I built a 1/24 Scale P-51D Mustang for a client and he wanted everything scratch-built just like the real aircraft. Here are some of the 100 or more photos. The "Dallas" canopy was raised up a bit higher than the regular [...]

Wingnut Wings Albatros B.II

by Robert Joseph Cookson on November 8, 2019 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

No drama with building this kit - very little to do in order to make things fit, except where I'd probably made a previous error. Finished in Aviattic Austro-Hungarian CDL, with MRP paints, Gaspatch turnbuckles and Uschi wood effect [...]

by Rodney J. Williams on November 7, 2019 · in Aviation · 8 ≡
