Three Me 262s: Finale
I am a member of the Warbirds Aviation Modelling Group (Melbourne, Australia: (link)).
Each year we have two club competitions, "Gunna Build" and "Build a “Build a B#%@#$".
The "Gunna Build" is an open build [...]
1/48 Bristol Blenheim If.
This is the outstanding recent Airfix kit. It’s highly detailed, well engineered, and is a pleasure to build. I started this one late last year and it assembled very quickly with no problems. The only thing I added was a set of Eduard [...]
TF-51 Mustangs in 1/72
Going small 🙂 This is the first time I've built a 1/72nd scale fighter(s). Tiny! The Little Witch was converted from the Tamiya kit, and Miss Velma is the AIrfix kit. I love them both, they both build up in to fine models. The AIrfix [...]
Airfix 1/72nd scale B-25 Mitchell (RAF version)
Here's Airfix's relatively new-tool 1/72nd scale B-25 Mitchell.
This was built out of the box as a mojo-restorer and what a cracking little kit it was! It goes together beautifully, is crammed with detail and was an absolute pleasure - [...]
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.

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 [...]
