Airfix 1:24 Mustang, completed. Some issues with it, wheels too far extended, should be shorter at rest, the flaps should be down at rest, they are fixed on this kit. I guess I could have played about a bit and sorted it. ##histscalemodels #scalemodels

Done, this kit has fought me all the way, poor fit, flash, even the paint played up.I think mine was the friday kit, missing parts, the lot! A lot of the kit parts were off the sprues so I wonder if it didn't want to leave the mould so it got thrown together, who knows #histscalemodels #scalemodels

The Mustang is drying off and I will post images tomorrow of that, its been a pain in the arse, anyway next next is the final frontier with U.S.S Voyager. I'll see of I have any lighting bits laying around to give it some illumination. At scale 1:670 its a decent size kit. #scalemodels

Okay model building people, your help is requested. Anyone produce their own decals or know someone who does? Asking for a friend. An interesting sci-fi subject awaits. Please see the below. 👇🏻

Another, much younger, he had dishonourable discharged from the army in WW2, he got a mate to do his fitness tests because he had a glass eye, right eye. He managed 2 weeks in the army before they sussed him out. Love the hat.

Finished the Italeri 1:24 Willy's Jeep. Decided to do it a bit different and finished it a follow me vehicle. Basic kit with a pait job and some different decals. The follow me board is a piece of old bank card And mounted on 1mm brass rod. Enjoy #histscalemodels #scalemodels
