Hi folks!
For those of you who don't know me, I'm from Newcastle upon Tyne and have been an iModeler member since 2013.
I'm a chef by trade, which drastically cuts into my modelling time! Looking forward to retirement now though, just 32 years to go!

Farewell Tornado

Hi folks. Just finished this one, the recently retired Panavia Tornado. This variant is the F.3 ADV, used in air superiority roles. For those of you unfamiliar, the Tornado was the RAF flagship fast jet replaced by the Eurofighter project, [...]

Subaru Imprezza WRC '99

Hi folks! It has been a while! I started working away again at the end of last summer, so didn't get much build time through the autumn and winter. Our hotel had to close though due to recent events, and I am currently furloughed back [...]

Mig-29M

Hi folks, hope you all are well! Here is my latest build, the Mig 29M. It is a modern variant of the earlier 29 and is often referred to as the Mig-33, although I have no idea why... The 29M features a number of upgrades to the electronics [...]

Yamaha YZF R1M

Hi again folks, I've got another motorcycle here for you. The R1M! I do have a soft spot for Yamaha bikes. I've been lucky enough now to have owned three. I've owned an R6, and two R1's. And I've never crashed a Yamaha neither, so I [...]

Fairchild Republic A-10

Merry Xmas! Well it's nearly Xmas anyway so I'll get it out the way... This is my last build for the year, the Hobby Boss 1/48 A-10 Thunderbolt II. Or at least that's what it says on the box, the aeroplane goes by a few different nicknames [...]

Grumman-Mercedes X-29

How to use up your old car and bike decals... Buy the cheapest 1/72 kit from your local shop, then put your own stamp on it. This is the NASA X-29 air racer! Based on the legend of the Sauber Mercedes silver arrows. Maybe this could be a [...]

LaFerrari

Hi folks, hope everyone is well! Some time back I posted an article on a Ferrari engine as part of a work in progress. I'm pleased to say that many months later I have finally finished it. To those of you who are not already familiar with [...]
