Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Here is my latest completed project, my only build for the year sadly, Tamiya’s He-162 in 1/48 scale.
It’s a great kit but not one of Tamiya’s best in my opinion. It comes with the option of interchangeable open and closed engine [...]
When looking at some of the flying machines, the question immediately arises as to how anyone could believe that something like this would ever take off! In fact, the original of the WWA-14 M1 shown here has flown - and not at all badly, [...]
Kinetic's Prowler is a big and heavy model. The optional folded wings add much to the character of the model, not to mention the saved display space. However, it is a bulky model. Parts are large and lack detail finesse. This is most [...]

All the best,

The Sud-Ouest Aviation (SNCASO) Vautour was an early 50’s mid-sized combat jet, typically employed in the bomber and attack roles, but also having some usage as an interceptor.The type sported a shoulder mounted swept wing and an [...]
