1/48 Monogram Convair B-58A Hustler
This is another favourite of mine, the B-58 Hustler. The Monogram kit is getting on a bit but still not a bad build and intersting in this scale. Pretty straight forward build, raised panel lines are a bit of a pain but you get over it and [...]
The Last Flight Of The North American Aviation X-15
I ran out of time to enter a club contest for anything that flew in space, so this was a one week build to have something to enter.
This model represents the X-15A-2 that was rebuilt from the second X-15 that was nearly destroyed on [...]
Hobby Boss Bv-141B-O
The asymmetric Bv-141 is perhaps the strangest airplane to fly during the Second World War and one of the strangest ever to fly anywhere. Despite its counterintuitive looks, it was an excellent aircraft which was rejected by the service [...]
Philippines Air Force Northrop F-5A Freedom Fighter
I have always loved the lines of the Northrop F-5A. Sleek and elegant with that great area-ruled fuselage, it is a real classic. This model is the one that was built concurrent with my Iraqi MiG-21MF. The kit is the ancient Testors [...]
Iraqi MiG-21MF “Fishbed”
Inspired by the outbreak of Desert Storm, or Gulf War One, I built this MiG-21MF in Iraqi markings and camouflage. So, it's been languishing in the display cabinet since way back then, with no airport pictures taken. Even though it's more [...]
Eduard Messerschmitt Bf 108B Taifun
The Eduard 1/48 Messerschmitt Bf 108, completed back in late 2013 & continuing my theme of Polish operated aircraft. The kit is finished to represent the markings of the "Central Staff of the Aviation League" operated by the [...]
1/48 Hasegawa Grumman Hellcat Mk II
This is 1/48 Grumman Hellcat finished several years ago with the markings of FAA 808th squadron from HMS “Khedive” during May 1945.
Inaccurate cowling replaced with Obscureco F6F3 / 5 corrected cowling.
Cockpit modified by Eduard [...]
Northrop-Grumman X-47B
I fancied building something a little different, and with the US Navy having undertaken testing with this latest Unmanned Combat Air System, (UCAS) the Freedom Model Kits' recent release of the X-47B in 1/48th scale fitted the bill [...]
Hasegawa 1/48 F6F-5
I enjoyed this build and glad it's finally done. I used a Quickboost engine (wired and pushrods added), the Obscureco cowl, CMK flaps, Eduard etch and a True Details resin seat in the cockpit. Paint is MM Glossy Sea Blue with a Polly [...]
