Bunker Hill TBM-3 Avenger
This is the second of two kits I bought at an old-fashioned hobby shop in Staunton, VA (the first was an Academy SDB-1 Dauntless). If you’re in the area, I highly recommend stopping by and looking at their stock. The shop is in downtown [...]
Hannover CL III, 1:48 Eduard, pilot Rudolf Hager, observer Otto Weber, Schlasta 20

TBD-1 Devastator and the Year Ahead
I have decided to call the Great Wall TBD-1 Devastator done though there are a few little details to fix, like the PE pitot probes that decided to get eaten by the carpet monster at the last minute. Overall the kit is pretty good.

Airfix 1/48 P-51D "Jersey J**k"
My first post in a few months- wanted to get one posted before 2023 ran out.
Airfix kit, finished with Vallejo acrylics, oil washes, and Tamiya weathering powders.
A few self inflicted errors along the way but overall it was a smooth [...]
