1/48 Hobbycraft A-4B "Falklands"

Hobbycraft A-4, need I say more? I believe this was the result of a Christmas "grab bag", or something like that. Since it had been opened previously, there was no returning it, and it seemed sort of a challenge. There was [...]

Tamiya 1/48 P-51Ds

Some Tamiya 1/48 P-51Ds, Glenn Eagleston's "Eagle", 353rd FS, 354th "Pioneer Mustang" FG. "Grim Reaper" - 356th FS, 354th FG (I would love to see some warbird owner do this on a flyer) Bud Anderson's "Old [...]

Messerschmitt Me 262 A-1a by Trumpeter in 1/32 scale

This model represents the Me 262 A-1a flown by Major Walter Novotny, based in Achmer, in November 1944. The kit went together quite easily & some light rubbing down after the application of Tippex in various places minimised the effect [...]

1/48 Testors Gates Learjet Model 24 D

This model of the Learjet has been around for many years, and is still available. It shows it's age when compared to the newer Hasegawa Learjet 35/36 (but, don't we all). Still, it builds into a decent looking business/private jet that [...]

Legato 1/72 Curtiss P-40E Warhawk, Tamiya 1/72 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb Trop, Revell 1/72 Hawker Hurricane Mk.IIc.

Just a few desert camo RAF aircraft. All oob builds, the Legato P-40 kit was hard work but turned out ok and has a good shape, the Tamiya kit as usual was a dream and the keenly priced Revell kit fitted together really well, happy enough [...]

1/72 Tamiya Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb, 1/72 Airfix Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Ia.

My collection of Brendan 'Paddy' Finucane's Spitfires so far. Mk.Vb UD W AB972 (Tamiya), Mk.IIa UD W P8038 (Airfix) and Mk.Ia YT W R6818 (also Airfix).

1/72 Hasegawa P-51B/C Mustang

A semi fictitious P-51 out of the Hasegawa Mustang Mk.III 'RAF Combo' kit. Wanted to build Henry Brown's The Hun Hunter' Texas but couldn't find any after market decals so robbed these from an Aeromaster Debden Jugs Pt.III set. Lt Duane W. [...]

1/72 Tamiya P-47D Thunderbolt

Not a completely accurate depiction of Lt. John Godfrey's P-47, changed a couple of little things to suit what I wanted to build, dropped the emblem and made him an ace.(I know he clocked up around 16.33 kills but in Aeromasters Debden [...]

1/24 Trumpeter Hurricane Mk IICSpecial Night Finish

Here are a couple of shots of Trumpeter's 1/24 Hurricane. I bought the kit second-hand at a model show last spring and built it in the summer. It's OOB except for replacement belts. The livery is for a night fighter of 87 Squadron in [...]
