Re: My Small 1/18 Desert Army

I had to reposition them a few times before they stood on their own. The pins would have saved me quite a bit of time. Thankfully there was no wind. My next diorama I...

Re: My Small 1/18 Desert Army

  • An attack bird like the Skyhawk would be a nice addition to my Jet collection. I hope all goes well with the build and we see it in the future.

A Chuck Yeager "Glamorous Glennis" P-51D and a David Campbell F6F "Minsi III" would top my list. I would have to think if there were any others not already mentioned.
