1/48 Airfix P-51K-5 Janet/Elva May

by David Butler on March 9, 2023 · in Aviation · 31 ≡

Airfix Mustangs are fabulous- perhaps just one small step below Eduard when it comes to surface detail but certainly less fussy to build. I originally intended to build this as "Louisiana Heatwave" but accidently installed the [...]

Nightmares Harrier II

by IAN JACKSON on March 7, 2023 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

No it wasn't an easy build - the work required to get the underside of the LERX's to meet the fuselage was extensive and needed cutting, plastic card, lots of PSR and a fair helping of harsh language. Strangely I found it all to be [...]
