Douglas C-47 Dakota Airfix 1/72

This is one of my first builds after restarting this hobby. I hadn’t discovered wheatering-techniques during this build, so will have a look on that the next few months. The paratroopers (Italeri) make it a bit more lively. Living close [...]

How to illuminate a model – PLASMO's 1/48 Trumpeter Douglas DC-3 [VIDEO]

We learned to like and enjoy Plasmo's model construction videos on Youtube, and this one, featuring 1/48 Trumpeter DC-3 in Alaska Airlines livery is no exception. However, I found this video special because it provides a more or less [...]

Airfix 1/72 C-47

So, this is a little out of my wheelhouse, as I build primarily 1/48 postwar jets. The origin of this particular build started off quiet unexpectedly, as is often the case with me. While perusing a thread on a Facebook group (Cold War [...]
