Full Battle of Britain fighter stable finished!
Seven months back I build Tamiya's new release Spitfire Mk.1 and decided to do one of each of the fighters used in the Battle of Britain in 1/48 scale. With the Bf 109E-3 I posted about yesterday, the collection is finished!

Josef Priller’s Bf 109E-3 in 1/48
My attempt at the very unusual field resprayed scheme worn by JG.51's Josef Priller's Messerschmitt Bf 109E-3 during the Battle of Britain. This one is a nightmare to do freehand but is very satisfying in the end.

Unusual Battle of Britain Hurricane in 1/48, Airfix kit
Nearing the end of my Battle of Britain fighters collection in 1/48, I picked up Airfix's new tool Hurricane but could only get hold of the Tropical version. The kit allows you to build a Mk.1 but needed custom decals so bought an [...]
GWH's new 1/48 Su-35 'Flanker-E' – The Russian Beasty
This is my (somewhat late due to box and kit complexity intimidation) attempt at GWH's new and monstrous Sukhoi Su-35S 'Flanker-E' in 1/48th Scale. With the characteristic metal heat staining, subtle three tone camo scheme and huge [...]

All feedback welcome as ever! 🙂

Messerschmitt Bf 109E-4 in 1/48 from Eduard
I've been putting this kit off for a while until I felt calm enough to do the freehand mottling scheme required by these early Emils.
I reckon she looks great next to the recent Battle of Britain Spitfire by Tamiya...reminds one just how [...]
‘Rasberry Ripple’ ETPS Hawker Hunter in 1/48 (Academy)
Hi all,
Had a crack at the limited edition Academy 1/48th scale Hawker Hunter release over the weekend... didn't really like the schemes out of the box and have been wanting to do an Empire Test Pilot School (ETPS) 'Rasberry Ripple' scheme [...]
Happy New Year, Happy New Tool Spitfire! Tamiya’s new Mk.Ia built…
A new Spitfire for the New Year!
I'm sure many of you have been looking at Tamiya's new release and new tool Supermarine Spitfire Mk.1 in 1:48 scale. Here follows my two cents having built it over the last few days of the Christmas [...]
Dassault Mirage IIIC from Eduard 1/48 Scale Kit
Christmas break build here - an Eduard weekend edition (lol, took much longer than that!) Mirage IIIC kit with the very eye-catching early Armee de l'Air scheme.
Had some serious fit issues requiring a lot of filler, sanding and fuselage [...]
