Avro Shackleton MR.2 in 1/72 by Airfix
This is the first major 1/72nd kit I have built since around 1985: usually I do 1/48 & 1/32 scale, however the Shackleton has always been a favourite & at just over half a metre wingspan it's not small! Beautifully moulded & [...]
1/72 Airfix Whitley
The Armstrong Whitworth A.W.38 Whitley was one of three British twin engine bomber types in service with the Royal Air Force at the outbreak of the Second World War, the others being the Vickers Wellington and the Handley Page Hampden. [...]
1/72 A.W. Whitley Mk. V
This is the new Airfix kit built almost from the box. I only added a bit of internal structure inside the fuselage behind the open door. It was finished with Humbrol enamels and kit decals. I have a weakness for 1/72 RAF bombers and [...]
IAF Fouga Magister Airfix 1:72

The New Airfix Defiant in 1:48
Here are a few pictures of the all new Airfix 1:48 scale Defiant which I have built for Airfix Modelworld Magazine and is featured in the new issue of the magazine which came out yesterday. I have to say this is a superb kit, fit is [...]

Aeroclub/Airfix Spitfire Mk 21
This is a conversion of the Airfix Seafire 46/47 using the old Aeroclub Spitfire Mk. 21 conversion set. The conversion uses the extended kit wing, landing gear, exhausts and miscellaneous parts along with Aeroclub's fuselage, radiator [...]
Airfix 1/48 Bf 109E-1
A bargain compared to the Tamiya and Eduard Emil kits, if only for the optional parts. You can do just about every major E subtype from the parts in the box.
There are a few minor let downs. The propeller blade shape us a tad dodgy, and [...]
