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!
I've just finished building this as a mojo-mender as with a few long term projects on the go, I'd become bogged down and in need of something that went together without problems - this 1/32nd scale twin-stick MiG-29UB proved to be just the [...]
This is my first completed build for 2016 - the 1/32nd scale Heinkel He 111 P-1 from Revell.
I started this back in the summer of 2015 as a 'pick it up and do a bit as you fancy it' build, and I've been working on it on and off for the [...]
Here's my final model completion for 2015 - the new tool Airfix 1/72nd scale Shackleton finished as an AEW2.
I've completed it as Avro Shackleton AEW2, WL747 'Florence', of 8 Squadron, based at RAF Lossiemouth.

An absolute gem of a kit.

The HK Models kit needs no introduction and was for the second time, a joy to build. Having seen a few of these [...]
I started this back in November of 2014, and after 8 months of blood, sweat and tears, I've got my big C-17 finished.
There are two kits currently available in 1/72nd of the C-17: one being the Anigrand Craftworks resin kit, and the other [...]
This is the Revell A340-300 kit converted to a A340-600 using the Braz conversion. I'd heard horror stories about serious fit issues, but this is the second one I have completed (with a third in the stash) and encountered very few problems [...]
This is the Minicraft Boeing 777-200 which I have converted to the -300ER using Braz and Contrails' parts. Currently there is no injection-moulded kit available of this aircraft, with the only option being the Welsh Models Vacform. I [...]
