Fairy Swordfish Mk.I Floatplane, Tamiya 1/48

Today, I would like to upload a biplane I adore, the British Royal Navy's Swordfish. This is Tamiya's 1/48 Swordfish Mk I floatplane. Normally, I avoid 1/48 scale due to space constraints, but my desire to build this aircraft won out, and [...]

Flyhawk 1/700 Prince of Wales

First attempt at a battleship and first attempt at the scale. It turned out quite well, I think - they never turn out as well as we hope they might, eh ? The good thing was that I made a lot of mistakes during the building, but I also [...]

The Battlecruiser HMS Hood 1941, Flyhawk 1/700

Today, I would like to introduce the 1/700 scale model of the British battlecruiser HMS Hood. I'm using a kit from Flyhawk, which recreates the ship as it appeared during the Battle of the Denmark Strait in 1941. This was quite a challenge [...]

Review: 1/72 Sword Fairey Gannet AEW.3

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 [...]

HMS Prince of Wales 1941, Flyhawk 1/700

This is one of my favourite ships, but I have hesitated to post it because, after all, I had built it a bit long time ago. To be honest, it was my first Flyhawk kit and my first attempt at rigging. Again, as before, I cheated with the [...]
