Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.

DR.1 Fokker

In the words of Monty Python “And now for something completely different” :)- I was talking with someone about Dave Deal’s Tri Plane, so I searched for and came up with this instead. I thought it looked cute and thought what the [...]

Airco DH. 5, 1:48. Fenix, flown Cpt. Roy Williams, 41 Sqn. RFC

I've got a few models to finish, but until that's done I'm going to keep showing the planes I've built over the last year since I got back into modeling. DH. 5 from Fénix looks very good at first glance. Unfortunately, the very detailed [...]

Beechcraft King Air 350, A32-346, School of Air Warfare, 32 Sqn RAAF, East Sale Vic 2004.

1/72 RVHP, resin kit, started 02-2016 finished 12-2022, probably not the best or worst resin kit but I think the end result is worth the effort !

Arma Hobby 1/72 Bell Airacobra P39Q.

Yet another exquisite kit from Arma Hobbies that was a joy to build OOB. No issues to note other than the ones I created for myself. As with all Arma kits careful placement will repay you in the end. Primed with Mr. Surfacer 1500 [...]
