Airfix to release a 1/48 Defiant.
Above is my Classic Airframes B P Defiant built last year. Just heard about Airfixs new Defiant in 1/48 to be released in early 2016.
I love my CA kit, but can't help but wish I used the time building something else. I'm dying to see the [...]
Review: Airfix 1/48 Spitfire I
The Supermarine Spitfire is the most famous and recognizable British airplane ever built and as close to immortal as any airplane will ever get. The Spitfire I first appeared in RAF squadron service in the summer of 1938. Harder to [...]
Airfix 1/72 Cessna O-1 Bird Dog
I remember building this kit as a teenager back in the 70s, but a few years ago I had another crack at it. It's actually quite a nice little model, spoilt only by the poor clear parts and some unfortunately placed ejection-pin marks.

Review: Airfix 1/72 Dornier Do-17Z
The Dornier Do-17 series was referred to as the Fliegender Bleistift ("flying pencil"), due to its narrow fuselage. The original story about the origins of the Do-17 was that it was designed as a fast mail plane with limited [...]
B707 Tanker – RAAF 33 SQN
This is an Airfix E-3 kit built as a B707. I used the JT3 engines from the kit and left off the AEW specific parts. Decals and tanker conversion parts are from Hawkeye Models Australia.
Hercules C.1 XV292
Finished this not long ago after it languished on the shelf of doom for 18 months. As it had been masked up for so long it was difficult to remove the cockpit masking. Patched up the cracked paint as best I could.
The kit is the original [...]
