As part of my Battle of Berlin plan, I am building Bf-109 aircraft. These are the Heller kit, 1/72nd scale plastic. Did I mention I was going to build ten at a time?
These worthy volunteers have chosen a career in aviation. The Heller kit does not come with a pilot and I like pilots in my planes.
These pilots came from several walks of life, including being Kibri people. Kibri kits sometime have rather mannequin type figures.
Building ten kits at once is it's own skill. First I build one as a training exercise. Then I build another for more training and incorporating shortcuts that I came up with during the construction of the first one. Then I build a third one using all the shortcuts and making annotations to the instructions.
