Airfix 1/72 Mustang P-51D – Glamourous Glen III
A bit of a trial this one.
My first attempt ended as a blob of plastic after attempting the butterfly stroke in a pool of cellulose thinners.
6 months later I came round to the second attempt.
I used the Barracudacals Decal set for this [...]

Revell/MPM 1/72 Junkers Ju 290Z Zwilling w/He-178P
Hauptman Steinhoorn was a true envisionist (some called him mad): upon seeing the first Ju 290s developed from the civil Ju 90 versions, he put pressure on everybody to adopt Junkers concept of joining two 290s with a common central wing, [...]
Grumman F8F-1 Bearcat - 1/72
This is one of the US-Navy cats that I like really more, due to its aggressive looking, powerful engine and operational history.
