Airfix 1/72 Supermarine Swift FR 5
In the years immediately following the Second World War, the pace of aircraft development slowed in Britain. In part, this was due to the fact that no immediate enemy was perceived, which is a natural reason for governments to slow the [...]
1/72 British Navy Jets – Sea Hawk, Sea Venom, Sea Vixen
I promised another series of older builds - here they are: the Novo Sea Hawk F.G.A 6, the ModelCraft Sea Vixen FAW.2, and the Premiere Sea Venom FAW 21.
Again, no seam filling or extra detailing. I did add a whip aerial to the Sea Venom, [...]
1/72 Bf 109 G-6, Me 262 A-1A, Fw 190 D-9
For something different, I thought I'd post a collection of German fighters I built quite a few years ago. These were all built before I did anything other than just finishing them out of the box, slapping on some paint, and putting on a [...]
Fiat G.50 1:72 Airfix
Another oldie from the shelf. This is the venerable Airfix Fiat G.50 with some improvement. I made this kit years ago when this was the only g.50 around. I scrachbuild the cockpit area and the wheel wells, intakes etc and rescribed the [...]

Avia B-534 Serie IV. as Hungarian booty - KP 1:72
Hi All! As You see I don't give up building in 1:72 - old habits die hard 😉 - and don't giveup updating ancient things. This B-534 was in my stash for more than 20 years 🙂 . This wasn't a bad kit back then. Now there are sevaral [...]
1/72 Grumman J2F-6 Duck
This is a build I did back in 2012. Although I really don't like doing bi-planes at my scale (mostly all that rigging!), I have always loved the Duck and wanted to build one. This is the old Airfix kit (see box shot), and I built this [...]
FMA I.Ae. 27 Pulqui I. 1:72 AllianceModels
It is just for interesting. I made this kit about nearly 20 years ago when we received a sample from AllianceModels at Model and Maquette Magazine (long defunct sadly). These kits were fairly rare even when they released (and not too high [...]
Airfix 172 Lightnings
Carrying on my Airfix love affair, I eagerly waited the new Lightning when it was released. I have built several of the 1/48 scale ones and they were/are superb models and a delight to build.
I asked Santa for an F-2A when it was first [...]
