AIRFIX 1:32 DE DIETRICH 1902
Tooled originally in c.1957, this boxed version from those moulds released in 1974. Parts fit where they touched! Lots of swearing and clamping!
Quick build over 6 days.
I do wish a high tech version of 1:32 vehicles existed to compliment [...]

Wingnut Wings Albatros B.II
Hi... hope you're all well, guys... :-).
My next offering is quite a challenging and delicate kit, but certainly an eye-catcher once complete. For some time I've wanted to do a 'wood effect' finish and try to replicate the linen-covered [...]

LFG Roland D.II, Pegasus 1/72
I’ve liked the look of the Roland D.II ever since I first saw it in Kenneth Munson’s "Fighters, Attack, and Training Aircraft, 1914-19" back in the late 60s. It wasn’t a particularly successful fighter despite its good [...]
