Pre-war Spitfire
Having completed my Battle of Britain series I decided to actually build something for myself for a change. I settled on building some pre-war Spitfires using the new Airfix Mk1kit in 1:48 and here is the first one built as one of 19 [...]

1/72 Fouga CM-170 Magister
Another old Airfix kit build. The Magister is such a unique bird that I had to build it, but didn't like the NMF or other French livery. Finally ran across the IsraDecal offering of decals for Israeli versions and I was good to go!
The [...]
Finally got round to making the stand.
Make my own stands for aircraft. I mostly use coffee sticks but I'm trying to be more inventive and upcycle other things as well. This is the latest for my 1/72 Red Arrows Gnat. First Jet I've finished and quite happy with the result. [...]

Icelandic P-40C in 1/72

VF-9 was formed in the summer of 1942 to become the fighter squadron of the air group that would be assigned to the USS Essex (CV-9) then nearing construction completion. In September 1942, VF-9 was ordered aboard USS Ranger (CV-4) as a [...]
AgustaWestland Merlin – Airfix 1/48th
Here's Airfix's 1/48th Merlin, built out of the box with the exception of an Eduard cockpit set.
This was tricker than I had anticipated, with the tolerance between parts being very fine and many pieces needed a quick sanding in order to [...]
Airfix 1/72nd scale Dornier Do17Z
Here is my effort at the new tool Dornier Do17Z from Airfix in 1/72nd scale.
It was a completely trouble-free OOB build, finished with Xtracolour enamel paints.
An absolute gem of a kit.
