    I just made them as straight out of the box, each pair consist of 1 Revelle kit and 1 Zvedsa. (I know which I prefer to build!)

    I've not had this much fun in ages, and just went for a 'looks about right' paint job.

    Cant wait to do more, I can see the facination now. There is something cool about creating your own planes.

    Nice job on those. Check out the F-Toys that Rich has done. No painting required.

    The Japanese LOVE their WWII aircraft and the amount of 1/144 kits available is incredible!

    I've no idea, currently though another company similar to F-Toys has a ME109 collection running - EVERY variant at 1/144 scale.
