1/72 SAAF Spitfire Vc trop.
This is the newish Airfix kit finished with kit decals for a South African No.2 Squadron four cannon Spitfire based in Italy in 1943. I’ve always wanted one of these in my collection and Airfix provided it out of the box with this [...]
Airfix 1/48 Sea King HU.5
An excellent model by Airfix. The build is complex, but not complicated. There are plenty of details and much scratch work to add. I detailed the crew entry door and more. Instructions however, are missing some of the holes required to be [...]
1/72 Airfix Mosquito
This build is of an initial boxing of the old 1972 Airfix Mosquito that I picked up on a sale table. There’s a far better 2021 new tool Airfix but this is my first Mossie so thought I’d start with an easy one. I decided to finish it [...]
Airfix 1/72 Spitfire Mk.Ia
This is a 1983 build of Airfix's Spitfire Mk.I that was first released in 1978, kit No. 01065-0. I remember this as a very nice kit that falls together quite nicely and it looks pretty accurate.
This is a straight out of the box build, [...]
Airfix 1/72 Ju-87 B-1 Stuka
I started this build well before my knee replacement surgery in mid-July, and just finished it this week! Post surgery I lost my mojo for a while, but am finally back on the bench.
This is the new-tool kit, is well-engineered and was a [...]
1/72 “Doolittle Raider” B-25B Mitchell
Third time's the charm.
I started on a model of a B-25 Mitchell medium bomber - the plane used by the Doolittle Raiders in April 1942 - over 30 years ago, but never finished it. While at King's Hobby in Austin in the summer of 2015, I [...]
1/72 Fairey Battle Mk. 1 - Airfix
The Fairey Battle was the RAF's first monoplane light bomber built in the late 1930s. It was powered by the same Rolls-Royce Merlin engine that other British fighters - and later the U.S. P-51 Mustang - used to great success, but the [...]
Airfix 1:48 B-57 Canberra
Another 1:48 Airfix Canberra. This one a Martin B-57. Challenge for me was (somewhat) matching tail color to tip tank decals. Close, so close... The black gloss finish accomplished by painting with primer and applying many coats of [...]
1:48 Airfix Canberra PR.9
Airfix pr.9 Canberra is a pretty kit. Panel line a bit heavy but overall I like the shape and fit. Used Hataka acrylics which for me went down okay over a black primer. I did thin with a retarder. Build as it came out of the box, piece [...]
