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.
Painting a Spitfire
The iconic Spitfire is one of my three most favorite WW II aircraft, the others being the P-47 and P-51. Going all the way back to the old Hawk Models 1/72 Spitfire Mk. 22, 1/48 Monogram Mk. IX and Airfix 1/24 Mk. I, I’ve built at [...]
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

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
This was inspired by an episode described by Steven Pressfield in The Lion's Gate: On the Front Lines of the Six Day War in which newly minted IAF pilots were dispatched on close support missions in Fouga trainers. Compared to newer [...]
