Testors B-25 1/72

The B-25 is my favorite WWII aircraft - just love the lines - everything about it. This is an old Testors kit. Went together pretty well, although had to shim up one side of the horizontal stabilizer to get it level. Added a seat for the [...]

Hurricane Mk2c

This kit is in 1/72 from Revell, and was my secret santa present from work! It isn't the sort of subject I would normally model as my collection is fairly modern, so I decided to do it slightly different. The right side is the desert camo [...]

1/48 Hasegawa Spitfire MkIXc French markings. Germany April 1945

Hope you like. I love something a little different in a Spitfire. Love the yellow tail in particular. I used 1/48 Montex masks for the markings, and used spare decals for thé roundels. Painted the tail and all yellow areas with tamiya [...]

Special Hobby 1/32 Morane-Saulnier 406 C1

Did this kit ages ago but didn't post it. Full build is on my YouTube channel ModArt633. However, there is problems with sort run kits that Special Hobby produce. I faced problems with fitting the prop, cockpit and air-intake. And also [...]

SMER IL-2 1/72

This was one I finished in 2012. Not a bad kit, but the decals shredded so went to spares box. Also scratch built the oil cooler (at least I supposed that's what the cylindrical thing on the starboard wing is) and the tail counter weight, [...]
