1/72 Airfix Grumman Duck
This one is modeled after Kermit Week's Duck, at "Fantasy of Flight", a little south of Orlando, Florida. Oddly enough, the decals were from an old Esci sheet, including the noseart. For a bi-plane (and an Airfix), it was a [...]
RAF “V’ Bombers. Valiant, Vickers, and Vulcan
I was commissioned to build the three "V" bombers by a gentleman that grew up in Lincolnshire, England. He remembered the "V" bombers when he was younger. He asked that I do all three models in the same scale and in the [...]
1/72 Airfix Fiat G50
This was another "club build". We were all building an inexpensive Airfix Fiat G50, any way we chose. I remembered this scheme, and thought I'd give it a try. My national markings are wrong, but they were what I had, and [...]
Supermarine Seafire XV in 1/48
Let me start by saying I’m not the world’s greatest modeller. Nor am I the fastest. I am however a Spitfire/Seafire-holic and what you’re now looking at is a seven month labour of love.
But let’s start at the beginning…

1/72 Airfix Short Sunderland
This was another old kit that I decided to "experiment" on. Since I already had a 2nd kit to build "stock", I thought I'd back date this to an earlier Mark. This required moving the top turret and changing the hull. [...]
1/72 Airfix Short Skyvan
For this one, I chose the scheme from the "Pink Aviation" skydiving aircraft. Unusal aircraft, and paint job !
Airfix 1/72 Hawker Typhoon 1B
Built OOB, finished in Testors and Tamiya acrylics.
I had planned on mounting bombs instead of rockets, for something a little different. However, I really didn't like the way the bombs ended up looking. I also left off the boarding step, [...]
Airfix Sabre Mk.4 in 1/72 scale
This is the first 1/72 scale model I've made since around 1990! I think Airfix are to be congratulated on producing such a fine kit. Our local IPMS club decided to do a 'Group Build' & we chose this scale & kit so as to keep the [...]

Airfix Kit No. A02041
72 gray parts

Airfix kits seem to be getting a little better, and better, with each new release. Having said that, I’ve thought that [...]

This article has been sumbitted by Gregor de Ste Croix - Ed.
Here is perhaphs your first look at the new Airfix Gladiator which hit the shops last week. Hopefully as you will see this is without doubt the most affordable (£7.99) modern [...]
