Airfix 1/72 Cessna 0-1F Bird Dog
Thought for once I would do a quick fun build over a week end. And here it is, the old Airfix 0-1 Bird Dog. What a tiny model for me to be doing. The old decals pretty much fell apart so most are from my spares box. Fit was OK but the [...]
Review: Airfix 1/48th P-40B Warhawk Build Review, Part 2
After having had a look at what is in the box in part 1 ((link)), it is time to actually start building this thing. And we all know how this goes, right?
You don’t say. Anyway, the cockpit goes together quite well, if you keep in mind [...]
Review: Airfix 1/48th P-40B Warhawk Build Review, Part 1

1/ 72 Airfix Grumman Widgeon

1/48 P-40B
This is the latest, and greatest P-40 kit. The brand new Airfix P-40B! What's not to like about this one? I built it out of the box including using the excellent decals provided for Lt. Welch's Pearl Harbor a/c. I mixed the cockpit's [...]
Airfix 1/72 J30 Mosquito
Finished some time ago, OOB. Colors are Gunze acrylics, decals from the box, a few things added in the cockpit. I simply love the Airfix Mosquito, somehow it looks just right to my eye. Thanks for looking, comments are always welcome!
