How-to: Getting that worn look to an aircraft’s camouflage using dry pigments
A wee tutorial of getting that worn look to an aircraft’s camouflage by working with dry pigments. This is part of an ongoing video blog by Mr. Gary "Making Models Again" Bottoms.

A Tribute to Steve McQueen
Le Mans is my favorite McQueen movie. I had this old Airfix A-26 and thought it would make a good what if.
Airfix 1/72 Grumman J2F "Duck"
This is the OLD Airfix Duck, (OOB) I tried to keep it as simple a build as I could Before it was finished, I just wanted it over with, and it shows. I guess it was the victim of having too many things going at one time. Did I [...]
1/48 Airfix Spitfires
I took these pics to share with a friend who is a Spitfire and Airfix neophyte. I thought I'd post them for you guys too. The fuselage decals on the City of Edinburgh Mk. 22 are oversized, but didn't know it until a year after it was [...]
Bf 109E-3 in Legion Condor (Spain)
My another one model of an aircraft used by Legion Condor during Spanish Civil War - Bf 109E-3 in 1/72 scale. This model is a "light" conversion from Airfix's 109E-4 - I've replaced canopy (vacuformed). Also I've used some parts [...]

Hot off the press – the new tool 1/72 scale Bristol Blenheim Mk1 by Airfix (£14.99 converts to $25 US). These, thankfully, bear no resemblance to the old tool Airfix Mk IV in terms of engineering, detail and, hopefully, build. The [...]
AirFix 1:72 "Stringbag"
i have no particular affinity for the Swordfish, though i now think she's a pretty little thing in her own humble way. i started this build over a year ago as a rigging challenge. i've said it before, i do like what Airfix is producing [...]
Gloster Javelin FAW 9 in 1/48 by Airfix
Having built the Airfix Canberra PR 9 & the Sea Vixen with a great deal of pleasure I was lucky enough to win this kit at our monthly IPMS raffle. I think the Javelin is Airfix's best yet. Fit of parts was perfect; no filler anywhere. [...]
Airfix Spitfire PR.XIX 1/48
Spitfire PR.XIX with Xradecals & Ultracast add-onns. Decals, tyres and seat. Brake lines added from wire. My first PRU Blue ever and I tried to built it as almost new and well maintained - therefore weatheing kept in minimum. Hope [...]
