V-bombers - 1:72 Airfix Valiant and Vulcan
Hi all. Been lurking for quite a while, enjoying all the builds and stories. Been intimidated by the quality, but have decided to post some of my builds. I categorize my builds by series - series one thru three. Series one, which I [...]
iModeler at the movies, stand in for the Mig 15, the F-84F, Airfix 1/72
Harken back to the old group build, iModeller at the movies, this one was seen in The Hunters. Several F-84s were done up as Mig 15s against Robert Mitchum and F-86's. This is still a nice kit, a bit old maybe they could revamp the molds.
Saved by the Bell, 1/72nd Bf 109E-3 Airfix A02062
I bought a kit on FB/Marketplace with a porch pickup, having to ring the bell after leaving the agreed payment in the mailbox. I left the payment, rang the doorbell and started walking back to my car. The seller then came out and added [...]
Airfix Hawker Hurricane Mk.1 / France, 1940
A few months ago i read an interesting article regarding the german breakthrough at Sedan in 1940 and how the myth of the weak resistance of the allied forces was created. I think it's fascinating how a series of small strategic mistakes [...]

Airfix 1/72 McDonnell Douglas Phantom FG.1 XV582 Lands End – John O' Groats
By sheer coincidence I've managed to finish this version of XV582 exactly 3 years to the day after a later version of the same airframe.
Nothing to add about the Airfix Phantom that hasn't already been said but I'm enjoying my journey [...]
Sunk F4F Wildcat "Felix the Cat" from USS Lexington CV-2
Disclaimer: I really struggled if I would publish this yet or not.
In March 4th 2018 the oceanographic ship RV Petrel found the old wreck of the carrier CV-2 USS Lexington, sunk in the Coral Sea battle. Among the items scattered on the [...]
Airfix Gloster Gladiator Mk.II 1/72
I enjoy building late 1930 / early war planes from the RAF. I like the planes and i find the schemes interesting. So naturally i have wanted to build the Airfix Gladiator for awhile now. The kit is great except for the cockpit door, its [...]
