1/72 Bristol Beaufighter TF.10.
This is the still new Airfix kit. The kit itself is superb, featuring solid engineering and great fit. I finished it straight from the box, including kit decals for 45 Squadron in Malaya during 1949. I did make seatbelts from painted [...]
Malaysian RF-5E Tiger Eye – Airfix 1/72
When I saw a pic of the Malaysian scheme in a magazine, I had to build it. I ordered a couple different sets of after market decals (none for an F-5), but they didn't fit the size of the model. I was surprised when I opened the box that [...]
Airfix 1/48 Walrus
I can't rate this kit highly enough. It was an absolute dream to build, and I managed to finish it in less than a month, in no small part due to the fact that I only once had to trim something to fit (I took about .5 of a millimetre from [...]
Bf109E3 – the Royal Yugoslav Air Force
The third decade of 20th century was world’s turbulent turning point. Germany was ruled by total dictatorship, Italy was finding way into world’s politics, Britany and France were asleeped…and everyone was rearming and arming for the [...]
Airfix Sea Fury FB.11
Well done Airfix! Having read all the reports about this kit, I thought I would pre-empt any problems by getting in a few resin after market bits & pieces in advance. In the event I hardly used any. In the cockpit I chose the resin [...]

Airfix 1:72 Bristol Beaufighter Mk.X
Another nice Airfix kit completed. This is a very well engineered kit that essentially fell together. The only finicky issue was that the propeller/shaft assembly wouldn't seat fully in the engine until I filed out the opening some. [...]
Review: Build Review – Airfix 1/48 Bristol Blenheim Mk.IF
Building the Airfix Blenheim does not differ from any other aircraft – construction starts with the cockpit. So instead of walking through the whole routine I will focus on what my particular experience and thoughts are.
There are a [...]
Canadian Car Foundry – Hawker Hurricane
I built this Hurricane from old Airfix 1/24 scale kit.
Painting is most likely the natural finish it had at factory before delivery to RAF.
1/48, Airfix P-40B
Hi All,
My recent completion of the 1/48, Airfix, P-40B. Other than using an Ultracast seat it was built out of the box, painted with Vallejo Model Air and minimal weathering with artist oils pin wash and dry brushing to highlight. The [...]
