Sword's F-3D Skyknight. Nice model, I did have to separate the intakes from the main engine bays in order to properly blend the intakes with milliput - but honestly it's difficult to see how Sword could have done [...]
Here's the latest. Airfix's recent Harrier GR.9 converted to a GR.5. Nose is from Quickboost. Pilot is from PJ Productions. Thousand pounders from the Revell Tornado, Sidewinders from the Hasegawa weapons set. Painted with Mr Color, decals [...]
Here's this weeks model. It's the new Airfix Lightning F.2A converted back to an F.1A. The tank is from a Trumpeter kit, which was cut out, reshaped, and used to cast a resin replacement. It's still all sorts of wrong really, and I have [...]

My favourite pony in my favourite scale from my current favourite short run company. About three days work. Primed with Mr Surfacer 1000 to spot flaws and work that still needs doing.
Airfix 1/72nd nearly finished. Special markings, one of the most involved masking jobs I've ever done. Most of the white is decal, everything else is masked and sprayed. Another publicity model for Airfix.
New tool 1/72nd scale kit built straight from the box, finished with the marking from the beginner set. Publicity model for Airfix
Couple week's work. Nearing completion now. Still detail work and some weathering with pigments and the like to go. Really nice build.
