Bob Typhoon! Nice to meet you.
When I first saw a photo of the Eurofighter FGR4 in the 75th anniversary Battle of Britain colors, I immediately put having a model of that plane on my want list. Eventually I picked up a Revell 1/72 Eurofighter and found the Caracal [...]
More Spitfirepalooza
Here’s another oldie, the Airfix 1/48 Spitfire Mk. 22/24. As many have commented, this was great kit for it’s time and I think it still holds up very well. The only failing for me with the version I bought was the decals. At the time [...]
1/32 Hunter
This is another older build for my archive, the Revell 1/32 Hawker Hunter. Now I have at least one Hunter in 1/144, 1/72, 1/48 and 1/32 scale. It’s a beautiful aircraft in any scale, that’s for sure!
Spitfirepalooza: an Old Addition
Here’s one I did some years ago, the notorious Hasegawa Spitfire Mk. IX. I remember it being a typically good Hasegawa kit. The short nose is obvious and a bit distracting for me. Fortunately, the Eduard Spitfires have come along o give [...]
Spitfire Mk VIII
Recently I completed an Arii Spitfire Mk VIII. The MkVIII is my favorite
version of the Spitfire and as fate would have it, there was this one waiting in my stash of unbuilt kits. It was the first time I had made extensive use of paper [...]
1/72 Italeri Chinook HC.1
RAF Chinook used during the Falkland War built from the Italeri CH-47(HC.1) kit no 064. Built straight from the box, but modified some details according to the photos I found on the net of this Chinook. Still there might be some mistakes [...]
1/72 Matchbox Provost (Pk-30)
I built this from the original Matchbox kit (2 colour) that was issued in the mid 1970's. I don't know if it was ever issued under Revell (it seems not). The decals had the usual residue of the Matchbox decals of the era when applying [...]
Airfix 1/48 Spitfire PR. XIX
Hello iModeler! This is my recently finished Airfix Spitfire PR. XIX. Although the interferon detail was not as crisp as the newly tooled Airfix Mk. V Spitfire, it was still a fun kit and went together rather nicely. Build was OOB, [...]
1/72 Airfix Phantom FGR.2 1435 flight, RAF Mount Pleasant 1991
G’day all.
Another Phantom!
An annoying start followed by a pleasant build for the most part, I’m happy to say that this was an enjoyable project. The kit is built as XV466 ‘D’ Desperation while assigned to 1435 flight at RAF Mount [...]
Wartime Spitfire Mk.XVI Model Build – 1/48 Scale Eduard Kit
I had this Mk.XVI kit after buying it initially to supply parts to my mammoth Mk.XIV high-back Spitfire kit bash project (found here: (link)). A relatively straightforward build notwithstanding the usual fiddly nature of Eduard Spitfires - [...]
