not look like a new release kit, [...]
