1/48 Airfix Sepecat Jaguar GR.1 No.54 Squadron RAF Lossiemouth 1974
A bit of background on this one.
I got very excited when Airfix announced this one as I have very fond memories of these flying about the Dingwall area when I was growing up.

Standing on the 10th Tee [...]
1/48 Hawker Hunter
This is the first Hawker Hunter I’ve built. It’s been in my stash of kits since 2020. A few weeks ago I decided it was time to build it.
Airfix did a great job engineering and producing this kit. It’s not an inexpensive kit, but it [...]
TSR2 Airfix 1/48th Scale
This the Airfix /48th scale TSR2. It is a really nice kit, and my only quibble, and it's a minor one, is that the panels lines were slightly heavy for the scale. I languished over the paint scheme, but ultimately went with a real scheme [...]

This is [...]

Recently completed De Havilland Vampire trainer in the colors of the South African Air Force.
The 1/72 Airfix De Havilland Vampire T.11 kit used was as a base with decals from Xtradecal and ResKit resin wheels.
Straight forward build with [...]
Third Time's a Charm, Głowacki Spitfire Vc in 1/72, Airfix A55001
I gotta admit that building Spitfires can be addictive as this is my third Spitfire in 1/72 this year. I really like the way this Vc Spit looks with the Rotol Prop (only kit option).
Don't confuse this kit with the splendid Airfix kit [...]
RAF Vickers Wellington Mk IA 1939, Airfix 1/72
Today’s post features the Vickers Wellington. This Airfix kit, based on their latest tooling, beautifully captures the iconic presence of this historic aircraft. Many of you may have already built it, given its popularity.
With limited [...]
He111J - Aufklärungsstaffel, 7. Flieger Division; Airfix & Roden kits, 1/72 scale
A further use of the Roden early variants of the He111, this time their He111B kit amalgamated with the most recent iteration of this design, the Airfix He111H. I wanted to use the Airfix kit as it has the option to position the control [...]
