This Weekend in The Hangar: As a "tip of the hat" to the current Italian Group Build, we take a look back at my Italian era with several types featured 5-10 years back, like this smokin' C.205 Veltro #HistScaleModels #ModelAircraft #FinishedKits www.flypastrush.com/post/smoking...
5 months on. It would have been Monty's 17th birthday today. These are previous birthday portraits. The youngest one is on his 8th. The shed of beer and plastic is quieter without the presence of "security".
Personal announcement for #ItaliaGB. The aim was to get 4 across the line. On close inspection of the Veltro, it will not be appearing. I really really should read reviews and a bit of design history before throwing cash at things.
I have changed my mind often about the approach to this tricky scheme. Even after applying the first coat, I am not entirely sure. Anyways.... #ItaliaGB #histscalemodels
Not much to the Saetta cockpit but it has taken a while. The instrument panel had 11 steps. #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
Without naming it, post a photo or a gif of your favourite TV show

Rich. I'll do it Dreckly. ME/CFS@shadowcaster6656.bsky.social · 2w agoWell one of many favourites............
Actually did some work on the modelling bench this week. What you see us a 1/48 Vampire on an airfield apron. The plan is to put the whole thing in a picture frame and mount it on my wall. #histscalemodels
Now that Folgore is at the "paint, wait 24 hours, paint , wait 24 hours " stage, and I loathe dead bench time, it's time to get to grips with the Saetta #ItaliaGB #hiscalemodels
Super quick build of Trumpeters 32 P47, in Gabreskis markings from July 44.
I will touch it no more, added mud and fuel stains and it is done. No idea, where will I put it so kids won't destroy it. #histscalemodels i need to learn how to arrange for finished kit photoshoot.
Look what has just arrived. It doesn't qualify for #ItaliaGB but it finally gives me the opportunity to build one. #histscalemodels
Why isn't it #ItaliaGB yet......I am ready and roaring to go
Latest off the #histscalemodels work bench. JSDF Type 16 MCV, Tamiya 1/48. A quick fun build.
Always brings a smile when an utter cunt dies. A few more needed.

#ItaliaGB will start in five days with 23 entries in scales from 1/12 to 1/350 announced.🙌 Really looking forward to see all these Ducati, Macchi, Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Abarth, Reggiane and Ansaldo come to life! 🤗 #histscalemodels
#histscalemodels 1/48 is way too demanding of my very limited figure painting skills. Should be passable in situ.
Had to take a break from #histscalemodels as the Border Zero sapped a lot of enthusiasm. But I am back and fully energised. As always Tamiya 1/48 armour works as the reboot
This Weekend in The Hangar: More new arrivals are being processed by the maintenance crew today. An additional wing was recently completed so the team has been working on finding these Mustangs a suitable place. #HistScaleModels #ModelAircraft #FinishedKits
