Hasegawa’s Hurricane IIc in 1/48 scale by Tony Prince.
A very nice model kit; the second one I've built of Hasegawa's. Straight out of the box except for the canopy. The RAF in the CBI theatre seems to be largely forgotten & had to soldier on with outdated equipment long after more modern [...]
Review: The (not so) “Great 109Gate” Brew-Ha-Ha
As with most Brew-Ha-ha's (that's an alcohol-fueled argument anyone outside of it will laugh at) at Hyperscale, the Great 109Gate Whine is mostly "overscale" in the amount of hot air expended by people who don't know what they're [...]
UFO's--Serious Business!

DH Vampire Mk9 – Build Completed
After my ever first post, with the positive comments I received, I was encouraged to crack on with the Vampire as and when spare time allowed. I always like to learn lessons, new techniques and improve on every build, and with this one I [...]
1/48th RF-101C Conversion
This RF-101C Voodoo was originally built several years ago. It got damaged a while back when I dropped another model on it while re-arranging my model shelves. The horizontal tails, one of the dive brake doors and one of the flaps were [...]
My first Trumpeter kit, good, bad and ugly?
Started building the 1/48 Trumpeter HU-16A kit, having never built a Trumpy kit before, but reading lots of mostly bad reviews, I dove in. First off, the reviews of this kit bashing it, are well over stated. Yes it has problems, the hull [...]
