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 [...]
1/48 Airfix Hurricane Mk I
This is the new tool Airfix Hurricane Mk I. The kit was great and I think is arguably the best out there in 1/48 of the Hurricane. I added resin exhaust and wheels from Brassin by Eduard and stole a rear view mirror from one of my Hasegawa [...]
Airfix 1/72 Hawker Hurricane Mk.I early
This is the new Hawker Hurricane Mk.I by Airfix. I added a ring and bead gun sight, made out of twist tie wire, as well as the pitot tubes made of the same wire.
I also added Quickboost exhausts, and CMK five spoke wheels
Decals are Iliad [...]
Airfix Folland Gnat T.1, 1/72
Except for a lot of add-on details in the cockpit (punched instrument faces, reworked ejection seats, sawn-open canopy, it's basically stock. Solid overall detailing, but still before Airfix really hit its stride in the past couple of [...]

Moved in February - no modeling in January, February or early March.
Wrote "The Frozen Chosen" between [...]
2016 Ambition-In with the New Finish the Old!
As the new year begins today, I want to be a little ambitious and start some new projects, complete older ones that have been on the back burner too long. 2015 I was able to whittle some of those older projects and finally complete them. [...]
1:72 Airfix Mig 15
One of my first forays into 1:72, Airfix's Mig 15 finished as an example from Cuba
1:72 Zero's (Pearl Harbour)
Three Zero's representing Zero's from three of the six Japanese carriers at the Pearl Harbour attack (please don't ask me which carriers).
Made up from two Hasegawa and one Airfix but mainly using the Hasegawa decals, all painted with [...]
Last builds of completed models of 2015: Airfix 1/72 Blenheim Mk. IF and Mk. IV
Last builds of the year, the beautiful little Airfix Blenheims. Since between the two kits together there are parts to mix-and-match to create different versions than OOB, I used the gun tray from the Mk.IV kit to turn the other into a [...]
