1/48 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I
This is Tamiya's 1/48 scale kit that I purchased at a show several years ago. Had previously done the Revell kit but was never quite satisfied with how it looked, so I thought I would try Tamiya. Really went together quite well only thing [...]

Airfix to release a 1/48 Defiant.

Hello! Last year I won the random drawing for May, and the new tooling BF-109e-4 by Airfix was my prize. I didn't just want to take a prize and have it sit in my stash because that would seem a bit ungrateful, so as soon as I could, I [...]
Airfix Seafire 17 in 1/48 scale
When Airfix announced their new Spitfire XII & Seafire 17 kits I bought two of each. The first pair were out of the box & I was very happy with the results. Looking at the remaining pair I tried a match-up of XII & 17 parts to [...]
