Airfix 1/72 Phantom FG1.
RAF 111st. Squadron around 1986. To finish my triple Phantom project I ended the series with the latest Airfix tool, but for this one I elected to have the cockpit closed, even though I used PE details for it and resin seats (I know they [...]
Airfix 1/72 scale Hawker Typhoon Mk IIb
Hello,
this is my first Hawker Typhoon "Tiffy". My inspriration was the nice 1/24 kit from Airfix. You can find some very nice builds from this kit via Google and that's why I was inspired to try this on a much smaller scale.

I used to think that the P 51D…
I used to think that the P-51D was so "Americana" as a kid. Going to air shows and being inspired to build the Monogram classic's with their 1/48 P-51B Ding Hao along with the P-51D Detroit Miss and of course Big Beautiful Doll [...]

Airfix Skyhawk
My penultimate build for 2020 is the new tool Airfix A-4 Skyhawk. It’s not my best work but, it’s a decent 3 footer. The panel lines on top of the fuselage were very soft so I rescribed them. I tried shading panel lines with water [...]
