The idee about this diorama came from a fellow modeller from the club we are in when i was building the plane.

SCRATCH BUILT No. 5
I converted a 1/24 scale Airfix P-51D to a P-51B for a client. Gee-whiz, holy cow, I had no idea how much work was involved when I took on this project, however, day by day it all came together as I had no drawing's nor measurement's to [...]
1/48 Airfix Glster Javelin FAW.9/9R
This build was the Airfix 1/48 scale kit of the Gloster Javelin FAW .9/9R. I used Eduard’s Photo etch set and the kit decals. The Javelin is a large aircraft so even in 1/48 scale it takes up some room.The kit is nice in fit and details. [...]
Airfix 1/48 Spitfire Mk 22
Hello, fellas. Hope you are all safe and having a good time buiding models at home!
This kit has been reviewed several times. It was great when it came out (1996, IIRC), but has since been surpassed by Airfix’s new releases. The cockpit [...]
Major Walter Sigel’s Ju 87R-2 from Stab I./StG 3 – The Cockpit
Unlike many for whom cockpits are a chore, I love building and detailing the pilots workplace.

Airfix Fokker F-27 – 1/72 scale
I had the intention to build the old Revell Fokker F-27 in 1/94 scale as it brings me good memories, however, I had the Airfix model in 1/72 scale in my stash so I went with this model instead.
Although this kit was injected in a 1960 [...]

This is part two of my new series on the Battle of Britain (which has just started with part 1 - the Spitfire - in the new edition of Model Airplane International, out now). This is the superb Airfix Ju87 B-1 Stuka, built as an aircraft [...]

P51D-5 flown by Lt John Howell 364th FS, 357thFG 8th Airforce RAF Leiston, July 1944. 1/48 Airfix Pleasure to build. I had to paint over the red checkered decals s my insignia red didn’t quite match. But a steady hand seemed to work. I [...]
STUKA! Airfix's classic 1/24th scale kit
I've just added the final touches to Airfix's classic 1/24th scale Stuka B-2. I've finished it as a machine from 3/St.G2 based in Northern France, August 1940.
A great kit to build, and despite its age it's crammed full of detail, has some [...]
1/48 p-51b
This is an Accurate Miniatures P-51B that has been patiently waiting in my stash to be built for over 20 years. I have to confess that I’m not a huge Mustang fan, but have collected a few of the new Airfix and Eduard “D” models to [...]
