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,
Here's the latest model off my bench - Trumpeter's 1/24th scale Bf-109 G10. Built more or less out of the box, but with the addition of some Eduard seatbelts and some Barracuda wheels. I also opened up the armour plate behind [...]
Greetings all,
My latest completion is Zvezda's 1/144th scale Boeing 777-300ER finished in Emirates colours courtesy of 26-Decals.
This kit is an absolute joy to build, with no filler required. Levels of detail are great and a huge step [...]
I've been working on this on and off for the last few months and have finished it off this week.
I've used the classic Revell 1/48th B-17F kit and coupled it with Koster's vacformed beautiful early Fortress conversion set. This comprises [...]
I've just added the final touches to Airfix's classic 1/24th scale Stuka B-2. I've finished it as a machine from 3/St.G2 based in Northern France, August 1940.
A great kit to build, and despite its age it's crammed full of detail, has some [...]
Evening all,
It's been a while since I posted and update on this project. Since last time I've scratch-built the main flap structure. More often than not B-52s are parked flaps-down so I thought I'd do the same with mine. These were made [...]
Evening all,
I'd been suffering from a serious case of modeller's block and had ground to a halt on all my projects and just couldn't get restarted. I'd actually built this kit on and off a while back, and all it needed was painting and [...]
It's been a while since I updated you on my progress with Sanger's massive 1/48th scale vacuform B-52H project.
Since last time I've worked on the fuselage, scratch-building the main undercarriage bays, as well as adding numerous [...]
Afternoon folks,
Here's Airfix's classic Harrier GR3 from the venerable 1/24th scale kit, warts and all. Built as it comes, but with some home-made additions to the cockpit and seat. The kit decals and Xtracolour paints were used [...]
Just added the finishing touches to Airfix's 1/24th Hawker Typhoon MkIb this week: a project I've had on the bench for the last six months or so. Admittedly I've picked it up and put it down as and when I've felt like it, but regardless [...]
Evening folks,
I've put the finishing touches to Trumpeter's 1/32nd scale Flanker C over the weekend. I embarked upon this build as I have always loved the twin-seat Flanker and thought it would be a straight-forward build to be getting on [...]
