Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
I promised another series of older builds - here they are: the Novo Sea Hawk F.G.A 6, the ModelCraft Sea Vixen FAW.2, and the Premiere Sea Venom FAW 21.
Again, no seam filling or extra detailing. I did add a whip aerial to the Sea Venom, [...]
For something different, I thought I'd post a collection of German fighters I built quite a few years ago. These were all built before I did anything other than just finishing them out of the box, slapping on some paint, and putting on a [...]
Another very black cockpit from the ANAM museum at Moorabbin airport outside Melbourne, Australia. This time the much more cramped office of a side by side seated Sea Venom. It is very clear this early jet is made of wood, as can be seen [...]

Another oldie from the shelf. This is the venerable Airfix Fiat G.50 with some improvement. I made this kit years ago when this was the only g.50 around. I scrachbuild the cockpit area and the wheel wells, intakes etc and rescribed the [...]
