Airfix 1/72 Buccaneer (old mold)
Here’s my build of the 1/72 Airfix Buccaneer S.2B (1989 mold). It’s an old kit, and I decided to build it side-by-side with the new Airfix Buccaneer. Since there is little detail in the wheel wells and cockpit, I decided to build it as [...]
Classic Airfix Typhoon (1959) Tweaked Just a bit
On this kit I used a replacement Falcon vacu-form canopy, a prop and wheels from the Academy kit. Paint by Tamiya. Even thought it is over 60 years old it does scale well on a Bentley plan. This was a simple and fun build.
Harrier GR.3, 3 Sqn RAF, 1/72 Airfix
I built this model back in 2019, nearly two years ago.
The Harrier has been on my wish list for a very long time, and I finally bought one when Airfix released its new tool kits. I love the new Airfix releases, the designers really manage [...]
Classis Kit: Original Airfix 1/72 Defiant (1960)
When I looked at the kit I knew there was something wrong with the nose outline so I sat aside. Later at a show in a sale box there a resin nose by DB Productions for the Airfix Defiant for $1. I remembered my Airfix kit so I bought and [...]

This is the Airfix Do217 first issued in 1960. It came packaged in a small box and molded in light blue plastic. The model is built as the instructions indicated without alterations and painted with the paints recommended by Airfix. The [...]
Classic Kit: Airfix 1/72 Me-262 Kit # 110 (1960)
When Airfix issued their new Me-262 kit I decided to build the original kit for a fun comparison. The original early kit is built out of the box and I used the second set of markings from the new kit. As most early kits from that era the [...]
1/72 Airfix Royal Navy Buccaneer S2C, 800 NAS, HMS Eagle, June 1971
G'day all. It's been a while between drinks. It just so happens I reduced the stash by one over the weekend.
This is the lovely 1/72 Airfix S2C Buccaneer. It's a great kit to build with only two real gripes. I found that the inserts for [...]
M8 ‘HELLCAT’
This is number 2 of 3 builds I've had going on at the same time, and all just getting finishing touches added to them before I have been able to declare them 'finished'. So this one is now... 'finished' (The first of the 3 was my previous [...]
Airfix 1/72 Wellington Mk 1a/c "R" Robert
Alongside my He111, I'm also making the Airfix new mould kit. I'm going to be doing "R" Robert. I will therefore be building her in the Mk1a configuration. The actual aircraft was recovered from Loch Ness back in the 1980's and [...]
