A UK expatriate now settled in Australia & living in Brisbane's Northern Suburbs.
I mostly build 1/48 scale aircraft, though I am known to take diversionary strolls into the one true scale (1/72) & build the odd 1/35th AFV. I returned to the hobby back in the early nineties when a mate from work sold me some of his old kits. I went on to build intermittently (read once in a blue moon) and am now trying to make amends.
The C-1 was the low to medium altitude version of the Ta 152 and in all probability, according to the available references never got to full flying prototype stage.
This project is a bit of a "what-if" and has been finished as [...]
An interesting if somewhat futile exercise in kitbashing a Supermarine Seafire XV:
This was made from the leftover wings from my Airfix Supermarine Seafire XVII and grafting it onto the modified fuselage of Airfix's Supermarine Spitfire [...]
The Eduard 1/48 Messerschmitt Bf 108, completed back in late 2013 & continuing my theme of Polish operated aircraft. The kit is finished to represent the markings of the "Central Staff of the Aviation League" operated by the [...]

The Hobby Boss 1/72 Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat, "Easy Assemble Authentic Kit".
I got this as a christmas gift from my in-laws back in 2008 & though I don't normally do 1/72 scale I thought it would be a simple project to get [...]
Seeing as we're having a bit of a Wildcat theme going on here I thought I'd post my efforts as well.
As has been written before the Tamiya Wildcat is a great kit to build.
Pretty straightforward in construction, the only fiddly bit I [...]
I had a fascination for this aircraft ever since I heard the stories that Bugatti had attempted to build a plane aimed at taking on the world speed record for 1939/1940. This was a very radical design, using forward swept wings, a [...]
