1/72 Messerschmitt Bf 109E-4
I enjoyed my recent build of an Airfix Gustav 109, so when I saw this Emil the other day with Battle of Britain markings I picked it up. Little did I know that unlike the Gustav, AO1008A was an Airfix "new tool" kit. Instead [...]
German Air Force Focke Wulf 190 D-9 Yellow 10
Here I have a model that I built about 15 years ago at the beginning of my modeling career.
It is a kit from Airfix 1:72
Airfix Bristol Beaufort Mk.I 17/2
I have this soft spot for two engined RAF planes. Therefore, after the Airfix Blenheim and Mosquito, i decided to take on the Bristol Beaufort. I decided to do the 217 squadron scheme because i wanted to give the very dark scheme a [...]
Airfix SA-341 Gazelle
The Aerospatiale Gazelle is a French light transport, light attack scout helicopter. It is licensed for manufacture by Westland for the British military. The two companies shared development and production work, introducing the Gazelle in [...]
Airfix 1/72 Bristol Beaufort Mk.1

"This one is SMALL and this one is FAR AWAY!" (Father Ted)
Decided to make a Mini Me of Airfixes Typhoon. Hunted down a second hand Hasegawa 1/48 and painted and decalled it the same as Airfix. Not a bad kit. Bought a couple of Eduard accesories.
Biggest noticable difference, apart from the [...]
Hawker Sea Hurricane, in 1/48, by Airfix.
An enjoyable build (for the most part) and one which I will be happy to do again, as I have the standard Hurricane in my stash. Commendable fit except for the interior cockpit framing interfering with the fuselage/ wing joint. Solved by [...]
Airfix 1/48 Spitfire Vb
RAF No.92 (formerly known as “East India”) is a Test and Evaluation Squadron based at RAF Waddington, Lincolnshire. It was formed as part of the Royal Flying Corps at London Colney as a fighter unit on 1 September 1917 and deployed to [...]
1/72 Messerschmitt Bf109G-6
This little Airfix kit was a Christmas present, and the camouflage intrigued me enough to finish it, even though the kit is not a notable one. But it was well worth it for the lessons it taught me in the mottling effects I can do with an [...]
