Advancement on the Alpha Jet

So I'm a few weeks underway building the Alpha Jet (see previous post) and it has been... well a bit challenging. The kit is clearly old and that shows in two domains. First and foremost, the fit is not very good. A lot of parts and joints [...]

Revell 1/48 Bristol Beaufighter TF. X

A build I've wanted to get round to for a while. The Beaufighter Squadrons were based at RAF Dallachy fairly close to the River Spey. I decided early on that I wouldn't be doing a Black Friday Beau so this is my attempt at RD3549 of 489 [...]

1/48 Sherman IC Firefly.

This is the Tamiya kit that’s been available for some time. This is the first 1/48 tank that I’ve built since the 1970s. In those days, Bandai made an excellent line of 1/48 armor. Unfortunately, they were also pricey. That put [...]

Received this amazing kit as a Christmas present from my good friend Spiros @fiveten. Together we started a groupbuild of a P51 and A36 which ended up in a group with lots of enthusiastic members taking part as well. A lot of techniques [...]

Polish Spitfire- Mk. IXc

Hi everyone Been a long time since I actually finished a kit, though I have plenty on the bench at the moment. Bought this kit a few years back in second hand, box a bit bruised but contentes were as new and sealed. Added some brassin [...]

Grumman F-4F4 Wildcat (Tamiya 1/48)

Another 20+ year resident of the stash. Built straight from the box with the exception of the EZ-Line antenna. Finished with Mr. Color paints, Tamiya panel line wash, and AK weathering pencils. The kit decals added some drama but [...]

Hi all, This is another kit I built last year. There are several things that could have been done better, but still I think it’s a lovely little plane. The kit is a Special Hobby 48181 and built OOB. Hope you like it. A bit of [...]
