Avia S-199 Hobbycraft 1/48
Well it's certainly been a while since I got one posted. I got this kit as a swap with one of my iModeler friends , I swapped it for an Airfix Seafire and I think I got the best out of the deal because this is a great little kit , it came [...]
Operation Bowery
After the failure of Operation Calendar on April 14-19, 1942, the matter of refilling fighter planes in Malta became a priority. The operation began on April 29, 1942 and was better prepared this time to avoid immediate destruction of the [...]
1/48 Dehavilland Vampire F.3
This is the brand new Airfix kit. It’s well engineered and fits great. I did trim the bottoms of the cockpit consoles to get a better fit between the upper and lower fuselage parts. One other thing to be aware of is that Airfix [...]
1/72 Westland Whirlwind – Airfix 02064-0

Classic Kit: Airfix 1/72 Vought F4U Corsair No. 115 1964
This is an older build but I did document the building process. I had spare parts from Hasegawa and True Details that I used to add detail. I used a Squadron vac-form canopy as well. As can be seen the clear parts are dismal as is the [...]
Junkers JU-87B-2 S1+GK Stuka 1/48 Airfix
Hey all. I just wrapped up this build on the JU-87 Stuka flown in Derna, Libya (North Africa) during the summer of 1941.
This Airfix kit came together beautifully, with only a few minor hiccups. I would highly recommend it to anyone [...]
Airfix P-40 Warhawk 1:48
Here comes my first build of the year. I've always found the Airfix kits to be comforting, as long as you accept with an open heart whatever lies ahead. I mean they are really enjoyable.
There was nothing special about this build, [...]
