1/72 Marine SBD-1 Dauntless
A couple of years ago I replaced my Airfix "Sail12" SBD-3 Dauntless (below) with a better Hasegawa kit.
Rather than leave the old kit sitting on the obsoletes shelf I repainted and redecaled it for 2-MB-1, the commander's [...]
A Captured Zero, Airfix A6M2b 1/72
‘Sticking’ to the Rising Decals MM72-0101 Dying Suns Pt.2 decal sheet, I wanted to have a captured Zero in my display. The decal sheet called for a Nakajima built A6M2 m.21 and specified the aircraft had type 99 Mark II cannons - I had [...]

Airfix 1:48 Hawker Hunter F.6
Not a long story to tell for this one. The Airfix 1:48 Hunters are pretty nice kits; they've got some clever engineering, especially in the intake area, although it's not done with the finesse one would find in a recent Tamiya kit. I added [...]
Airfix Fairey Gannet AS4 1/48.
Hi folks, long time no posts and I apologise about that, life has changed for me. My marriage broke down and I am now living with my dear old mum down in Devon. I now have a man cave to build in and astash to play with.
Anyhow, I saw this [...]
