Airfix Bolton Paul Defiant Mk.1 1/72

I remember looking at the old Airfix BP Defiant kit back in the 80ies and not being sure whether i should spend all my precious (little) money on such an odd looking plane (They had the black scheme with the shark teeth on the cover back [...]

Airfix Spitfire Vc

Greetings my fellow Imodelers. Haven‘t posted in a while, but here is my Spitfire Vc from Airfix. Tim Tozer made a spectacular build of this kit in flight last year, which was very inspiring: (link) Initially, i wanted to do the same [...]

Airfix Hawker Hurricane Mk.1 1/72

I have wanted to build this kit for quite some time. There’s some nice examples of this kit on this site. I used only AK Interactive acrylics for this one- their dark brown/green are much nicer than Ammo Mig‘s, tbh. Some panel line [...]

Airfix Nakajima B5N2 Kate 1/72nd scale

Airfix Nakajima B5N2 Kate, 1/72nd scale. I have wanted to do this kit for a long time - this is the Pearl Harbor 75th anniversary edition. Painted with Ammo mig and AK interactive acrylics (i painted the white stripes on the fuselage and [...]

Airfix Supermarine Swift 1/72

Another one done i have wanted to for a very long time. The Swift may not have been super successful but it looks great. This is what a jet from the 50ies is supposed to look like. Plus, that blue belly just got my attention. Many [...]

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 Blenheim 1/48

Airfix Blenheim Mk.1 1/48 RAF in Greece, 1941 Biggest plane i have built so far. I love the Blenheim in both 1/72 and 1/48, although the 72nd version has some fitting issues. I used the AK interactive Middle stone for the paint job, Ammo [...]

Airfix Gloster Meteor F.8 1/72

Just finished this newly tooled Airfix Gloster Meteor. Great detail, just the right amount of parts really to get to the pain job within a reasonable amount of time (i am not a patient person). The build is straightforward. Unfortunately [...]

Alright ladies and gentlemen, calling this one done. Airfix Mitsubishi Zero B-21, from the Dogfight set. Carrier Soryu, Battle of Midway, June 4th 1942. AK Interactive and Ammo Mig acrylics and a Ammo Mig panel line wash in ocre. As always [...]
