Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.

AH-64 D

This is the Apache Longbow as I'm sure you are all well aware, this version is the AH-64 D. This is a more recent model of the famous attack chopper incorporating advanced radar and targeting systems. There are very few obvious differences [...]

Battle of France/Battle of Britain Group Build – Airfix 1/48 Hurricane Mk I

After an emergency canopy repair,(which I will try again later), here's it is. Paints are all Polly Scale acrylics, the decals are from the kit and the weathering is oil washes, Mig pigments, etc. After seeing the great work Seamus is [...]

B.a.t.B Yep, Beauty and the Beast Part 1.

Well here it is, un veiling day. The story so far. The good Lady Biggles (Rose) built the Beauty, a Spitfire MK 1 (Tamiya 1/72). Her third ever build and first solo so to speak. Well Tamiya speaks for itself, shake the box and it goes [...]

1/32nd scale BAC Lightning F6

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, [...]

Group Build. JU-87B Stuka, Italeri 1/48

For my first time in a 'group build' I chose the Italeri 1/48 Ju-87B Stuka. It is also my first German aircraft, which I am generally challenged by since many of them have such complex paint schemes, and I am a 'hair brush & rattle [...]

1/72nd scale Boeing 747

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 [...]

For the Battle of France / Battle of Britain topic. Classic Airframes 1/48

Hi all, for the BoF/BoB. 1/48 CA Boultan Paul Defiant. I loved building this kit. Lots of fun even with the extra workload of a limited run kit. It went together very nicely. Not many pics sorry. But hope you like anyway. Paul.

Kitty Hawk’s Grumman F9F-8T Cougar in 1/48

As soon as I saw the advance notice I put in my order for this magnificent & much neglected model. It seems that most kit manufactures have forgotten about the 1950's & '60's so a Cougar was great news! It arrived (of course) [...]

Fokker E.IV 1/72 ICM

My old job. Fokker pilot ace Oswald Boelcke. Best regards, Vlad.

Hobby Boss 1/48 Ta-152C-11

This is a German mid altitude interceptor that was brought in at the end of the war but to late to be effective. Hobby Boss' kit is a very nice rendition of this big plane. The kit has positional flaps, ailerons, and rudder. This is a very [...]
