From Manchester UK

I have been modelling on and off for about 20 years

like most guys built planes and tanks as a kid

then did the Family thing settled down had two kids

got on with everyday stuff then slowly got back into the hobby and so here i am today modelling mad with a huge stash that i wont live long enough to build!,I build mostly Aircraft 1/144 upwards 1/72 is my favourite scale i have built the odd tank,

to be honest my building skills are not great if anything im a bit lazy i tend to rush to get to my favourite part the painting and weathering.

i am a member of the 580 modellers and the Bolton IPMS modellers club, since joining the clubs i have picked up some great new techniques and made some great new mates

Revell (X MPM) Meteor F4

Hi All, Another oldie i built this last year its the Revell (X MPM) Meteor F4 or as we brits call it The Meat Box. Not a bad kit, nice surface detail the cockpit isn't great but a perfect candidate for fitting the Eduard Zoom Etch which i [...]

Mig 21F-13 A Six Day War Survivor

Hi All, This build is from quite some time ago and its one of my rare jaunts over to 1/48 its the Trumpeter kit and it is a really nice bit of plastic to say the least, detail is top notch, the cockpit in my opinion doesn't need anything [...]

Vampire T11 Airfix 1/72

Airfix's Little Gem, This is a really neat little kit no vices at all, the only thing that is a little odd is one of the joint/panel lines on the underside is slightly wide and there's not a lot you can do about it as it is on a natural [...]

Heinkel HE219 A-7
