Scale Modelworld – New releases by Airfix
Airfix surprised today with an incredible array of new and projected kits at their Telford stand. There's really too much to describe here, so we'd rather let the pictures speak for themselves. Looking forward to everyone's comments... [...]
Icelandic P-40C in 1/72
I started the Airfix 1/72 Hawk 81A-2 about the time it hit the U.S. shores (December 2012!), planning to build an RCAF Tomahawk. I had it all together by mid-month... and then it sat... and sat. AMS got the better of me and I couldn't [...]
Airfix 1/72 F4F-4 Wildcat
VF-9 was formed in the summer of 1942 to become the fighter squadron of the air group that would be assigned to the USS Essex (CV-9) then nearing construction completion. In September 1942, VF-9 was ordered aboard USS Ranger (CV-4) as a [...]
AgustaWestland Merlin – Airfix 1/48th
Here's Airfix's 1/48th Merlin, built out of the box with the exception of an Eduard cockpit set.
This was tricker than I had anticipated, with the tolerance between parts being very fine and many pieces needed a quick sanding in order to [...]
Airfix 1/72nd scale Dornier Do17Z
Here is my effort at the new tool Dornier Do17Z from Airfix in 1/72nd scale.
It was a completely trouble-free OOB build, finished with Xtracolour enamel paints.
An absolute gem of a kit.

Airfix Hawker Fury 1/48 SAAF East Africa
Been a while since I shared. I recently built the 1/48 scale hawker Fury representing a 1 Sqd SAAF aircraft operating in the Abyssian campaign during WWII.
Built OOB I only added the stays and aerial with stretched sprue. Quite a nice kit [...]
Airfix 1/72 Hurricane I "ragwing" – early and standard
The Hawker Hurricane was the first monoplane fighter adopted by the Royal Air Force since the Bristol M.1C Scout of World War I, and was also the first fighter in RAF service capable of exceeding 300 m.p.h. The airplane was evolutionary, [...]
Spitfire F Mk.22
The last of Spitfires – Mk.22, 1/72 Airfix kit. This is completely OOB build – I've only added position lights, seat belts and drilled exhausts. Decal sheet has a lot of stencils. By the way – not one of the best Airfix kit that I've [...]
Spitfire F.24 – A 'What If' build
Like most folks (especially aviation modellers) in the hobby, I've built a number of 'What If' projects over the years.
When I do them, I tend to do them as 'relatively possible', I'm not one for building rocket-powered Sopwith Camels' in [...]
Battle of Britain BF 109E
1/48 Airfix kit which was built OOB with aftermarket decals. The aircraft depicted is from JG 26 based at Caifiers France August 1940. Flown by Staffelkapitain Gerhard Schophel, who claimed a number of victories during BoB including 4 in [...]
