paul71 Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 a nice build Ian and a great finish, its a model I've resisted buying since I've got a decent stash (small compared to others 😂) but after seeing this i just might end up with one I've got the airfix ju52-3m float plane sat in the stash 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valhalla Posted August 10 Author Share Posted August 10 Very nice Ratch. Do you remember which paints you used? Yours seem to stand out better than the ones I used. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valhalla Posted August 11 Author Share Posted August 11 OK, that's pretty comprehensive 🙂 I take it you keep a record of each build? Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"how many kits in your stash" i think its about 150 kits (ive not kept my records up to date) not many compered to a lot of people but it would still take me over 3 years to build them I'm a slow builder really i might have two on go at once but a small space dictates a lot of what i can do all at once. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
