Miniart stug lll update. So far so good with the paint job. The decals took ages to apply 😂 The lower hull is weathered with oils and pigments and the upper hull just pigments so far. The tarp is a painted bit of tissue soaked into place.

A He 177 captured by the French Resistance at the end of August 1944, when the residents seized the Toulouse-Blagnac maintenance factories housing a number of He 177s. French national markings were applied, before it was sent to the United Kingdom for evaluation.

VE Day. A day that needs to be remembered, many died for this day. Millions died because of self-centred aggression. Lest we forget those who died fighting for all our freedoms in the wars across time.

Finished the Airfix F-80C Shooting Star, from their Vintage Classics range. I enjoyed the build, although it's an old kit and the fit is not always the best! Great decals though. #HistScaleModels

Sunday’s #ModelAircaft project is to lay down the markings on my 1/48th CA Hudson Mk. III - Using the Aviaeology decals to produce this successful RCAF sub-hunter commanded by S/L “Mollie” Small. A bit of clean-up on the tail flashes will be necessary but, so far so good ✌🏻

#WIP - Rough layout of “Missed Opportunities”. Troops from 4 Pzr Div look wistfully across the channel after the BEF evacuation from Dunkirk. Enjoying the small details - packs of cigarettes, map, jacket etc. can hopefully finish the vehicles this week once a new compressor arrives! #histscalemodels

Look at the US now! "In contrast to mechanized images of the Holocaust, child-killing involved personal deliberation of individual cases. This was intimate, done by the very doctors and nurses who cared for the children’s daily needs." Remember to resist! time.com/5255779/aspe...
