I live in Glasgow, Scotland, and my kits are WW1 & WW2 German aircraft. Currently, I have just over 200 built kits and running out of space! Most are WW2 subjects.

Wingnut Wings' LVG C.VI

This build shows my LVG C.VI in the markings of FAA233 in the closing months of WW1. One of the earliest WnW kits, it builds up into a very nice model and I like the contrast of camouflage, lozenge and black and white panels as well as [...]

Ju188A-2 conversion, using Revell Ju88A-1 & AIMS multi-media conversion set

Hi, guys... this is my latest offering, converting the 1/32 scale Revell Ju88 to a Ju188. I made this kit some years ago, but doing a review of my stored kits, I decided to take this one and refurbish it. It was finished as a [...]

Amodel's Dornier Do26

Well, this is a prime example of checking your reference sources, which I didn't. I really liked this colour scheme when I saw it ten years ago now, and promptly applied it to this model. Unfortunately, on tidying up the colour scheme [...]

Airfix's Dornier Do17Z-2

Hi, my recent build of this kit was just something to do that wasn't too taxing, and I chose to leave the bomb bay closed off and the flaps in neutral. Easily the best kit in 1/72 scale, this builds up into a very attractive kit and it has [...]

Wingnut Wings' DFW C.V

This was a piece of work I'd wanted to do for some time, and as I almost knocked this model out of the cabinet recently - by accident, I should say - I decided it was time to address the undercarriage issue, as it was very unsteady and [...]

Lukgraph's Rumpler 6B.1 in 1/32 scale

Hi, guys... this seaplane fighter design is one of my recent builds and is produced in resin, with 3D-printed parts and some PE items included as well. The build is relatively straightforward, although care really has to be taken when [...]

Great Wall HobbiesFw189 'Uhu'

Hi, guys... this is my refurb of my Fw189 kit which I finished about ten years ago. I tried using acrylic paint originally for the colour scheme, but it was a decided failure and I was sufficiently disappointed that I decided to strip the [...]

He111H-22 missile-carrier

This is my latest build using the ICM He111 and the Tamiya V-1 flying bomb. Although there are a few issues with the Heinkel, it does build up into a nice model and looks good alongside the V-1, which has no issues at all in construction. [...]

Special Hobby's 1/32 scale Fokker D.II

Hi, guys... this is my most recent build and although I thought it was a bit daunting when I bought it a couple of years back, it turned into quite a nice build. This was the second generation of Fokker fighters produced for the Imperial [...]

Supermodel's Blohm u. Voß Bv138C 'Seedrache' (The Flying Clog)

This is my last build for 2023, and it's the venerable Bv138C kit by Supermodel from the mid-1970s. I had intended to finish it in a colour scheme carried by a Bv138A variant, but noticed almost at the very last moment, that this wasn't [...]
