Hello again
Fast job with a great kit, I'm happy to post my second entry this month.
Paint and weathering products from Ammo by Mig.

This is Heller's T-28 Fennec, done as a US Navy T-28B, training aircraft. had to remove the pylon mounts under the wings and a scoop on top of the forward fuselage. The decals area mish mash of spares, replicating an A/C from VT-3. Didn't [...]
I'm still working on the Pe-2, and have spent the last couple of weeks securing and installing a spray booth, as I'm going to try my hand at airbrushing for the first time (testing Akan paints on the Pe-2, in prep for an F-4E in Greek [...]

With 3 other models in various stages of building I've just finished this re-edition of this old Heller kit of the Mirage III-R in 1/72.
I's a basic kit, keeping in mind the tooling is over 40 years old, but the lines of the Mirage III are [...]
