This is such an odd little engine (at least for me: a person who knows nothing about cars but I tried my best 😂)

This thing is on my radar. It's not a cheap kit, but it has all the attributes I like in an armoured vehicle - big, ugly and French. Anyone from #histscalemodels world built one of these?

Perfect. 👌👍

Perhaps unsurprisingly I have run out of red paint. More on order for the top coats. #HistScaleModels

Like a modelling blood hound I always find the local hobby shop.
Harrogate Models on the Leeds Road is a good little one above the Post Office. It's being rearranged so a tad untidy but worth a visit.

Mig-29 finished. Really pleased how it turned out. The effort with aftermarket decals was well worth, since I couldnt find any kit that had slovak air force markings included and i really wanted to have kit of these beauties who guarded our skies 🇸🇰

Think I'm done with the Vampire. And I'm pleased with how it looks on my wall. One solution the space problem in this room at least. #histscalemodels

The second kit in the Porco Rosso series from FineMolds contains a dual stand for the two planes, just finishing touches needed for the pig, and started work on Curtiss' plane. #ItaliaGB #HistScaleModels

Macchi C.202 Folgore in the markings of 363 Squadriglia 150 Gruppo 53 Stormo of the Regia Aeronautica in 1/48 scale. Kit was released by Hasegawa in 1995, and it showed at times. First build done for #ItaliaGB #histscalemodels

This may be a bit obscure, but perhaps I can join the #ItaliaGB with the Nisshin (日進)? Originally the Giuseppe Garibaldi class "San Rocco" ordered in 1901 for the Regia Marina but later sold to Japan. TIL she suffered the indignity of being sunk **twice**! #histscalemodels

Found a bit of time, let's see if I can keep this up 😅 Added shelf to the lockers under the platform. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Managed to get all the base layers of paint applied on my Su-25 Rook. Some repairs still required but now I can see how the wraparound Splinter camouflage turned out 👀 Hope you had a good weekend 👋🏻 #HistScaleModels #ModelAircraft

Managed to get through the main paint job on this “What-If” Phantom II. Some repairs required but now I can see how the wraparound camouflage turned out at least 👀 Hope you had a good weekend 👋🏻 #HistScaleModels #ModelAircraft

Sprayed the second Dark Green tone onto my Phantom II. I will switch to the fine tip next shot to add a bit of weathering. Then we can see how the wraparound camouflage turned out 👀 #HistScaleModels #ModelAircraft

A couple of extra bits to go with my #ItaliaGB build.
Once I saw the tank crew I had to have them but this meant getting some extra decals because the Italian schemes were lacking decal wise in the kit.

More paint work on my Ukraine Su-25. Got it masked off to spray the final camouflage Forest Green. I will switch to the fine tip next shot and give it a bit of weathering. Then a few final colours on odd panels . #HistScaleModels #ModelAircraft

Why did i do this to myself.

I know ships are pain. So why did i print this 1:700 IJN Shimakaze kit???

anyhow, guess i see if my patience and skill prevail. Rn im working on making wooden parts of deck look like there are planks of subtly different colors

some more parts :) #ItaliaGB #histscalemodels thats metal tape from the hardware store 😆

Another one of my favourite builds to date. #HistScaleModels #ScaleModels
