Well, I nearly finished...just shorted myself on the decals. It's far enough along to be happy with how it looks, even if it's not enough to call it properly finished

Punched 6mm discs as a guide for getting the rear end of the nacelles to shape. The disc resembles to hole to be drilled for the exhaust stacks, which are two flattened tubes per side. I guess I‘ll make those from brass tubing.

Nothing is symmetric on this Rareplane vacuform kit. A copy of the wing root profile serves as a template for getting the body join to shape and for aligning wing incidence. 🤓

I have a few Rareplanes vacuform kits in my stash. Hope they are better fitting than the Airmodel XF2Y Sea Dart that I binned. 🙂

I made my second model! This is a Hasegawa 1/72 scale F6F Hellcat, painted with mostly Tamiya paints. I'm quite proud of that dark blue color I mixed up!

A photograph a 1/72 scale model of an f6f Hellcat fighter painted dark blue, held by the wingtip in front of the workspace in which it was assembled and painted. The aircraft is named "Minsi III" and features a number of kill markings for Japanese aircraft.

I painted this Japanese 'Oscar' fighter! I see many mistakes in it, but it's a learning experience. My next one will be better 😁

A one seventy second scale model of a Ki-43-II 'Oscar' Japanese fighter plane from world war two, painted silver with large dark green spots. It's sitting on a cutting mat, with paints and a cup of water visible behind it.

Final grey primer is on, a few sputters will need to be sanded off before applying 2-3 white topcoats.
The A&A model took quite some effort to make things fit and aligned, but is does look like a Super King Air 350 now.

I'm working on my Monogram 1:72 Bf-110E. Since it was tooled in 1967, the cockpit "detail" is a pilot figure glued into the cockpit.

So, I'm scratch-building a basic cockpit that will look convincing thru the canopy. Still a WIP.

LEGO jigs are very useful when it comes to properly aligning surfaces. 🤓

Got a whole bunch of guys going in the Aviation Department, too many to make any significant progress on any individual it would seem.

I have never done winter camouflage before.
For this experiment, I found an old Trumpeter #09539 kit.
The difficulty lies in the fact that I need to glue the old Zimmerit from the kit onto it first.

. Some Archive-X and Tamiya paints, the base off white was from Home Depot as I didn't want to use whats left of my Reefer White.

Today, I picked up from the post office decals for my 1970 vintage Frog 1:72 Vultee Vengeance Mk II that I ordered from hobbyshop.cz. Very nice! #scalemodeling #aircraftmodelling #hobbyshopcz

This 1:72 Messerschmitt Bf-110 was the very first model I ever had, when I was 6 back around 1969. I figure it's about time I gave it another shot with less rudimentary skills.
