1/48 Classic Airframes Bf 109B-2
This was built primarily out of the box with an Ultracast seat added and the prop pieced together from a CMK 109E prop. The documentation is all over the place on this aircraft. I have seen it referred to as a B, C, and D in [...]
Classic Airframes 1/48 Westland Whirlwind Mk. I
This is my Classic Airframes Whirlwind I, from the 2003 re-release of the Classic Airframes kit.
The Westland Whirlwind was, at the time of its initial appearance, one of the most advanced fighter aircraft ever built. Unfortunately, it [...]
My Supermarine Walrus 1/48 Classic airframes
Hope you like. My first real go at rigging. Not counting Tamiya's Swordfish rigging kit parts that came with it. It was fun. 🙂 For some reason, the last two pics are upside down... No idea why. Lol.
For the Battle of France / Battle of Britain topic. Classic Airframes 1/48
Hi all, for the BoF/BoB.
1/48 CA Boultan Paul Defiant. I loved building this kit. Lots of fun even with the extra workload of a limited run kit. It went together very nicely.
Not many pics sorry. But hope you like anyway.
Paul.

Following the conclusion of the [...]
Classic Airframes 1/48 Fiat CR.42 CN
The last of the great biplane fighters to enter service in 1938, the Fiat CR.42 “Falco” (Falcon) became the single most-produced Italian fighter. Agile, light, and regarded by Regia Aeronautica pilots as a wonderful aircraft to fly, [...]
The mythical beast: 1/48 Wyverns from Classic Airframes and Trumpeter
The Wyvern has to be one of the strangest airplanes to ever grace a carrier deck. The first turboprop, its ten years of gestation and failure as the FAA's strike force paid off for the rest of aviation by solving the problems of [...]
Classic Airframes 1:48: Boulton Paul Defiant Mk1, Hornchurch, 1940
The build:
I was never happy with the finish on this one so went for a complete respray as the real aircraft had a roughly applied demarcation line between upper/lower paint scheme on fuselage. Re-done weathering and added antennae wire. I [...]
