by James Brian Pruitt on December 15, 2024 · in Reviews · 2 ≡

I like 1960's Fleet Air Arm (FAA) aircraft and inspired by the amazing painting on the box art, I purchased Sword's Fairey Gannet AEW.3, in 1/72 scale. I chose the second set of markings, included in the kit, depicting aircraft XP224 of [...]

Airfix 1/48th Fairey Gannet AS.4

by mark poulton on January 8, 2024 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

I pre-ordered this kit as soon as it was announced. A year went by and then it was released and I could barely wait to get to work on it. Well it now completed and the wait was well worth it. The latest Airfix kits continue to get ever [...]

Hawker Sea Hurricane, in 1/48, by Airfix.

by Tony Prince on April 21, 2023 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

An enjoyable build (for the most part) and one which I will be happy to do again, as I have the standard Hurricane in my stash. Commendable fit except for the interior cockpit framing interfering with the fuselage/ wing joint. Solved by [...]

by Scott Nelson on October 7, 2020 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

In a 30+ year teaching career (and still going in this crazy 2020) I spent 17 of them in 6th grade. At the end of the year many students will often give a token of appreciation such as gift cards, mugs, and such to their teachers. About 18 [...]

Revell 1/72 F4U–1B Corsair – HMS Colossus July 1945 – FAA 1846 Naval Air Squadron

by David Mills on March 25, 2019 · in Aviation · 26 ≡

I picked up this little gem last year and have been working away at it off and on for some time. Despite what Revell says it is more likely to be a F4U -1D, and there is some debate as to whether the makings are right for this time period [...]
