Re: Latest Acquesitions - pt.3
Today after AMPS was time for the monthly visit to Andy’s. I picked up several paints for a few projects that I currently have going,,, and then I found this damaged box JGSDF LAV on the clearance table… all in all good stuff!

Well if I can make mine look like this I'll be a happy plastic dorkBrandons_Iron wrote: ↑Sat Jan 11, 2025 3:58 pm I've built the Hawkeye. Awesome plane with tons of detail. Wingroot to fuselage is known to be warped. Plenty of heat and clamps will bring it into shape. With the wings unfolded it is nearly the same size as the 1/48 B-17, just a tad smaller.

Her daughter (my wife) and I share the same birthday. She spent big money on my wife this year for her birthday. So she asked if I wouldn't mind just getting a small item. These decals are perfect for me.
