Eclipse August 12th 2026, Kerry, Ireland.
This was a sensational experience. Cloudy all day and then it cleared just in time for the eclipse

Reasonably happy with how this came together, but not a fun build, bang average kit, hardly a guide pin in sight, and whoever designed the undercarriage needs a stern talking to. Think I could’ve done a bit more with the weathering but calling it done.

Horton Go 229, Revell 1/72
What a mad plane this was. A glider with 2 jet engines attached effectively.
A decent kit from Revell, the canopy was a bit of a bodge job though, and the decals were ancient and silvered very badly. Otherwise went together ok.

FW200 C5 Condor, Revell 1/72
Good kit this, was very pleasantly surprised with how well it all went together. Monster of a thing though, far too big for my light box, only 1/72 scale but bigger than anything I’ve built before. Squiggle camo was done with an AK RLM76 marker, happy with how that came out.
