Pearl Harbor GB: Curtiss P-40B Warhawk – Airfix 1/48
A happy New Year to all my fellow modelers!
This evening (almost midnight), I'd like to share with you my most recent build (and last of 2021 by a hair), which is of course the Airfix P-40B. This kit needs nothing said of it, and I [...]
Airfix 1/72 Messerschmitt Bf-109E3
My final completion for 2021.
Always fancied doing a Swiss one of these.
Pretty much OOB apart from the Decals and shaving some lumps and bumps off.
The armament isn't right but it's 1/72 I can't see it from a foot away.
Primed with Tamiya [...]
Airfix 1/72 McDonnell Douglas Phantom FG.1 – Black Mike
A nostalgia build for me as it took me back to my time in Leuchars Signal Box watching the comings and goings from the base.
Primed with Tamiya Nato Black and Neutral Grey.
Painted with ColourCoats Night Bomber Black, Oxford Blue, Insignia [...]
1/72 Airfix A6M2b Zero
My final build for 2021. I started this on the 2nd of this month to see if I could get a build done in a months time. This is the Airfix 1/72 A6M2b kit. Its mostly OOB. I added PE seatbelts and some gunsight glass. Hinomarus and stripes [...]
Defiant!
Here’s my interpretation of the Boulton Paul Defiant Mk. I, N1801, “Coimbatore II”, from No.264 Squadron, Royal Air Force Duxford, flown by Flying Officer F. D. Hughes and Sergeant F. Gash (gunner).
This is another excellent 1/48 [...]
Airfix DHC-1 Chipmunk 1/48 scale
The DHC-1 Chipmunk has often been referred to as "the poor man's Spitfire". I've painted this one in civil registration for an aircraft in Malaysia in the early 1970s that my dad used to fly, and have been racing to complete it [...]
Review: Airfix 1/48 De Havilland Chipmunk T.10
It is fairly fresh off the Airfix work desks and you may have a seen a few of them built already, however there might be some interest to see a few sprue shots and close-up stills.
First sprue is the wings. Beautiful they are and it seems [...]
SA-2 Guideline{S-75} SAM, Airfix 1/76. A Thud Drivers worse nightmare.
SA-2 Gudeline or a Thud drivers worse nightmare. A few years ago I found this rare kit by chance in an old hobby shop called Dave's that since has closed. It's straight out of the box, I added a windshield using clear package material. The [...]

Airfix 1/48 P-51D Mustang "Little Indian". Flown by 1st Lt. Harold Hettema Jr., Kalaikunda, India, 1945. I wasn't able to find much information on LT Hettema, other than:
He flew "Little Indian" as part of the 2nd [...]
1/144 Airfix SR.N4 Hovercraft
1/144 Airfix SR.N4 Hovercraft
Vintage kit of great hovercraft. A lot of clamps and pressure required to get the main sections to fit. Interior details fine for their time. Less fit issues than many 'see thru' models.
