I started the hobby as a kid, making aircraft and race cars. Recently returned after a long hiatus, I usually only build one or two kits a year due to time constraints.
I model WWII aircraft in 1/48 scale pretty much exclusively, with a particular interest in late war German contraptions.
G’day folks, I’ve been away from the bench for about 6 months so I thought I’d knock up something simple to get my eye back in.
This is the Tamiya bf109 E-3 in 1/48. It represents an aircraft from JG 3 during the Battle of France. [...]
G’day folks, here is an early zero from Eduard.
Nice kit but I managed to find a way to make it difficult. Despite exercising due care on the construction of the wheel wells and main wing, I had trouble mating it to the fuselage. I had [...]
This is a Hobby 2000 reboxing of Hasegawa’s 1/48 P-40N. Aside from PE belts and resin exhausts, it’s built out of the box.
Not the most original scheme, but arguably the meanest looking fighter of the war, so it was a “must have” [...]
A few years ago I was fortunate enough to have a flight in a P-51 over Moreton Bay in Queensland, Australia.
Needless to say, it was an awesome experience. We spent half an hour doing aerobatics and mock strafing runs on yachts in the bay. [...]
Here is my latest completed project, my only build for the year sadly, Tamiya’s He-162 in 1/48 scale.
It’s a great kit but not one of Tamiya’s best in my opinion. It comes with the option of interchangeable open and closed engine [...]
Here is my GasPatch Me-163, finished at last. I started this kit over 18 months ago, but life got a bit hectic. I used my Christmas break to get it finished.
The kit is great. It’s very nicely detailed, especially the cockpit, and the [...]
Hello all, here’s my Eduard Fw 190 A-3 in 1/48. It’s from the Royal Class release so it came with some nice resin wheels. It also came with 14 decal options which is obviously not enough so I went with some aftermarket jobbies from [...]
This project was a long time coming as work and family commitments must trump modelling time. Nevertheless, here is my 1/48 Mk V spit from Tamiya, finished at last!
Operation Starkey was a ruse, and part of a larger deception plan carried [...]
G’day all, it’s been an age since I posted here as life has been in the way of modelling recently. Unfortunately I still don’t have a project to share but I thought some of you might be interested in this.
I recently took my son to [...]
This is my Eduard 1/48 He 280 prototype jet fighter.
The Heinkel He 280 was the first aircraft designed solely as a fighter to make a jet powered flight. It also has the dubious distinction of being responsible for the first pilot ejection [...]
