Nice little kit, with very nice detail. Only complaints are the windscreen and canopy fit. Generally pretty poor. A little filing here and there got them both to settle down OK. I am not happy with the antennae (EZ Line). Admittedly, I [...]
Here is my Airfix 1/72 PR XIX. Like Magnus Fridsell, I am a big fan of the Spitfire and an even bigger fan of the Spit in 1/72. I will post more of them if you would like, but they are all on the Spitfre site. This one was built with [...]
This is one of my more current buillds but still a bit old as I have not been able to buld much in the past few years because of work. This is the the Acadamy P-51B. I think the decals were Superscale. The paint was Model master OD green [...]
The Airfix Bird dog in the scheme of a NZ owned aircraft ZK-NAM.

I got the Paragon PB-1W Conversion, and a Monogram 1/48 B-17G, then the kit and conversion sat, and sat.
I got hold of a great reference book- "B-17 In Blue: The Flying [...]

Here is my PM Models TA-154, a kit that I really enjoyed building, probably as I was prepeared for being a bit of work. It definitley needs lots of test fitting, sand paper, plastic card and the occaisional filler.
I bulked up the [...]
This is my latest build completed a few months ago. This is the 1/72 Hasegawa A6M2b Zero. The model is OOB with the exception of PE seatbelts. I used Gunze Mr Color lacquers to paint it and it was weathered with oils, pencils and pastels.
At the same time as I bought the Mustang I also picked up another one of Airfix´s latest offerings, the Spitfire 22. And since I am a Spitfire fan I of course also happened to have the Xtrakit kit in the stash so off we go for a double [...]
