I never took any photos during the building of these models, so what you see is it. All of my submarines were built o.o.b. and painted per the kit instructions and places on the kit's little mounting stand. It was a joy to build them [...]

by Mark Krumrey on December 30, 2019 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

I started out 2019 by "buying" into the 1/32nd HK Models Lancaster. The thing is huge. Anyway, to get my chops up for the big build, I picked up the Tamiya 1/48 Dambuster kit. Having always been fascinated by the story of Guy [...]
