1/48 Baltimore (and 1/72 Albacore) in the milling shop....

Image
 I’m glad we already have the box art for the Baltimore. But having box art isn’t enough. That’s why our milling machines are working hard.

Messerschmitt Bf 109E-1 'J/88 Legion Condor' - a model built by Mihály András

Image
Mihályi András sent us photos of his Bf 109E-1 model. He built it from the 1/72 scale kit SH72459 Messerschmitt Bf 109E-1 ‘J/88 Legion Condor’. He won a silver medal with it at this year’s Mosonmagyaróvár Model Show in the Master Propeller Aircraft 1/72 category. By all accounts, the model truly deserved the award; it is very nicely built.
