This build was cursed. That is all.
Problems were mostly caused by my own clumsiness, not the GWH kit, which in terms of fit and surface detail is fantastic.
Dropped the model, breaking a stabiliser and meaning I had to redo the first [...]
This collection has taken around two years to complete due to only having access to a workshop on an irregular basis. Each kit took just under a week.
German Fighters:
Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-8 Anton
Focke-Wulf Fw 190D-9 Dora
Messerschmitt Bf [...]
I had this Mk.XVI kit after buying it initially to supply parts to my mammoth Mk.XIV high-back Spitfire kit bash project (found here: (link)). A relatively straightforward build notwithstanding the usual fiddly nature of Eduard Spitfires - [...]
A straightforward build of Eduard's 1/48 scale FW 190A-8 finished in the colours of Blue 4 of JG.5 stationed at Eismeer in Norway in April of 1945.

This is Eduard's ProfiPack series Messerschmitt Bf-109G-10 as built by the Wiener Neustädter Flugzeugwerke (WNF) factory with the enlarged wooden tail. My example has been finished as a very late war JG/51 aircraft 'Rosemarie' which was [...]
Eduard's excellent but slightly tricky-to-build quarter scale Hawker Tempest Mk.V finished as Pierre Clostermann's mount at the end of the Second World War.
The kit is a bit fiddly by Eduard standards but fit is generally good. The only [...]
This is probably the most popular kit released recently and I've finally got around to finishing my build. Went for aftermarket decals because the two markings offered from the box are pretty dull to my eyes. Also has the benefit of being [...]
This is a quick three day build of Tamiya's superb quarter scale F-16 series...
I've been meaning to do one for years and finally got around to it - a stunning kit that goes together perfectly. Chose the Tiger Meet markings to add a bit [...]
A 1/48 scale Tamiya kit build of Major George Bostwick's extremely colourful P-47M 'Hotrod' Thunderbolt as it was in mid-1945 after shooting down a Messerschmitt Me-262A jet. To celebrate this feat, it was marked with the addition of a [...]
