Airfix kits

Airfix 1:48 Hawker Hunter F.6

Not a long story to tell for this one. The Airfix 1:48 Hunters are pretty nice kits; they've got some clever engineering, especially in the intake area, although it's not done with the finesse one would find in a recent Tamiya kit. I added [...]

Airfix Fairey Gannet AS4 1/48.

Hi folks, long time no posts and I apologise about that, life has changed for me. My marriage broke down and I am now living with my dear old mum down in Devon. I now have a man cave to build in and astash to play with. Anyhow, I saw this [...]

Focke-Wulf FW190A8, Airfix (A01020A) 1/72

This kit was sent to me by Bernard @lis, it was a great and wonderful surprise. Besides the kit, other surprises were the included masking sheet for the upper surface camouflage scheme and a decal sheet with lots of various marking [...]

Heinkel He 177 "Greif": Now and then

The revolutionary German heavy bomber that had two engines driving one propeller shaft received the attention of model makers over the years. In 1967, Airfix came out with an impressive 1/72nd scale that was highly detailed by comparison [...]

1/72 TBD-1 Devastators

I have been collecting 1/72 Devastators in my stash for the past couple of years with an aim towards upgrading my current George Gay TBD-1 at Midway, and this double build represents an effort to clear the backlog of kits and decals before [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 P-51D Mustang

In one of my earlier posts I'd mentioned I had build several Accurate Miniatures, Eduard, Airfix, Monogram/Revell, and Tamiya P-51's but not a Hasegawa kit. That is until now and it is a decent kit IMHO. The cockpit is adequate but not [...]

Airfix 1/48 Blenhiem

Just finished taking the photos for my latest build, this one is for Model Airplane International. Its the Airfix 1/48 Blenheim built as one of 25 Squadrons AI (radar) equipped fighters from the summer of 1940. It will be in the magazine [...]

Airfix 1/48 Fairey Gannet AS.4815 NAS Ark Royal 1958.

What a kit. It all just fits together. The wings are still just a dry fit. I need to give a massive shout out to Airfix and their customer service as they replaced my clear sprue after i'd cracked two of the canopies whilst polishing. I [...]

Airfix 1/48th Westland Sea King HAS.2A

This is my recently completed Airfix 1/48th Westland Sea King. This kit is a vast improvement on the old Hasegawa kit and in particular is the inclusion of a fully detailed and equipped interior. I have completed a couple of the Hasegawa [...]

Airfix 1/72 RNLI Severn Class Lifeboat

Finally calling this complete - built on the 8th February 2024. Started it in 2022 and it sat on my shelf of shame for approx 1 year. My Airfix 1/72 Severn Class Lifeboat. This has been one of the worst models I have ever built. It fights [...]
