2017 build plan
So, taking a leaf from Greg's book - I have decided to commit to a model plan. I think it's an interesting idea to set out what you hope to do and see where you get to at the end of the year. It works generally in life so it should work in [...]
RAH-66 Comanche
Hi folks, just a quick build whilst I take a break from the big harrier currently on the bench. This is Revells 1/72 kit of the Boeing-Sikorsky RAH-66 prototype. I made an impulse buy for £8 at the local model shop!
The Comanche was [...]
Tamiya German Field Commander, 1/16 scale
Tamiya has been making a fair bit of hard currency over the past couple of decades with their 1/16 scale series of plastic figure kits, and their German Field Commander offers a mix of good detail and marginal parts fit.
Molded in # parts [...]

Airfix 1/48 Spitfire Mk XII
Finished this up today so that my hobby tables would be available for Easter dinner (paint stains and all!) Have built 5 of the new tool Airfix kits in the past year. Had more issues with this one than the others. That being said I think [...]
Tamiya 1/48 Focke Wulf Fw-190 F-8, MTO, Italy WWII
Finally able to post this build that was completed in January. Tamiya's excellent Fw-190 F-8, in a desert Scheme of RLM 79/80/76. It was completed about the same time as the D-9 posted earlier, but delayed only because I had snapped the [...]
1/48 AMK Mig-31 Foxhound
Finally finished after being started nearly a year ago. Loved everybit of the build. Painted with Tamiya paints and weathered with Mig wash 🙂
Tamiya, 1:48 scale F4F-4 "Wildcat"
Another kit I finished this weekend...
I'm sure we all have built this model at one time or another, maybe even more than once as in my case. So, I will not go through the kit details, but suffice to say, it's a Tamiya kit, and it builds [...]
1/48 Tamiya AD-4 Skyraider VMA-121 Korean War
I was overjoyed when I found out that some AD-4 Skyraiders received armor plate kits in the Korean War. For me, this meant I could use the Tamiya 1/48 AD-6 kit mostly out of the box...er... what I mean is, I wouldn't have to grind off the [...]
Tamiya 1/48 Bf-109E-3
I started building this to be marked with the kit decals but a photo on the web blew me away.
This is more of a study in interpreting B&W colors than being correct so this is my take right or wrong. I messed up placing the wing [...]
