My 1/48 Airfix Spitfire FR XIX which I won here on imodeler. :)
Thank you Imodeler for this kit. I loved building it, and though some may say this colour scheme is a bit boring, I love it.
Its a shame you can't see all the cameras etc in the fuselage. I could have opened the camera doors, but didn't [...]

Churchill Crocodile 1/72 Airfix 02321

This kit by Airfix can be considered the last product of [...]

Here's my Stuka 3 days late.
The modifications I made to the kit are:
True Details brass set and other parts used to dress up the cockpit.
Kit canopy cut into sections, windscreen and pilot's canopy used as masters to vac-u-form new [...]
