Airfix scale model kits

Airfix 1/24 Junkers Ju-87B Stuka

Among the 1/24th scale old series by Airfix, the Stuka is probably the best. It has raised and recessed surface texture and the detailing is adequate. This model was painted several times until I settled with the reticulated desert scheme. [...]

Airfix 1/24 Hurricane Mk.1

Airfix' Hurricane is among the better kits of their 1/24th series. The mold is not very crude and plenty of details were added to the engine and wheel bay. I built this kit some 40 years ago. Since then, the model was repainted including [...]

Hand Painting 1/24th Scale: Airfix Messerschmitt 109E-4

The model depicts an aircraft flown by Oberleutnant Helmut Wick, 1/Jagdgeschwader 2 "Richthofen" in France and Belgium, October 1940. By that time, the light blue camouflage on the sides of the fuselage was pained over in the [...]

Airfix Consolidated Liberator 24H 1/72

This was a kit i was looking forward to building as soon as it was announced. It boasts great detail and the fit is great overall. As for the build, i wanted to emphasize preshading a lot this time and i worked with oil colors extensively. [...]

1/72 USAAF Spitfire Vc trop.

This is the second Airfix Spitfire Vc that I built for Roy Sutherland’s Barracuda Studios FB New Years group build. This one also used a scheme provided in the kit for a 307th FS plane in Algeria in 1942. I used Barracuda wheels, prop [...]

1/72 SAAF Spitfire Vc trop.

This is the newish Airfix kit finished with kit decals for a South African No.2 Squadron four cannon Spitfire based in Italy in 1943. I’ve always wanted one of these in my collection and Airfix provided it out of the box with this [...]

Airfix 1/48 Sea King HU.5

An excellent model by Airfix. The build is complex, but not complicated. There are plenty of details and much scratch work to add. I detailed the crew entry door and more. Instructions however, are missing some of the holes required to be [...]

1/72 Airfix Mosquito

This build is of an initial boxing of the old 1972 Airfix Mosquito that I picked up on a sale table. There’s a far better 2021 new tool Airfix but this is my first Mossie so thought I’d start with an easy one. I decided to finish it [...]

Airfix 1/72 Spitfire Mk.Ia

This is a 1983 build of Airfix's Spitfire Mk.I that was first released in 1978, kit No. 01065-0. I remember this as a very nice kit that falls together quite nicely and it looks pretty accurate. This is a straight out of the box build, [...]

Airfix 1/72 Ju-87 B-1 Stuka

I started this build well before my knee replacement surgery in mid-July, and just finished it this week! Post surgery I lost my mojo for a while, but am finally back on the bench. This is the new-tool kit, is well-engineered and was a [...]
