2020 – the year when everything ran together like spilled paint

by Tom Cleaver on December 28, 2020 · in Aviation · 27 ≡

I want to be clear it is not a joke when I tell you that looking back on this year and trying to gauge its scope and its contents is like wrestling an oily pig in a carnival hall-of-mirrors. It was like dropping ten open bottles of paint [...]

Italeri kit built oob in 2012, Gunze and Tamiya paints used. The open wheel wells leave room for detailing if someone wants. BTW, the canopy sidewalls should lie down more to the fuselage. The model shows an a/c of 150th Gruppo Autonomo CT [...]

by Erik Gjørup on December 27, 2020 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

I do know this Eduard kit has been presented here before, but in order to present my 109's I have chosen to add it here too. I have used the kit decals even though I do realise they are slightly wrong with too fat lines. I opened the vent [...]
