Trumpeter 1/144 H6K5 "Mavis"
From the Water Wings Group Build. Nicely fitting kit, well, for the most part, but quite a few inaccuracies, that manages somehow to be both ugly and elegant.
iModeler Aviation
Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Martin PBM 3R Mariner, A70-11, 40 Sqn RAAF Townsville Qld 1943.
1/72 Mach2, I modified the turrets to convert to a transport, sanded and polished the canopy and painted on the frames, strengthened the fuselage join between the wings with a strip of cloth and added the mooring rails to the nose, [...]
Corsair A7D – Commission Build
A major departure from my usual subjects - I tend to stick to 1/32 WWI aviation, but this 1/72nd A7D was built under commission, as a presentation piece for the pilot who flew the original, pictured below. He was an RAF Test Pilot, on an [...]
Tamiya 1/72 scale P-47D
Pilot: Lt. Robert E. Wagner 9th AF 510th FS - 405th FG. St. Dizier France 1944.
I actually do build other aircraft, but P-47s are just so much fun, especially when the kits are this nice !
For this build, I used Alclad Dura aluminum, [...]

It’s Twins!… well, sort of?

1/32nd Spitfire MkIIa - Revell
I fancied a quick and easy project and seeing Spitfires overhead daily during the summer months (I'm under the approach to Biggin Hill) I didn't need much inspiration to dig this one out of the attic 🙂
This model simply fell together [...]
Matchbox 1/72 North American T-2 C/E "Buckeye"
Another "oldie" , built OOB, just because I like the unusual paint scheme. It's been re-popped by Revell, and is still available. It is a very basic kit, more fun to paint than to build.While it wasn't much of a challenge to [...]
Ryan STM, A50-2, 3 Communications Unit RAAF 1942.
1/72 MPM, I replaced and added a few things, exhausts from sprue, pitots and bracing from brass wire, air scoops from alloy foil, finished in Humbrol and MM enamels with Future and Micro flat over kit decals.
