The 361st Fighter Group and “Lou IV”: The 361st Fighter Group, comprising the 374th, 375th and 376th Fighter Squadrons, came into existence on February 10, 1943 at Richmond Army Air Base, Virginia. The unit was formed with trained [...]

BAe Hawk T.Mk.1A (Airfix 1:72)

Hi! This is latest my model. I painted with a brush and Revell aqua colors. I hope you like it!

Major Walter Sigel’s Ju 87R-2 from Stab I./StG 3 – The Kit

I will use the 1/48 new tool Airfix B-2/R-2 kit for this build. By the way, I was surprised that this kit has no coverage here (at least I couldn’t find any). I also have some extra goodies I may use. The kit was released in 2017 and [...]

Review: Airfix 1/72 Blackburn Buccaneer S.2C

Very fun build, the only problems I had were vague locations for various hoses and tubes, and my drive shaft that ran through the turbine section was warped. Had a big dogleg in it. Trying to fix it it broke. Well not to worry I did [...]

Airfix 1/72 A-4B Skyhawk, VA-15 Valions, USS Intrepid, Tonkin Gulf 1967

Hi all, In order to keep the illusion going for the kids, I always purchase gifts for my wife and myself to put under the tree with their gifts around Christmas. For myself I usually just get something cheap and so this year I bought the [...]

Eye of the Tiger

I know…here we go again, here comes another stinking P-40, and a “Flying Tiger” one at that. But…Please bear with me. When I was a kid in the 1950’s, the “Flying Tigers”…the pilots of Claire Chennaults’s American [...]

Airfix 1/72 Dakota – D-Day Doll

Hi There, So, last year when the Dakotas were at Prestwick I took a run through on the Saturday with Innis and his pal on what turned out to be a particulary typical Scottish summer day. We were able to get on board D-Day Doll which for me [...]
