Airfix de Havilland Mosquito PR.XVI 1945, 1/72

Having completed the new issued Airfix Mosquito kit earlier this year, i knew i was in for a treat. The PR version flown by the South African Air Force in Italy was a must ever since it was first announced last year. Look at that [...]

Airfix Defiant Mk.I, 1/48. 'The Daytime Daffy'

1/48 Airfix DeHavilland Vampire F.3

My growing collection of twin boomers!... I completed this one last week in my Vampire feast...looking to do a 1/72 and 1/144 one too! IT was a pretty nice build..no real issues BUT it does need considerable nose weight to avoid tail [...]
