Supermarine Spitfire Vb (Trop) in 1/48 scale by Airfix.

1/48 Harrier GR.3 (from Monogram and Airfix kits)
The recent beautiful 1/24 Harrier builds made me dig back and think I should post my own Harrier build of a few years ago. I built this for a friend's father who flew them with the RAF (among his many other duties). I wrote this up for [...]

After an emergency canopy repair,(which I will try again later), here's it is. Paints are all Polly Scale acrylics, the decals are from the kit and the weathering is oil washes, Mig pigments, etc.
After seeing the great work Seamus is [...]
1/48 Sea Vixen FAW.2
This is my just completed Airfix Sea Vixen. I started it about a year ago, but put it aside because I didn't like the weak pylon attachments that Airfix provides. I really didn't want to screw this one up. Some CA and accelerator [...]
