Review: Airfix 1/48 Spitfire F.XIV, “Johnny” Johnson
History:
It's a strange but interesting fact that the only "built for that specific powerplant" Spitfire to achieve a large production run was the Mk.I; while there were several other Marks specifically designed to make maximum [...]
F-51D, 12th FBS, 18thFBG, Korea 1952 – Forgotten war Group Build,1/72 Airfix
Another Airfix 1/72 gem of a kit. The fit is great, as are the decals. I did the Korean war selection kit decals. Which must have been a popular plane as Tamiya's and Italeri's 1/72 also offers the same bird in their 1/72 kits. As great [...]
Howard Squire's Spitfire Mk Ia
For the longest time I was keen on buying some of the British specialty magazines devoted to aviation and would follow their stories on the restoration of rare World War II aircraft. Of particular interest was the recovery and restoration [...]
Tamiya A6M5, 1/48. The Eternal Zero.
The most iconic Japanese aircraft is easily the Mitsubishi A6M, and Tamiya's most recent tooling from 2008 absolutely does justice to such a plane. Before going any further this kit can be summed up as 'absolutely recommended', or 'one of [...]
1/48th Westland Lynx AH.7

With this build, I continue my “love affair” with the Polish expatriate pilots of RAF 303 Sqdn (Poland) and their service to the U.K. during WWII. Following the Battle of Britain, and over time, the unit transitioned to various models [...]
AIRFIX 1:48 SPITFIRE MK.I (Kit Number A05115A)
I built this in tandem with the build I posted yesterday using the earlier and slightly easier to build kit. This is the other famous 57 OTU aircraft, LV⦿N, s/n AR212. I shamelessly copied from yesterdays article...Innards were painted [...]

1/48 Airfix P-51D Mustang (Filletless Tail). This project was the subject of an IPMS/USA review article that can be found here: (link)
Airfix 1:48 Spitfire Mk. I (Kit Number A05126)
The newest Mk.I kit with the fuel tank cover and landing gear issues. Other than that, a great kit. This is WZ⦿H of 19 Squadron, Duxford, 4th May 1939. Innards were painted with Tamiya XF-71 Cockpit Green. Masking tape harnesses. The [...]
