Airfix 1/72 Hurricane stirs a rivalry

Note that this article is the next episode of a friendly rivalry between myself and my good friend Scott Nelson (see Painting a Spitfire on March 8) centered around new Airfix 1/72 kits. These are great models that stand up to kits twice [...]

1/72 Trumpeter JH-7A Flying Leopard

This was an OOB build - only modifications were to add pilots and drill out the tail end of the missiles. I was disappointed in the paint work - used Vallejo Light Ghost Grey but took 3 coats to cover, and this time I ended up with brush [...]
