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.

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 [...]

Mach2's Arado Ar232B transport

This build is part of the 'Imperial German...' group build, and given the age of the model and presentation of the parts, it is definitely a challenge. However, I'm pleased with the eventual outcome and this represents about two months of [...]

WnW Gotha G.IV - 'Lori2'

Hi... This is my latest build, Wingnut Wings' Gotha G.IV in 1/32 scale. A large, initially daunting but ultimately excellent kit to build, this has been a nine-week project which I have thoroughly enjoyed. The kit was finished in Humbrol [...]

Fokker Dr.I, Royal Prussian Jasta 11, Lechelle, 1918 (Ltn.Eberhard Mohnicke)

Hi... This is my offering of Roden's 1/32 scale Fokker F.1 triplane, finished as a Dr.I production variant. The kit is good but with some challenging areas, especially the attachment of the lower wing. I would recommend detaching the [...]

Hobbyboss 1/48 scale Bv141B

This is my build of the Hobbyboss Bv141 kit. It's a good kit that goes together well without too much effort, with the possible exception of painting all the canopy frames! Additions to the model are the 'Superfabric' seatbelts from [...]

Italeri's Do 24T flying boat

Hi, This is my recently completed Italeri Do24 kit. It's the upgraded version from 2013 and has a good deal of additional detail from the original 1978 model. I made the kit as part of the Imperial German Air Service group build, which [...]
