Airfix Hawker Hurricane Mk.1 1/72
I have wanted to build this kit for quite some time. There’s some nice examples of this kit on this site.
I used only AK Interactive acrylics for this one- their dark brown/green are much nicer than Ammo Mig‘s, tbh.
Some panel line [...]

1/48 Airfix Spitfire Mk. XIVe
I received this kit as the lucky winner of the April 2019 random drawing . I wanted to do a full span Spitfire and the decal options in the kit were for clipped wing versions. I figured some aftermarket company would release the markings I [...]
1/48 Airfix Anson Mk1
Just completed my Airfix Avro Anson Mk1 6013, formerly RAF 9943. Borden Ontorio using Iliad decals.
The interior was the most enjoyable part of the build for me. I had some fit issues, but it may have been my fault. Not sure tbh.

From the Archive: Airfix/MPC 1/144 Boeing 727.

One day about a year ago, I saw a decal sheet [...]
Airfix 1/48 Avro Anson Mk.I

Painted with Ammo mig and AK interactive acrylics (i painted the white stripes on the fuselage and [...]
Flying the Orient Express: the Handley Page H.P.42 Heracles!
I would like to preface this article with one remark: I have hardly found such amazingly good and varied photographic material for any other aircraft of this era than in the search for material on the H.P.42 Heracles! In pictures whose [...]
Airfix 1/72 H81-A2/P-40B
Here is Airfix's 1/72nd scale Flying Tigers Curtiss H81-A2 (P-40B) . I really like Airfix's newer 1/72nd scale kits. Some modelers complain about the heavy pannel lines but once the kit is premed and painted they really get toned down to a [...]
