Classic Kit: Airfix 1/72 Me-262 Kit # 110 (1960)
When Airfix issued their new Me-262 kit I decided to build the original kit for a fun comparison. The original early kit is built out of the box and I used the second set of markings from the new kit. As most early kits from that era the [...]
1/72 Airfix Royal Navy Buccaneer S2C, 800 NAS, HMS Eagle, June 1971
G'day all. It's been a while between drinks. It just so happens I reduced the stash by one over the weekend.
This is the lovely 1/72 Airfix S2C Buccaneer. It's a great kit to build with only two real gripes. I found that the inserts for [...]
M8 ‘HELLCAT’
This is number 2 of 3 builds I've had going on at the same time, and all just getting finishing touches added to them before I have been able to declare them 'finished'. So this one is now... 'finished' (The first of the 3 was my previous [...]
Airfix 1/72 Wellington Mk 1a/c "R" Robert
Alongside my He111, I'm also making the Airfix new mould kit. I'm going to be doing "R" Robert. I will therefore be building her in the Mk1a configuration. The actual aircraft was recovered from Loch Ness back in the 1980's and [...]
Airfix 1/72 He111 H6 progress
Some time ago (April 2019) I was awarded by iModeler the Airfix 1/72 He 111 H6. At long last I have been able to make some headway with the kit at last! I have some Eduard etch to put inside the fuselage and when she is buttoned up I can [...]
Beaufort! The New Mk. I from Airfix
My version of the great new Airfix kit.
Of the two available scenes, I chose L9866, which flew from St. Eval and was lost on February 1st, 1941, probably to fire from a 109E. Both schemes have compelling stories connected to them; I chose [...]
Airfix 1/72 scale F-86F/E(M) Sabre. With “The Huff” decals.
The F-86 was one of first new kits released from Hornby Hobbies and I believe that they may have lifted the drawings from one of their Corgi metal diecast kits to meet the needs of doing the plastic version in 1/72nd. Looking into the [...]
1/48 Spitfire Mk. XII.
This is the Airfix kit from around 10 years ago. This kit and the Seafire XVII were the first 1/48 Spitfires designed by Airfix under Hornby’s management.
I built this one straight from the box for the most part. I only added Eduard [...]
From Pearl Harbour to Calvary – The history of Mitsuo Fushida closed in small model of plane
I met the character of Mitsuo Fushida for the first time while watching, not so long ago, quite old (but very good) movie "Tora Tora Tora". A slim man with a characteristic mustache with a sense of his mission. As it turns out, [...]
