1/72 Scale is turning out to be a good place to start
I came back to scale modeling and re-started from scratch. Since then, I've taken in a couple of shows and I am slowly expanding my range of supplies and sources. I have found these 1/72 scale kits to be a great chance to practice, [...]
Humber Scout Car Mk. II
Another braille scale armour model: the Humber Scout Car Mk. II from Dan Taylor Modelworks. Details and fit are great, the instructions however are a bit vague regarding part placement. The markings are from 59th (Newfoundland) Heavy [...]

This was a quick build that I wanted to use to fill the time while waiting for some masks and paint for a Japanese plane I wanted to build for Works in Progress. Of course, I always seem to pick things that have some challenges. This is [...]
Boeing F/A-18C HORNET VFA-192 "Golden Dragons" 1/72
Hello to all,
This is my second airbrushed model. This time I tried to do some weathering, panel lines etc...Maybe it is too much weathered for my taste, but It was too late when I realized. But hey...I learn as I go.
The kit was from [...]
Spitfirepalooza Continues!
Another model completed during the Great Hunkering Down, the Eduard 1/72 Spitfire Mk. VIII. This is my first 1/72 Eduard Spit and as has been said by many before, these kits are great! I will definitely do more.
