Into all things 1/48 WW1 and WW2. Aircraft, dios, armour etc. favourite topics are, Luftwaffe, RAAF , Dutch airforce, BoB, and anything that flies from around 1914-1946 essentially. 🙂
Recently started WW1 subjects. All of 2021. Can't see myself doing anything else for a while, unless more WW2 British bombers get released. Keeping an eye on that Beaufort release. LOL. 2023 now and I'm now getting into some 1/48 afv. And that Beaufort was one of my favourite builds of 2022.
P51D-5 flown by Lt John Howell 364th FS, 357thFG 8th Airforce RAF Leiston, July 1944. 1/48 Airfix Pleasure to build. I had to paint over the red checkered decals s my insignia red didn’t quite match. But a steady hand seemed to work. I [...]

My completed Claude. A fun build though the engine was a bit challenging to fit. In the markings of Hokoku no.132nd, Lait Go, No. 12th naval air corps, China. Love the striking red/bare metal finish. #finemolds
My first completed model this year... I think. Bristol Blenheim Mk1 Green 139 RAF 1938. 1/48 Airfix kit.
Went together very nicely. I'm so excited that Airfix has produced so many wonderful 1/48 Raf subjects. I'm sure they will keep them [...]
A quick easy build after my Special Hobby Fiat Br20. Amt 1/48 P-40N-20 Cleopatra 111 flown by Wing Commander G Atherton 80 Squadron RAAF Noemfoor July 1944.
Very simple build. I almost didn't post cause it's nothing special but I enjoyed [...]
