1:48 Scale, Airfix P-40B, “Tomahawk”
Terrific model, excellent build, and one I would recommend absolutely.
I used Tamiya acrylics, which is something I have not done in over twenty years. I also used Star Fighter Decals, which I am pleased to report, worked flawlessly. [...]
Airfix 5120 1:48 Messerschmitt Bf 109E-4
My first 1:48 Airfix kit, it was an absolute joy to build, except for the canopy, which had an awful fit.
Parts also fitted very tight in some areas, so they had to be sanded to get a good fit.
I used the kit decals to make Adolf [...]
Airfix 1:48 Boulton Paul Defiant

1:48 Scale, Airfix, Boulton-Paul Defiant
This is another one of Airfix's "New Tool" kits. It is a good kit, that also builds well, and it's a subject that is not often seen. I found it enjoyable, and would also recommend it to anyone. Trumpeter also produces a [...]
1:48 Scale, Airfix Hawker Hurricane Mk.I “Trop”
My second Airfix Hurricane, and I tried a few new things during the build.
Firstly, the kit is a winner, no matter which version you attempt to build. As a matter of fact, parts to build multiple versions, come in most kit. You have [...]
Boeing 314 Clipper 1/144
This is another ancient Airfix offering that has been on the "to do" list my whole life, I always loved the graceful lines of this aircraft even as a kid, it somehow oozes art deco,but as a young lad with limited spending money [...]
