Airfix scale model kits

1/72 Airfix Meteor F8

I’ve made quite a few of the new Airfix kits, mostly the 1/72 models, and this is the best one they’ve put out of those. Outstanding fit, very good detail, the best panel line size in this scale for Airfix, and great decals. I did add [...]

1/48 AirFix Bristol Blenheim Mk.1

Been quite a long time since I have been on the site with a completed model! A lot of "life" has kept me from the bench for almost a year. I picked up this kit on Facebook Marketplace along with an AirFix P-51D for $15. [...]

Airfix Gloster Meteor F.8 1/72

Just finished this newly tooled Airfix Gloster Meteor. Great detail, just the right amount of parts really to get to the pain job within a reasonable amount of time (i am not a patient person). The build is straightforward. Unfortunately [...]

Avro Lancaster B.III Dambuster Airfix 1:72

So in May we had the 80th anniversary of the Dams Raid. I have been preparing for this construction for some time, but I decided to start work around the anniversary of the event. The 1:72 scale Airfix Avro Lancaster model is well known to [...]

Airfix Mitsubishi B-21 Zero, 1/72

Alright ladies and gentlemen, calling this one done. Airfix Mitsubishi Zero B-21, from the Dogfight set. Carrier Soryu, Battle of Midway, June 4th 1942. AK Interactive and Ammo Mig acrylics and a Ammo Mig panel line wash in ocre. As always [...]

A different type of Fortress… PB-1W

Greetings fellow imodellers, Here is the new-tool 1/72nd Airfix B-17G converted to a US Navy PB-1W airborne early warning aircraft. I used the old 299Models conversion which gives you the big radome in short-run injection plastic, as well [...]

Airfix 1/72 P-51B

Airfix first released this in 1978, kit No. 020066-6. Before this, we had two choices on building a P-51B, Monogram and Lindberg. So it was nice to see a new kit of this aircraft. This is another of my old builds, it was done in 1984. I [...]

De Havilland Vampire F.3 (Airfix 1/48)

There's something very attractive about early jets - you can see some remnants of the piston era and the new approaches, so it's always something in between. My favourite is the Supermarine Attacker - a jet fighter with a tail wheel. [...]

Airfix 1/72 Bristol Blenheim IV

The development of the Blenheim began when the Bristol Type 142, a civil airliner that first flew in April 1935, impressed with its performance, with the Air Ministry ordering a modified design as the Type 142M for the RAF as a bomber. [...]

My Vanity Spitfire

The RAF allowed Squadron and Wing Leaders to use their initials as their code. Famous ones are JEJ, DB, and RST. As I always fancied myself as an Sqn. Leader in an Eagle Sqn, Why not have my vanity codes? The problem was the only aircraft [...]
