Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
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 [...]
I enjoyed this build and glad it's finally done. I used a Quickboost engine (wired and pushrods added), the Obscureco cowl, CMK flaps, Eduard etch and a True Details resin seat in the cockpit. Paint is MM Glossy Sea Blue with a Polly [...]
They come in a variety of types: Fighter, Bomber, Interceptor and now Mojo Buster!
Note: I haven't painted the laser canon tips as I'm going to attach some green florescent rod and put the ship in a dio with the X-Wing. In case you [...]
Hello all! from my "Good from Afar but Far from Good" collection, I present to you my AH-1W Cobra. It is the Italeri kit with the following upgrades:
Cobra Company cockpit
Cobra Company exhaust correction kit

My Monogram/Revell B-26 Marauder in 1/48 scale was presented at the recent Scale Model World 2014 in Telford with some success. Here are some more pics and the commentary to go with them.
B-26 was the plane that went from the nickname [...]
This is the 1/72 Tamiya Bf-109E-4. As many already know the fit of this kit is excellent. The markings are from Techmod. This was painted with Mr. Color lacquer and weathered with oils, pastels and silver pencil. Master barrels were added [...]
VC-10's are in most aviation enthusiasts top 10 airliners I'm sure, and it is certainly in my top 3 if I could decide between every other classic airliner.
I decided to spend the money on this resin kit after reading all the mixed reviews. [...]
This is a heavily modified C-130 from Italeri in 1/72 using parts left over from a E-2 Hawkeye that was coverted to a C-2 Greyhound. Seemed a waste to have the radome spare and not use it on a Herc.
The pylon for the radome is scratch [...]
An oldie from the 'loft insulation'. I built this a while ago but it still looks good. Not a bad kit and would argue better than the Hasegawa kit for the price. Certianly less complicated. When you don't spend big bucks on a kit it's much [...]
Well after seeing Steve Cook's awesome F-35 i had to get mine back out and get her finished. Cockpit interior is ready for some color .
