Hurricane Mk I, Sqdn Ldr Witold Urbanowicz
Christmas of 2003, my oldest son gave me the book, “A Question of Honor, The Kosciuszko Squadron” by Lynne Olson and Stanley Cloud. It was an eye opener, to say the least. I have been an avid follower of WWII aviation history since I [...]
Airfix/Academy Spitfire 21 “Frankenspit”
Waste not, want not. Done last year.
After the brilliant Airfix Spitfire XIV came out, I had no further use for the screwed-up Academy kit. Annd I had enough parts left over from some Airfix Spitfire 22/24 projects that I had a fuselage [...]

Airfix 1/48 Boulton Paul Defiant, 264 Squadron, England, July 1940
Hi all,
Hope you are all doing fine.
My next submission is a 1/48 Boulton Paul Defiant from Airfix.
