An Experiment
When mixing small batches of paint for hand brushing, I need that paint to stay "open" and workable for a decent interval. Heat from my desk lamps further decreases the paint's workable time. In the past, I've used Windsor & [...]
Accurate Miniatures 1/48 P-51C
When you get some time off, build some models is what I say. Seem to be on a P-51 kick right now and here's my latest off the work bench. Had some trouble closing up the fuselage but believe it was operator head space and not the fault of [...]

Some history:
This kit dates back from the mid-nineties of the last century. I actually purchased it on e-bay as I like to adopt kits from someone else's stash and then give them a second life. The kit contains five figures comprising a [...]

I scratch-built the [...]

This is my Tamiya Phantom in the early USAF gull gray & white colour scheme used until around 1966 when the SEA camo scheme came into use.
