I'm calling the Academy AH-1W finished, I had an absolute blast, especially with the skip eyelets/rotor tie downs and going all in on Abt 502 oils. Its been a while since they were a major part of my weathering, but its starting to work its way back in. #HistScaleModels #scalemodel #buildthestash

On today's episode of "An Hour's Worth of Work No One Will Ever See", this pallet, soon to be covered with ammo boxes. What is my life?
Adding graphic design to the list of things I've dabbled with as part of the #histscalemodels craft... #scalemodels #malaysia

Multiple projects ongoing at the same time. To the Tamiya Mosquito, I started Miniart Dora and absolutely horrendous Aichi by ZTS Plastyk, which is intended to be painted by my 4yo so idc. Do the thick tamiya decals peel or do i need to sand them down? Does anyone know? #histscalemodels
Really happy with how the DC-10 engines are turning out! #histscalemodels #scalemodels #planemodels #planes
Working on putting the IIAF markings on this F-14A Tomcat. Interesting 🤔 it has a mix of USN maintenance stencils on it as well. #HistScaleModels #ModelAircraft
Mostly done. Not happy, not unhappy. Learned a lot. Enjoyed the build. Never hung one from the ceiling. Fishing line? (Totally wrong color for interior. goofed that up) #histscalemodels

Trying the oil dot technique on 1:72 plane. I might have little bit overdone it, but it is supposed to be May 45. Also it is advisable not to do it on matt finish #histscalemodels
Another build I was pleased to make some progress with this weekend is this ancient Airfix 1/48 Spitfire Vb kit. The Dark Earth is from SMS, and will be paired with an ancient jar of Dark Green from Gunze, which could be interesting. Stay tuned! #scalemodels #histscalemodels #airfix #spitfire
The August issue just hit the street. 💥 This month, Managing Editor @terencecgannon.com (re)discovers scale, radio-controlled model aircraft as a result of the FAI news feed. Spoiler alert: they're a universe away from the little stick-and-tissue P-51s we tried to build as kids. | 🛩️ 📡 🥇

Finally got the Dingo done! Stowage on last night, matt varnish first thing this morning, followed by small fuel stains on the petrol cans and then a dust coat. Onwards to the figures and the Tamiya M10 Achilles, which will be out of the box #histscalemodels #scalemodels

#HistScaleModels #ScaleModels Its shaping up to be beauty. Mig-29 my beloved 🥰 I will need to weight it a bit more. Taped the weighted nose to it to test where is center of gravity and it might need some more weight
Made an eye at the end of the rope and attached it to the hook. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels
The first coat of blue is on the GT40. I'll let it dry over the weekend, sand out any blemishes and give it another coat. #histscalemodels #buildthestash
Stef N@stefjn.bsky.social · 2w agoGT40 base is finished and the body now ready for the primer coat. Not the greatest kit but easy to assemble. A couple of bits are poor fitting and I am a bit worried about getting the two parts together. #histscalemodels #buildthestash
🐌🪖Churchill's were kit magnets Cromwell used those hygiene gloves and tape for the tarp. The Kubelwagon, used dried baby wipes for bed rolls. What else do peeps use for bed rolls, tarps, etc. #scalemodels #histscalemodels #tamiya
Chengdu J-7EB as flown by the PLAAF Ba Yi Aerobatic Team in the late 90s. Nice little 1:144 kit from Trumpeter; can't go wrong for a fiver! modelart.tardate.com/projects/pla... #histscalemodels #144scale
Junkers Ju-87B, 1/72, Airfix (new tooling) #scalemodels #scalemodeling #histscalemodels
After months of painting, repainting, sanding, stalling, shelfing and repainting the fairings of the Gauloises bike has been completed. Now for the decals and hopefully finish line. #histscalemodels #buildthestash
Stef N@stefjn.bsky.social · 7mo agoMy first kit for the #buildthestash challenge will be this old Yamaha bike. I have some different decals for it and the paints all ready to start. #histscalemodels #scalemodels
