Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Jo-Han 1/72 P-47D Thunderbolt
Kit no. A-102 (Released: 1973 New tool)
This was my second time building this kit and I enjoyed the build when I first built it back in 1973 and enjoyed it more on this build. It is a clean kit with very [...]
I've built a lot of WWII Japanese aircraft but nothing new for a l-o-n-g time. So when a good friend here in NZ (an American ex-pat) announced he was selling off some of his Hasegawa IJN/AF kits, I was first in the queue.

Two builds completed this weekend, the Airfix Defiant which will be featured in Model Airplane International Magazine as part of my Battle of Britain series, and the Airfix Hurricane which is a commission build for a regular customer. Both [...]
This time not an aircraft of the RNLAF, but one which was operated by the Royal Dutch Navy (MLD).
