No particular story to go with this one. Xtradecals 1/32 Hurricane Part 1 sheet used to do an airplane of 213 "Hornet" Squadron in the Western Desert, spring 1942, mostly chosen because I liked the hornet insignia on the [...]
This was my second kit completed just over a year ago. Having just purchased an airbrush, I needed something to practice on, and this was it - the cheapest kit I could find. The kit itself is pretty dated now but goes together well enough [...]
I built this a few months ago and it is the kit that started my current "rediscovery" of Airfix as a competitive brand. Not a "shake and bake" but well thought out and with a little care builds into a nice aircraft. I [...]

Well I've finally(!) got around to finishing a kit, a rare event sadly! Bought a new compressor and dual action air brushes which helped! This is the new tool Airfix kit. Needless to say a great kit from Airfix and so well priced. In [...]
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 [...]
