Academy 1/72 P-40
By way of introduction to the group, thought I'd load up s few pics of a recent build. I only build 1/72 scale and always mounted in-flight, and I only brush paint (occasional rattle can).
I enjoyed the Academy kit. Although it comes [...]
Blast from the past
Recently my 9 year old daughter, Micaela, expressed an interest in building a model aircraft. I managed to get hold of the exact same model kit that I built back in 1982 as my first model when I was 10, a Matchbox 1/72 Bristol Beaufighter. [...]
Review: Airfix’s Brand-New 1/72 Dornier Do17Z

Although small it has plenty of nice detail
Hasegawa 1/72 F11F-1 Tiger (short nose)
Here's my Hasegawa 1/72 F11F-1 Tiger with the short nose. The nose is a resin replacement in the kit. All you have to do is cut off the longer nose from the fuselage parts and plug the resin replacement in. Mine fit with just a bit of [...]
Supermarine S.31 (PR.XIX – Type 390) - 1:72

Matchbox (now Revell) 1/72 Twin Otter
I built this one several years ago, and was very pleased when it was re-released. It's a nice, little kit, with plenty of options. Long nose (shown), short nose, wheels, ski's, and floats. Being Matchbox (or ex-Matchbox/Revell), most of [...]
