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!
Here's Airfix's 1/48th Merlin, built out of the box with the exception of an Eduard cockpit set.
This was tricker than I had anticipated, with the tolerance between parts being very fine and many pieces needed a quick sanding in order to [...]
Here is my effort at the new tool Dornier Do17Z from Airfix in 1/72nd scale.
It was a completely trouble-free OOB build, finished with Xtracolour enamel paints.
An absolute gem of a kit.

I've been working on this project on and off for the last year or so, and finally applied the finishing touches this weekend.
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 [...]

I fancied building something a little different, and with the US Navy having undertaken testing with this latest Unmanned Combat Air System, (UCAS) the Freedom Model Kits' recent release of the X-47B in 1/48th scale fitted the bill [...]
This is a recently finished project of mine - Trumpeter's 1/32nd scale BAC Lightning F6 finished as a 5 Squadron aircraft based at RAF Binbrook in the late 1980's.
I added a few extra details to the model such as an Aries cockpit set, [...]
I really enjoy building models of commercial aircraft, and couldn't resist when I stumbled upon this Aircraft in Miniature (ex Transport Wings) vacform of the iconic Boeing 747... in yes... you read correctly... 1/72nd scale.
The kit I [...]

Being very basic, I did a lot of extra [...]
