Re: 1:3.7 scale FN5 turrets for filming

That's amazing work, Tim. I didn't realize their size until I saw your hand in one during the video. They seem much larger due to the incredible detail.

What's the plan with the Wellington once finished?

Cheers,

Re: 299 Squadron Stirling Build - Arnhem

Re: 299 Squadron Stirling Build - Arnhem

Thanks Guy, and some outstanding work on your part. I especially like the look of the undercarriage. It gave me fits when I built the Italeri Stirling a couple three years ago, especially since it had to be installed early in the building process.

Cheers,

Mark

Re: Italeri Short Stirling

Re: Short Stirling Sanger 1:48 scale Kit - Build

Cheers,

Mark
