Revell 1/72 Avro Shackleton – WL747 "Florence" 8 Squadron RAF Lossiemouth 1979
This one was personal.
We used to get most of our AEF at Lossiemouth when I was in the Cadets and whilst this was mostly Chippie based, one glorious summer Sunday we got a long flight in this Grey Lady.
Still one of the most memorable [...]
More Models
Hello:
The great and friendly reception I got in this group motivated me to resume my modelling activities that have been dormant for more than 40 years. I just ordered a 1/600 scale Graf Spee from Airfix and a 1/570 scale Scharnhorst [...]
Video: Airfix 1:72 B-17G Flying Fortress
Okay, I wasn't expecting to build two B-17's this past year. I bought this in the early summer and the more I looked at the parts the more I wanted to build this kit! I guess in a way I couldn't resist as the B-17 is my favourite [...]
“He who sows the Fury will reap the Hurricane!” Sidney Camms biplane masterpiece Hawker Fury
With the last years of the 1930s, the era of the biplane in military use finally came to an end. Although it was a farewell, it was a grand departure! The Hawker Fury I can be counted among the top products of a design concept oriented [...]
Spitfirepalooza Continues
I just finished another Spitfire to add to my collection. This time it’s the Airfix 1/72 Mk. Vb in the colors of Don Gentile’s aircraft. I believe the molds for this are from the mid 70’s and while there is a lack of detail (as in no [...]

"It's a bomber, it's a bomber....!"
October 2019 marked the 40th anniversary of Motörhead’s iconic third album Bomber. An absolute rock’n’roll classic from start to finish, raging through Dead Men Tell No Tales, Stone Dead Forever, Sharpshooter and (of course) the [...]
1/48 Airfix Ju-87B-1 Stuka Diorama
This is the 1/48 Airfix Junkers JU-87B-1 Stuka. This was a World War II dive bomber use by Germany. The scheme is that of the Staffelkapitan, 4th Staffel, Stukageshwader 77. It represents how it looked in June 1940 in France. I detailed [...]
Airfix 1:35 M3 Stuart 'Honey'
First build completed in 2021. Off to a good start.
This is a rebox of the Academy M3 with different markings and camo scheme. The quality is decent but definitely not comparable to current Tamiya, Meng or Takom standards. The [...]
