Hasegawa Fiesler Storch Grand Sasso
The Storch is finally finished after 5 months. There was a bit of a hiccup in January when I lost my Mojo but now I'm please to say that it has fully returned.

Revell 1/32 He162 'salamander'
Well here's a departure from my usual builds this one's got no prop. I found this in my local toy shop for £15 which is a fare price and the first time I've seen the kit locally.
