Unfortunately life has taken away a lot of the time I have for modelling but I'm still here trying to slowly chip away at projects. In the week I learn how to fix the real things and then at the weekends I try put the plastic versions together. Hoping to get a collection of Corsairs done, representing one from each nation that used it as well as each version available to build.

Eduard Tempest Mk.V Dual Combo, 1/48.

Recently I've decided to improve my photography and buy a lightbox, today it arrived! So as I showcase my previous builds this is the first one with some shiny now photos. Eduard's Tempest Mk.V... An interesting kit to say the least, this [...]

Tamiya Corsair Mk.II, 1/48. The Fleet Air Arm.

Greetings folks, After getting more into the hobby and posting on a few other places, I've decided to make an account here and post my most recent builds. Critique is always important, and keeping confined to one forum or social media can [...]
