Airfix 1/72 Hurricane I "ragwing"early and standard

The Hawker Hurricane was the first monoplane fighter adopted by the Royal Air Force since the Bristol M.1C Scout of World War I, and was also the first fighter in RAF service capable of exceeding 300 m.p.h. The airplane was evolutionary, [...]

Hawker Hunter.

Hi. This is the Revell kit from a few years back, still a nice model with few problems and a fairly quick build. All I have to do now is find somewhere to keep it! (Why do I keep buying 1:32nd scale models?).

Hasegawa 1/48 scale N1K2-J George

Hello all! Here is my Hasegawa Shiden-Kai, built straight from the box. The only add on was the EZ Line antenna wire. Once assembled, I sprayed Testors Metalizer Aluminum from a can as a primer coat, then I used Tamiya IJN Green acrylic [...]

Revell B-17G "A Bit-o-lace" (1/72)

Finally finished third piece of this Revell gift set. I think now i will take a break from airplanes for a few years, and focus on ships, haha. I won't write much about this model because I really debated with myself should I put pictures [...]

1:48 Arii F4U-1A Corsair, Kepford’s “White 29”

Here's my rendition of the Arii (originally produced by Otaki?) 1:48 scale F4U-1A Corsair. Even though it's well over thirty years old, the Arii kit builds into a nice Corsair. The good points are very accurate outline and shapes, finely [...]

1/72 Revell Hurricane Mk.XII

This model started off as the Revell 1/72 scale Hawker Hurricane Mk.IIb, but I added a few things to convert it into a Canada Car and Foundry Hurricane Mk.XII, as used by 135 Squadron RCAF, on the west coast. The engine front and propeller [...]

HK Models B-17G ‘Aluminium Overcast’

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 [...]
