by James Kelley on October 18, 2016 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

An old kit from the 1970s, but went together very well. No putty or filler needed anywhere. Painted with Gunze-Sangyo acrylics, and markings are from an old Cutting Edge sheet. The only modifications done were drilling out the gun barrels.

Pegasus solid vinyl 1953 ‘War of the Worlds’ Martian

by George Tufnail on September 2, 2016 · in Sci-fi · 6 ≡
