I build all types of aircraft, but with a special interest in WWII and civil aviation.
I really enjoy building vacform models - I love a challenge and want promote a dying art!
Evening all,
I've just put the finishing touches to this today: Mach 2's relatively recent release of the venerable Boeing 727-200 in 1/72nd scale. I used 26decals for the Alitalia scheme and Authentic Airliners' windows and cockpit - [...]
Greetings fellow imodellers,
Here is the new-tool 1/72nd Airfix B-17G converted to a US Navy PB-1W airborne early warning aircraft.
I used the old 299Models conversion which gives you the big radome in short-run injection plastic, as well [...]
This build has been on and off (more off than on to be fair) the bench for the last 7 years! It finally crossed the finish line earlier this week and thank Christ for that!
Fonderie kits have a poor reputation but when I first bought this [...]

Time for an overdue update on my long-term 1/32nd scale Short Sunderland vacform project. Since I last updated you all there's been lots of progress to report, mainly focusing on the smaller, more [...]
Greetings all,
This has been a long-time 'as and when' project that I completed this weekend - Tamiya's 1/32nd F-4J finished as an F-4J(UK) of the famous 74 'Tiger Squadron' in the mid-1980's.
