"Duel in the Sun" or YGBSM, F-105F vs SA-2 Guideline. 1/72
YGBSM meaning... You gotta be sh**ing me! The reaction to the description of the Wild Weasel mission when it was explained to an Electronic warfare officer who had transferred from B-52s. Much has been written about the WW mission who went [...]
Mig 17F Angola (1;48 Smer/ Airfix)
Gents and Ladies,
Here is an older kit I did a while back its the 1:48 Smer/ Airifix kit of the Mig 17F.
I used Tom Coopers African Migs as reference for the background info and photos. I drew up the decals for bort numbers and printed [...]
Airfix 1/48 Hawker Sea Fury FB.11 in Cuban Guise
Hi There,
I picked this up recently and got to building quite quickly.
It all fitted very well with very little filler used.
I fancied doing a Cuban version.
Would this version have had The Cuban Flag Tailplane, Bombs and the wing fold [...]
Top Gun ‘MiG-28’ (F-5E), Airfix 1/72
Here is a quick post of the 'MiG-28' from the 1986 Top Gun Movie Airfix kit A00502
With 'Top Gun: Maverick' expected release some time this year, Airfix did a re-release of this kit from the original 1987 kit.
After I posted my last build [...]
1/48 RAAF Tiger Moth – de Havilland 100 Group Build.
This is the new Airfix kit built as an Australian bird that was assigned to 8 Squadron, RAAF, in Malaya in 1941-42. 8 Squadron was a Hudson bomber unit so we can surmise that this Moth was a squadron utility hack. I found a photo of it [...]
1/48 Airfix Spitfire Mk.V
1/48 Airfix Spitfire Mk.V painted with Tamiya and Mr. Color paints, weathered with oils and chalk pastels. I painted the markings and exhaust stains and no decals were used because I didn't have any lol. The markings for this plane are [...]
Airfix 1/72 B-26 Marauder
Airfix 1/72 B-26B Marauder.
I made this kit last year for a FB group build, the theme was "Airfix B-26." Mostly made out of the box build except for the following: added some extra details in the cockpit and bombardier area and [...]
1/72 Airfix Beaufighter TF Mk. X Coastal Command
I call this my FrankenBeau... This was from the old Dogfight Doubles kit (along with the Bf 109 G from my prior post) so a very basic kit. No gun ports, no ejector chutes, raised rivets and panels...
I had accidentally purchased a box of [...]
1/72 Airfix RAF Rescue Launch
Now the PT boat is finished I have started to build the Airfix 1/72 RAF Rescue Launch.
I will be building it as No 172 as seen at Malta and rearranging the kit supplied number 127 to 172. Looking at a B/W photo it looks to have the yellow [...]
MPC (ex-Airfix) 1/72 Hurricane
Since my return back into this hobby last year, I basically just want to build the old kits that I had a chance to build back in the 60's to 70's. I really do not mind if it does not look perfect but I do like to see if the older kits can [...]
