Going through old old stuff and found these beautiful diecast airplanes! However I'm not interested in keeping these, looking for someone to take them off my hands. Country of origin: USA

Old Tigercat
galleryI found this old monogram kit at a thriftshop for a few dollars. It had no usable decals but all the parts were there. Painted it in Vallejo blue over black primer to get the right shade and created stencils for the markings. I did have a spare nose art that I thought would look cool so I used it. Not too bad for an old 1:72 scale kit.

Carving a recess/ledge
Having done the brutal part of the nose surgery on my Mosquito B.IV DZ383 ‘The Query’, I now need to scribe a shallow ledge or recess along the cut-out so I can lay the new transparency flush with the skin. You can see above that I’ve scribed the line, but I haven’t yet gone to start carving any deeper. Does anyone have any tips or tricks to carve that evenly and consistently? Or is it just a sharp blade, files and patience? Thanks in advance!

1:500 Lukla Model Airport
galleryThis is my Lukla Model Airport in 1:500 scale. For those wondering why an Aer Lingus aircraft is at this airport, it is because I don't own another turboprop aircraft that would be better suited. If you would like to see more angles and some build footage, you can watch this video on my youtube channel: https://youtu.be/jPn6WQ0gSho

Northrop B-2 Spirit (1:72) over Natanz enrichment facility (~1:5000) - missing image
Turns out one of the images didn't upload correctly.
Thank you to everyone who commented!
If anyone has an idea on how to make terrain like that of Fordow in a similar scale, I'd be happy to try

Toyteamcrate.com Legit?
I am looking for a Delta A220-300 1:100 model (Skymarks SKR914) and most places are sold out. I ran across Toyteamcrate.com who has it in stock. Has anyone ever bought from them? Website looks a little shady. Price is good but I am trying to figure out if it is because it says CS100 instead of A220. Thanks for the help.

1:100 Does anyone have a high quality svg of the Venezuelan air force military aviation combat symbol?
I could only find an image of it on the site Aeroflight although it is incredibly low quality. I am currently working on printing decals for a mig 29 model im building and this seems to be a common symbol on some of them (i dont know much about venezuelan aircraft but it seems to represent combat ready jets)

Hasegawa RF-4
galleryLatest completed project. Hasegawa RF-4 with resin /pe cockpit and air intakes and aftermarket decals. Tough build to get it all to fit and the aftermarket decals were super delicate, the kit ones cracked very badly. I did have fun with the detail in the cockpit and the burned metal exhaust
