Airfix kits

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 [...]

1/48 Spitfire PR.19

This is the new Airfix kit that I built last month. In my opinion, it's their best Spitfire yet. It surpasses the Mk.22/24 and Seafire 46/47s from the 1990s due to better detailing and nicer moldings. Others on this site have gone into [...]

Airfix Lynx 48th scale

For my first post I am just utting up a work in progress of the 48th scale Airfix Lynx to which I am adding three Eduard photo etch sets...hopefully my enthusiaum will keep the project going !

Airfix Bristol bloodhound 1/ 72

I was inspired to attempt this ancient kit after seeing one on the Airfix tribute forum built by a much better modeller than me,This kit is VERY basic with no interior ,no glazing and only a couple of decals. In order to improve it I added [...]
