Bonjour and good morning #histscalemodel gang!

Decal day 4. I was fearing the worst after trouble with fuel tank stencils but it is going well so far.

#histscalemodels.

As an aside the rain has finally stopped after 22 days of the stuff. Mostly because it is colder so it is snow instead.

I did just that a couple of years ago. Bought one of the newly rereleased classics. It was a box of flash, parts were indistinguishable from sprue. Save your cash.

Superb, the only caveat is that it is a twin boxing with markings that are vaguely different. The kit itself is great. The cockpit (my favourite part of a build) is the mutts.

Yum, Mrs B did a Burns Supper. It was ace. As usual we discussed why we don't have it more often. Tomorrow we will forget this conversation for a year.

I don't have much brand loyalty as you have seen from #buildthestash stocktake. Saved the best to last. Eduard are my favourite kit manufacturer, but boy are they intense builds, so I only build a couple a year. One Zero has been built from Tora Tora Tora box.

Imperfections happen in real life. Incredibly difficult to replicate. However happy accidents are a thing.

It looks great.

The MiG-15s are special edition, which explains why they are still stash bound.

The Tamiya section is the largest. If I am going to succeed in #buildthestash I probably have to put aside my view that armour is placed in a vignette/diorama
