Camaro '69 1:72

This became my first model I've built in a decade. I have a passion for old american muscle cars. When gas was cheap and max horse power was the objective.

First I painted on a primer and gave it 3 coats of Ruby Red.

Here I painted the under carriage, motor and axel.

 The finished car. Placed the decals. One mistake I made was I didn't buy Clear Fix (glue for clear parts) the windshield became milky on the edges. The kit was very good, good directions. One thing was that the under carriage was slightly twisted  nothing major but made it difficult to make the car leveled.

Messerschmitt Me Bf 110 E-1 1/72

This became my first plane model in many years, when my passion was reignited. The Me-110 from Revell was fun to build. I recommend to do a bit of research on the camo; find pictures from different angles. It does make a difference in the end, making the model more realistic

 Here I've glued together the fuselage and wings. Small adjustments were required, but nothing major.  Keep rubber bands and clothespins near at hand when gluing.

Think through how it's put together and how you're going to be able to paint certain details.

Here, I've painted on the camo

Here we have the finished plane. Varnishing the plane brings a more realistic feel to it, the shiny decals and their edges blends into the paint work. The directions were good and the model kit was of good quality. For more information about the plane click here.
