Airfix D.H. Vampire FB9 1/48
Having bought and soon after trashed the first edition of this kit back in 2021, i was somewhat reluctant to buy the reboxing. The Vampire is such an iconic aircraft and Airfix really did a somewhat uninspired job. There is a solid number [...]

Tempest
Bought this on impulse at my local (only) toy shop a couple of months ago... at one point I thought about giving it away, but I'm glad i didn't. Like the wee Jet Provost, this - IMHO - is a future Airfix classic. It's a gem of a kit, build [...]

P-40B "Pearl Harbor" 1/48th Airfix

Airfix 1/72 Short Stirling
RAF No. 7 Squadron was founded at Farnborough Airfield on 1 May 1914, being the last squadron of the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) to be formed before the First World War. Having been disbanded and reformed several times ever since, it is still [...]
White giants, easy build? Airfix 1/72 Victor & Vulcan
Homogeneously painted models bring a promise of an easy build. Yet, overall white paint cover is a wolf in a sheep skin. Not only that the model requires repeated coating to cover the darker colored plastic, but also extra care to [...]

Well, this was a project for my 36th model of the year. The big 1/24th scale Spitfire by Airfix.
I had high hopes for this kit after hearing rave reviews over and over "this is the best kit ever!" was one thing I heard...a [...]
