Airfix 1/72 Dakota – D-Day Doll

Hi There, So, last year when the Dakotas were at Prestwick I took a run through on the Saturday with Innis and his pal on what turned out to be a particulary typical Scottish summer day. We were able to get on board D-Day Doll which for me [...]

Airfix 1/72 Spitfire Mk1A – In Turkish Service

Tonight I have finished my second Spitfire but this time in Turkish Colours. This one has been put together in secret as it will form part of the Christmas Eve Box for Innis, my nephew who normally helps with the builds. The kit was an [...]

Amusing Hobby 1/48 Focke Wulf Triebflügel – Red Skull’s Escape

After my sojourn with the Vulcan I decided that something mad was needed. I picked this up from Tiger Hobbies at a very good price as the box had been water damaged and figured it would be a good candidate for the Red Skull version from [...]

Airfix 1/72 Avro Vulcan B.2 XM597

Hi There, After my impatience with my IL-2 I decided to take David's advice and teach myself some patience. So, I thought, what better way to do this but by attempting the Vulcan that had been lying in the stash for four years. I had just [...]

Tamiya 1/35 Tiger 1 Early Production

I built this a while ago but thought I might show it off here as I'm now in my fourth week of sanding, filling and filing my attempt at the Airfix Vulcan. Having never built any 1/35 armour when I was younger and after being not so subtly [...]

Turkish Tigermeet Revell 1/72 F-16

Hi There, This was built as a surprise for Innis when he returns from his holiday. It was painted with Tamiya Acrylics and the transfers were Model Alliance Arctic Tigers. The seat belts and bang handle were scratched. The belts are a tad [...]

Merit 1/35 x-Craft

Hi There, Whilst Innis and I were building his Mustang, I was building this as a side project for myself. I didn't mean to get right into it but after taking it in to work on a Sunday evening to drill out the flood holes it got the better [...]

Airfix 1/72 Mustang P-51D with wrong decals

Hi There, It was decided by Innis that our next project would be a Mustang, but an RAF one. I had a couple of Mustangs picked up from Aldi, but no RAF decals. I managed to get some cheaply but they were for a Mustang III. Still, The Wee [...]

Revell 1/72 Horten Go-229

Hi There, this was built with and for my 10 year old nephew. He has taken a great interest in the hobby since my return a few months ago. I let him take a large part of this build, so all I really did was filling, sanding, masking and what [...]
