by Geoffrey Abreu on January 6, 2023 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

My First build of the year is this 1/72 Brengun MXY-7 Ohka Type 22. I added PE seatbelts and ring and bead sights as well as adding back the air intake behind the cowl as the one molded on the kit is very easy to sand off while building. [...]

Here is another of my Spitfire PR Types. It is a PR.VII, a PR.IG which was upgraded to Mk. V specs. The PR.VII/PR.IG was armed with 8 X .303 Browning machine guns and retained its armor. It was thought the PR.VII/PR.IG would be able to [...]
