May 9, 2022I will be making a set of these AGM-45 Strike Duel combos as a removable extra for XH558.2
May 9, 2022Just because I have the Vulcans pylons and they look amazing when on!3
August 29, 2021After 6 years of being half built I've decided that the Vulcan needs finishing.
I start with drawing the lines for the Camo pattern.4
August 29, 2021Airbrushed Aggressor Grey.5
August 29, 2021My Mrs painted the camo.6
