Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.

1/32 Revell F4F-4 Wildcat, Lt Cdr John Thatch, VF-3 USS Yorktown, Midway June 4, 1942

Tonight's article is about a 1/32 scale Wildcat model that I built just before the Ki-43 in my previous post. It's the Revell re-boxing of the old Monogram kit, (which I think in turn was originally a Revell release back in the late 60's [...]

Alconbury F-5E

Tonight is an article about a model that I built about 10 years ago. It's Hasegawa kit number 08053. It was a really nice kit to build. Simple and easy to construct, with enough detail to keep you happy. The only thing I didn't like was [...]

Natty Gnat

Airfix's 1/72 Red Arrows Gnat Stater Set completed earlier this year (2016). Built pretty much out of box, except I discarded the paints that came with the set & opted for Vallejo acrylics, buffed and then layered with generous coats [...]

I completed this one a couple of weeks ago. Built OOB except I added a resin seat and the pitot is from Master Models. The base is from Coastal Kits.

Spitfire XIV
