Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.

1/72 ICM Bf-109-E7 Trop

Just finished this early this morning. 1/72 ICM Bf-109-E7 Trop. Painted with MRP and Gunze Mr Color. The kit breakdown is exactly like the Tamiya offering with a bit more flash and no locating pins. Fit was a bit more fiddly. When I pulled [...]

Zvezda 1/72 Yak-130 Mitten – Russian trainer with an attitude

I built this kit as a buddy-build on YouTube and I was surprised about the quality and engineering performed by Zvezda. It's not far behind the top players in 1/72 aircraft (Tamiya, Eduard, Trumpeter et al.). Decals behaved well and the [...]

Westland Wessex HC 5C, XS517, 84 Sqn RAF B Flight Nicosia Cyprus 1987.

1/72 Italeri, finished in Humbrol and MM enamels with Klear and Vallejo matt varnish over kit decals, built for the RAF 100 GB, more pic's and details here: (link)

Fairchild Republic A-10

Merry Xmas! Well it's nearly Xmas anyway so I'll get it out the way... This is my last build for the year, the Hobby Boss 1/48 A-10 Thunderbolt II. Or at least that's what it says on the box, the aeroplane goes by a few different nicknames [...]

Review: Tamiya 1/48 Spitfire Mk1 review

BAC Jet Provost T4, XR707, 2 FTS RAF Syerston Nottinghamshire England 1968.

1/72 Airfix, finished in Humbrol 191 and MM enamels with Future over kit and Xtra decals, flown by The Vipers aerobatic team, completed for the RAF 100 GB, more pic's and details there !

Eduard 1/48 F6F-5 Hellcat

An excellent model for construction, a rare Eduard model that you can say "shake and bake". I even built 1/72 Eduard Hellcat, and in this scale is also a great plastic.

Grumman EA 6B Prowler

This aircraft belonged to the VAQ 133 WIZZARDS 2007 . It's a Kinetic model. Cockpit of Aires in resin. It has been a difficult model to mount due to the large number of failures, bad connections, and a terrible instruction sheet. Attaching [...]

E.E. Lightning F.3

Here's the Airfix Lightning F.3 (1/48th) done with aftermarket decals (Aeromaster, IIRC). This old Airfix kit has its faults, but can be built into a nice model. I like the purposeful look of the Lightning, especially done-up in brilliant [...]

Sonderkommando Elbe ME-109 G

Hi again, this is my build of Otaki's 1/48 scale ME-109 G. I made it to replicate an aircraft of the Sonderkommando Elbe squadron that has already accomplished its mission. This squadron was made up of ME-109s and FW-109s. They were used [...]
