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' 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 [...]

ICM's 1/48 scale Gotha Go242A

Hi, guys... this Go242A kit is a recent addition into my collection and is rather a good kit to build, although there are a few tricky areas as well. Firstly, though, I have to apologise because I only realised a few days back that I had [...]

Special Hobby's 1/48 scale He115B-2/C

Hi, guys... this is my latest completed kit and another return to a kit I tried a few years back, and arguably, a better outcome this time. As anyone who has attempted this model will know, it's a difficult kit in places but certainly [...]

Me262A-1a/U3 reconnaissance version from Trumpeter's 1/32 scale kit

Hi... this is my recently completed conversion of the Me262 kit using the AIMS resin/PE conversion set. The kit builds up well with some care, and the conversion pieces are well made and with a little adjustment, make the kit look really [...]

Roland D.VIa, Jasta 23b, Epinoy, France, 1918

Hi, this is my latest completed model from the WnW range. The kit is a pleasure to build and is a really attractive subject for a model kit. The colour scheme was achieved by using enamel and oil paints, and lozenge pattern markings from [...]
