Airfix kits

DHA Vampire T 35, A79-637, Telstars, CFS RAAF East Sale Vic 1966.

1/72 Airfix, my third Vampire, I fitted nav' lights and antennae, finished in Model Master enamels with Future over kit and Daves decals.

Finished! - 1:48 Scale, Airfix Hawker Hurricane

I got this one done, my third for this year! A honey of a kit, loaded with detail and great fit! Loved building this model and I'm gonna have to pencil in another one, just because! I hope you like the end result, and I saw earlier, one [...]

Airfix 1/48 Hawker Hurricane

Today I fire a 1/48 scale salvo at my good friend Dennis Meyers in our friendly model competition (I know he's working on the Eduard 1/48 Spitfire he received from imodeler). This is my fourth completed kit for 2016, the Airfix 1/48 Hawker [...]

Airfix 1/72 Hurricane stirs a rivalry

Note that this article is the next episode of a friendly rivalry between myself and my good friend Scott Nelson (see Painting a Spitfire on March 8) centered around new Airfix 1/72 kits. These are great models that stand up to kits twice [...]

N.A. Mustang IV, Airfix 1/72

Hello everyone. My first completed models this year. I am happy with the result. Very good fit, but Humbrol acrylic paints are terrible for AB. I hope you like it 🙂 Cheers. Mladen.

Airfix 1/72 Beaufighter TF X

Originally conceived as a heavy fighter development from the Bristol Beaufort torpedo bomber, the Bristol Type 156 was submitted to an RAF as an “interim” alternative to the Westland Whirlwind, which was experiencing development delays [...]

Airfix Whitley

This is my version of the Airfix 1/72 Armstrong Whitworth Whitley. For a good bit of history about the Whitley look up Tom Cleaver's article here on imodeler. I found the kit to be an enjoyable build. Even though the fuselage is [...]

Airfix 1:48 Scale Hawker Hurricane Mk.I

Hey Folks Here are a few WIP pictures, updating what's been done on this kit. She's a real beauty! I have some touching up to do before I apply the first gloss coat. Then it's decals, second gloss coat, and then the flat coat and [...]

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 & [...]
