Curtiss Helldiver SBC-4,1/72 Heller
I was reluctant in building this, knowing that I wouldn't be able to rig it, my manual dexterity not what it used to be. but It's been in my stash for so long. It's done up as in the overall light grey of 1941, of a craft from Scouting [...]

Holidays and a Humble Heller and Humbrol model…
This is the good old Belle etoile from heller.
I really like their sail ships collection despite its age.
Here there is no fuss about engraved or not engraved panel lines, empty cockpits, and the airbrush wont add anything to the painting [...]
