Revell 1/48 Typhoon commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain
This is Revell's Tiger Meet kit and Caracal's decals for the special version of the Typhoon. The kit is a bit of a pig to put together, the intakes are a particular annoyance. But, plenty of test fitting and planning ahead meant it went [...]

1/48th Boeing B-52H Stratofortress - update
Evening all,
It's been a while since I posted and update on this project. Since last time I've scratch-built the main flap structure. More often than not B-52s are parked flaps-down so I thought I'd do the same with mine. These were made [...]
Two models, one base
This was an idea to space save in my cabinet, the trusty Detolf, but still have some bases to add interest. My previous Spitfire build with base takes up a shelf all by it's lonesome, which makes only four planes per cabinet. It looks [...]

Academy 1/48 F4U-1 Corsair

First completion of the year: Tamiya’s 109 G-6
Salute, gentlemen! And a great new year to all of you!
I just finished Tamiya’s 1/48 109 G-6, and what a great kit it is. I would guess no other manufacturer could pull off such “gimmicks” as the interchangeable exposed engine/closed [...]
