VF-74 Round up
Three Phantoms- one old build, two fairly recent, The first is I believe VF-74's first scheme of the 1960's . I used an old Hasegawa F-4J which really is a 'B' because of the thin wings, Airfix decals, crudely dropped the slats and flaps [...]
Revell 1/72nd Dassual Mirage 2000C
This is a nice kit. It was in a icons of aviation box from Revell. Tiger Meet special. It came with an RF Phantom which I have not made yet. The plastic is originally Italeri and it went together well. The decals were fantastic and I hope [...]
Revel 1955 Chevy Pro Mod
I built this one a few years ago. It's based on Revell's 1/25 1955 ProMod Chevy kit. I had finished a 1/72 Hasegawa F/A-18C in the "Digi Bug" scheme of VMFA-314, and thought it would be interesting if the United States Marine [...]
Zhengdefu Missle Boat Type 021
First off, the scale is undetermined by me. It's not the advertised 1/72 but closer to 1/125-1/150th, perhaps 1/144th. It measures around 13" in length.
The instructions leave a lot to be desired as the whole kit is built in 6 [...]
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 [...]
N.A. Mustang IV, Airfix 1/72
Hello everyone.
My first completed models this year. I am happy with the result. Very good fit, but Humbrol acrylic paints are terrible for AB.
I hope you like it 🙂
Cheers.

Hobby Boss 1/72 A5m2
Well, this wasn't a weekend build but, it was close! It took me four days to finish it. This Hobby Boss easy build kit was exactly that: an easy build. The parts count is very small and fit was excellent. I only needed a tiny bit of [...]
Hunter FR.10
Built for 'Micro Modelling Month' over at www.modelersalliance.com - an annual GB/Campaign to build any model in one of the smaller scales.
As I have four of these kits on the shelf, I thought it was time to build another Hawker Hunter, [...]
