Night Haunter…1/48 Boulton Paul Defiant Mk.I, RAF

Built in 2015. Initially my dad wanted to build a Defiant Mk.II nightfighter with the Classic Airframes kit with the fancy red codes but he didn´t get along with the itsy bitsy tiny PE parts for the antennas, so he decided to build a Mk.I [...]

Revell 1/48 Bristol Beaufighter TF.X

Airfix 1/72nd scale B-25 Mitchell (RAF version)

Here's Airfix's relatively new-tool 1/72nd scale B-25 Mitchell. This was built out of the box as a mojo-restorer and what a cracking little kit it was! It goes together beautifully, is crammed with detail and was an absolute pleasure - [...]
