Icelandic P-40C in 1/72
I started the Airfix 1/72 Hawk 81A-2 about the time it hit the U.S. shores (December 2012!), planning to build an RCAF Tomahawk. I had it all together by mid-month... and then it sat... and sat. AMS got the better of me and I couldn't [...]
Airfix 1/72 F4F-4 Wildcat
VF-9 was formed in the summer of 1942 to become the fighter squadron of the air group that would be assigned to the USS Essex (CV-9) then nearing construction completion. In September 1942, VF-9 was ordered aboard USS Ranger (CV-4) as a [...]
1/72 Hawker Sea Fury FB Mk.11
I hadn't posted in a while, so thought I would post up the first "double build" I did - from a few years ago. These were about 5-6 years ago - before I started weathering and post shading, etc. Only real detailing was the exhaust [...]
Airfix 1/72nd scale Dornier Do17Z
Here is my effort at the new tool Dornier Do17Z from Airfix in 1/72nd scale.
It was a completely trouble-free OOB build, finished with Xtracolour enamel paints.
An absolute gem of a kit.

Monogram 1/72 Hu-16 Albatross

Airfix 1/72 Hurricane I "ragwing" – early and standard
The Hawker Hurricane was the first monoplane fighter adopted by the Royal Air Force since the Bristol M.1C Scout of World War I, and was also the first fighter in RAF service capable of exceeding 300 m.p.h. The airplane was evolutionary, [...]
Revell B-17G "A Bit-o-lace" (1/72)
Finally finished third piece of this Revell gift set. I think now i will take a break from airplanes for a few years, and focus on ships, haha. I won't write much about this model because I really debated with myself should I put pictures [...]
1/72 Revell Hurricane Mk.XII
This model started off as the Revell 1/72 scale Hawker Hurricane Mk.IIb, but I added a few things to convert it into a Canada Car and Foundry Hurricane Mk.XII, as used by 135 Squadron RCAF, on the west coast.
The engine front and propeller [...]
