Accurate Miniatures 1/48 TBM Avenger

This Avenger was one of the absolute best model kits I've ever had the pleasure to put together, all thanks to Jay Mitchell. He sent me this model a while back in an effort to clean out his stash, and I took every opportunity to try new [...]

Operation Starkey…1/48 Westland Whirlwind Mk.I, RAF

Built in 2016. Trumpeter kit with decals from the CA kit. Regarding the a/c number, the 8 has to be exchanged with a 9. Added the missing gunsight from the sparesbox and used a plastic rod for the missing headrest support strut. The [...]

Revell 1/72 Avro ShackletonWL747 "Florence" 8 Squadron RAF Lossiemouth 1979

This one was personal. We used to get most of our AEF at Lossiemouth when I was in the Cadets and whilst this was mostly Chippie based, one glorious summer Sunday we got a long flight in this Grey Lady. Still one of the most memorable [...]

Mitsubishi Ka-14 (FineMolds 1/48)

Mitsubishi Ka-14 by FineMolds in 1/48 scale. One of the best model kits I've built recently. Comes together really easy and enjoyable. Highly recommended! With this build I was experimenting again with the weathering and shading, so I [...]

F-16A IAF ‘Netz’ ESCI 1/72 Fighting Falcon

Just completed last night. this ESCI kit #9026 was initiated a long time ago and was put in storage with the fuselage and wings assembled. Pulled out of storage, I worked on the build and paint on and off the last few months. I decide to [...]

Meet the Fokkers…

... Eduard 1/48 Dual Combo kit, totally OOB. Due to too small/vague locating pins, these guys are a bit fiddley, especially having to apply the wing decals first. On the second model I learned that attaching the positively located [...]
