SPA Modeler

I have been very busy lately and building some very simple Revel mini kits to get back into the groove. I recently bought a Hellcat and two Tempests for two euros. One of the Tempests is missing a canopy so I am going to heat smash two new ones. I will use the canopy of the complete kits as a mould....

Thanks guys! I got some neat modelling gifts and I will post them shortly !

Very nice save on the short shot wings. I love the MiG-3 but I don't have the ICM kit. Quality control seems a bit of a problem. Maybe I should keep the Trumpeter kit on my list...

That looks great. But also a whole new skill set to acquire. 3d printing is rapidly changing the after market manufacturers. Cool that you are working on your own 3d stuff.

Some times you find the best deals in the weirdest places. I bought a few second hand kits at a flea market for a few euro's, or picked up new Revell Starwars kits at the local discounter. It never hurts to keep your eyes open for those hidden deals and treasures.

I love Polikarpov's, that is one of my favorite subjects. Your looks magnificent!

Very nice Cherrylock! I once made its big brother, the Yak-11 in Austrian colours. But it is not as nice as yours, you really made that monochrome scheme come alive.

But now for the truly difficult part, the rigging. I have done it before, so I know what to do. But there is a rea...

The French 75 is an important but often overlooked piece of history, nice to see one modelled.

A bit late, but happy birthday Bruce!
