Airfix Seafire 17 in 1/48 scale
When Airfix announced their new Spitfire XII & Seafire 17 kits I bought two of each. The first pair were out of the box & I was very happy with the results. Looking at the remaining pair I tried a match-up of XII & 17 parts to [...]
The Ritzmann Skyraider
In Spring 2011, I built and entered a Tamiya 1:48 A-1 Skyraider for the Vietnam War Group-Build at www.britmodeller.com . I was lucky enough to be voted ‘third overall’ in the resultant poll, and thought no more about it until a couple [...]
Bell OH-58A Kiowa – Esci 1/48
Following Hughes OH-6A presented here on April, a new Vietnam aeroscout is coming from my bench.
This mid ‘80s 1/48 scale model by Esci is pretty good although its age.
I got a lot of work inside the cockpit, none the less outside, with [...]

Special Hobby 1/48 Grumman AF-2S and AF-2W Guardians
The Grumman AF-2 Guardian series were the largest single engine piston-engine aircraft to ever operate from carriers, which is pretty surprising since they flew from CVEs for the most part. The Guardian was the first purpose-built anti- [...]
Eduard 1/48 Messerschmitt BF109E-3
You might remember this from a while back that I won from this website.
Well the wait is over and it is fully build and finished. Want to say that (in my opinion) that this is one of the best Bf109's I've built to this day. With a choice [...]

Hawker Hurricane Mk.I in 1/48 from Italeri.
This model represents a Hurricane Mk.I in October 1940. Along with the Sea Hurricane this kit is a new release from Italeri. I found it a fairly straight forward build although the fit of the leading edge of the wing roots required a bit [...]
