Airfix 1/48 De Havilland Chipmunk T.10

A bit of a personal one this. A nice if fiddly in places kit from Airfix dressed up as the Chippie I got a couple of flights in during a Summer Camp at Leeming, many, many years ago. Primed with Mr. Finishing Surfacer 1500 Black. Painted [...]

2024 Dayton Wright Field Modelers IPMS Show

Photos from the 2024 Dayton Wright Field Modelers IPMS Show. A small vendor’s room but some great models on display. The show was literally just up the road from the National Museum of the United States Air Force, and it’s hard to [...]

Here is my Academy 1/48 A-10C Warthog. This represents a jet from the 354th Fighter Squadron “Bulldogs” supporting Operation Inherent Resolve in June 2017. Photo references show that these jets were covered with gun soot from nonstop [...]

Tamiya 1:48 Vought F4U-1A Corsair Kit #61070 1998 (new parts added)

This is one of Tamiya's finest kits in my opinion, nary a problem during the build.Looking for something different to do to a corsair, I stumbled upon the "colourized" photo shown. I can't vouch for the accuracy but it started my [...]
