Shropshire IPMS Model Club Show at RAF Cosford
Hi All, Just a few photos of the Model Show Held at RAF Cosford,
As you will see there is an eclectic mix of photographs some showing the Aircraft Exhibited and the odd V1 Doodlebug thrown in for good measure, and of course there is the [...]
F6F-5 Hellcat (Eduard ProfiPack 1/72)
Hi there!
This is my F6F-5 Hellcat "Paperdoll"
This kit was built straight from the box, it comes with a comprehensive set of photoetched and it really improves the plane, especially the cockpit.
Finished with Gunze colours. [...]
First Steps. My journey back into model making
I have recently started making model aircraft again for the first time since my childhood.
I thought some people might be interested to read kit reviews and builds from a nearly total newbies point of view, with all the challenges and [...]
1/72nd P2V-5 Neptune Conversion
I wanted to build an earlier version of the P2V Neptune and selected the 20mm cannon armed P2V-5 as my subject. The Hasegawa 1/72nd P2V-7 kit was the starting point and I used the fine Falcon P2V-5 vacuform conversion set for the major [...]

ICM BF-109E-4 in 1/72nd scale
Another oob build. This is said to be more accurate than the Tamiya version but not as easy going as the Tamiya. Still it is not difficult to build, and would recommended it.
Let’s start with some 1/72nd scale armor
I wanted to start contributing with some 1/72nd scale armor I did a couple of years back. The first one is the Dragon LVT-4A1 from WWII and it was a joy to build and paint. Just an out of the box kit build, so I had the joy of a quick [...]
Fujimi 1/72nd TA-4J
Built straight from the box using two sets of kit decals. Green areas are airbrushed and only used the black outlines from the decals. Also, the black outlines are modified from the Fujimi instructions to reflect the few photos of this [...]
U.S. Coast Guard Post War Aircraft
I apologise the quality of the photos; the planes are in a museum and I can't re-photograph them easily. One of my shortcomings as a modeler is my rush to build a model and the failure to take photos as I progress. And when complete, a [...]
