This is my review of projects from 2023. The VVA-14 and Camel are sitting back on the shelf as unfinished at the moment due to fit issues and complexity respectively. My favourites for the year are the Eagle and the B-wing for pure [...]
This is my build of one of my favourite spacecraft. It looks like it is meant to be hauling junk around a lunar base all day long, a utilitarian design unlike some sci-fi craft. I did the cargo pod up as a rescue version as it adds [...]
For Revell there's a fair amount of detail here but the fit is a bit iffy to say the least. I saw on here that somebody else had had issues with the fit of the engines and main undercarriage. They were not wrong. Still, with a bit of [...]
I started this year with Revell's 1/48 Typhoon finished in the RAF Battle of Britain 75th anniversary display scheme.
I then moved on to two old 1/32 Revell kits that I picked up for £10 each.
The Corsair has very little internal detail [...]
I managed to finish this just before the end of 2020 so 2021 can start with a new project.
A nice kit that builds well, al is OOB except for the belts which are made from tape and wire (and I think might be a little too big).
I put a lot [...]
This is my build of the Shuttleworth Tiger Moth from Airfix's 1/48 kit. It's a nice kit and well engineered, there's even an included jig for adapting the tail for the two different versions featured in the kit as one has the anti-spin [...]
This is Revell's 1/32 Corsair from around the time I was born, so it's old. I picked it up for £10 during last year's Black Friday sales, due to the minimal investment I felt it was a ripe candidate for experimentation and it's the first [...]
This is Revell's Tiger Meet kit and Caracal's decals for the special version of the Typhoon. The kit is a bit of a pig to put together, the intakes are a particular annoyance. But, plenty of test fitting and planning ahead meant it went [...]
This is my attempt at what is probably 2019's most popular model, Tamiya's 1/48 P-38. It was a fun kit to put together, no fitting issues at all and the included weights and masks make it even easier to assemble and finish. Hope you like [...]
This is my Tamiya 1/48 Viper in the Arctic Splinter scheme. I used pre-cut masks from www.dnmodels.com for the paint job and custom decals from www.twobobs.net. The decals come with walkway lines in black, white and grey to make it easy to [...]
