Airfix Douglas C-47 Skytrain
This is the new mold Airfix C-47A in 1/72 scale. It is a fine kit in all respects, it builds up quickly and with no surprises. The interior is perfectly adequate, very little can be seen in any case and I would advise against adding [...]
Review: October 2019 Airfix Model World magazine – really useful
Was just at the LHS and picked up the October 2019 issue of Airfix Model World. They have a nice (probably sponsored) article on "100 years of Humbrol," in which Jay Blakemore describes several really good airbrushing techniques [...]

Airfix B-17G Anxious Angel
This is the Airfix B-17G, which represents a late production Fortress with the Cheyenne tail turret and staggered waist gun positions. This is a nice kit right out of the box, I added a few aftermarket bits but you would still get a nice [...]
Airfix 1:48 Scale, Bristol Blenheim Mk.If
I just finished this one...loved the kit, and planning on a second in Desert Air Force livery.
On the whole, the kit was an interesting build. Went together well, without a lot of crying... very little putty... putty means sanding... [...]
