Airfix kits

TBD-1 Devastator VT-6, 1Feb 1941, Airfix 1/72

This was flown by LtCdr. Massey and RMC1c Grent, over the Kwajalein lagoon in Marshall Islands. Massey was later lost at Midway. The kit is an old boxing of the Airfix kit. Except for the crude clear parts, the kit was pretty clean. The [...]

Sea Harrier BAe Systems Airfix 1/48

Hi all , well it's been a while since I posted anything so I thought I would share my latest completed project with you that I finished a month or so ago. It is the quite old Airfix Sea Harrier , I'm not sure how old the mould is but it [...]

B-29A Superfortress “Command Decision” Korean War Airfix Old Mold 1/72

Just completed,no top gun modeller,but the bomber for sure with 5 MiG´s!

1/72 Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat – Airfix New Mold

This build has a story. In 1992 I attended the “1942: Issue in Doubt” symposium by the Admiral Nimitz Museum (now the National Museum of the Pacific War). Featured speakers at the event included several pilots who had fought at the [...]

Airfix 1/72 Bristol Beaufort.

Another gem of a kit from Airfix. Flawless fit from start to finish. Built from the box, apart from an Eduard harness I added to the pilot seat. Finished in MRP paints, with some oils for final weathering. A highly enjoyable build, it took [...]

Finished Typhoon 1/24

Well, sometime things just seem to fall together! I thought that I had done my lot for today working out how to sort out the bombay/Blue Steel issue, when a little tinkering and the next thing you know, four happy hours have gone past. [...]

Avro Vulcan B1 conversion 25/09/21 update

Well, here's the update today (so far!). The Subject of my conversion is Vulcan B1. I thought it was a B1a, but it seems 903 was a B1. Now the bombay I intended to use was the one from the kit. But it turns out that the Blue Steel rode [...]

Avro Vulcan B1a Blue Steel Project.

Well, I just couldn't resist it. Despite loads of Leopard projects piling up, when I decided to restore my other B1a, I just HAD to start another one. This particular one is going to be XA903. This was a B1a that was modified for Blue [...]

Restoration Project, Avro Vulcan B1a

Well, the danger of moving boxes etc in the man cave, you occasionally come across a project you had tucked away in a "safe place" and then forgotten about. This is the Airfix 1/72 Avro Vulcan B2, converted back to a B1a. I used [...]
