Here is my second entry for the 2023 Karl & Andrew Soviet Wingy Thing GB, the Airfix 1/72 Yakovlev Yak-3 (02091). My thanks to them for hosting this GB. Box artwork. First manufactured by Heller in 1979, this is an Airfix boxing from 1990 as part of their "Special Edition" "World War II...

My build of the Airfix 1/72 Fiat G.50 (A01046V): Not a wonderful kit and one I struggled with for all sorts of reasons. It has been painted with a hairy stick, and was an OOB build apart from the Finnish decals that came from SBS Model's Fiat G.50 in Finnish Service (D72032) set...

Hi. This is my first time posting a build and indeed my first build for many years. Any tips and help would be very welcome. There are 2 schemes to choose from. I’m going for the USAF ‘John Glen’ version. there were 4 sprees and a clear parts spruce. I’ve put together a few pieces an tried to...

My build of the Airfix 1/600 Graf Spee (04211-0) Unbelievably, I started this build in the months before I set up The Airfix Tribute Forum in April 2006! It has languished on my Shelf of Doom for over 17 years until I resumed it's build three weeks ago! An OOB build apart from the replacing of...

My build of the Airfix 1/72 Douglas A-4B Skyhawk (A55203) A lovely little kit of a "Scooter". Dave

My build of the Airfix 1/144 Sud-Avation SE210 Caravelle (03177) It was built OOB apart from BOA Decals (BOA44120). Dave

My build of the Airfix HO/OO White Half-Track M3 (61313-8) A very old (1979) boxing of this kit, the decals were very difficult to apply due to their age but I was determined to use them. For some obscure reason, in the Eighties Airfix removed the M3's Tilt and the Red Cross decals...

My build of the Airfix 1/72 Mitsubishi A6M2b-21 'Zero' (A01005) A straight forward OOB build which was brush painted and given slight weathering. It was built for Andy's WWII Japanese Aircraft GB and you can read about the build here. Dave

My build of the Airfix 1/72 Hawker Siddeley Harrier GR.1 (A03003) An OOB build which I decided to brush-paint instead of airbrushing. Dave

My build of the Airfix 1/72 Gloster Meteor F.8 (A04064) Dave

My builds of the Airfix 1/76 Tiger I Tank (A01308) Last July I got a bad attack of "Modeller's Block" and stopped modelling completely. It wasn't until December 2022 that I dared to make a kit once more. I decided that I would do a quick OOB of the ancient '60's Airfix 1/76 Tiger I but as I...

A very gracious gift from Andy @The Smythe Meister, cheers mate Not too much detail as it seems to be the 2013 boxing of this kit before it's recent re-tool..as such it's adorned with loads of flash,(every part so far has had an encounter with the sanding pads,) and raised panel lines...(might...

I recently started a restoration of an Airfix 1/32 Bond Bug (M10C). It had been hanging around for almost eighteen months and I thought it time to get working on it. I had spent years looking for an Airfix Bond Bug to add to the stash but was unable to find an unbuilt one. However, I managed to...

My build of the Airfix 1/144 Vickers VC-10 (04026). Apologies for the poor quality photos but at least you can still see the beautiful lines of the VC-10. This was built from the tanker version of the Airfix VC-10. It was converted into a BOAC Super VC-10 using the Braz resin...

My build of the Airfix 1/72 Consolidated B-24J Liberator (05006-3), one of my "box of rivets" builds where I try to keep every single rivet! "The Dragon and His Tail" decals for B24J Liberator 44-40973, 64th Bomb Squadron, 43rd Bomb Group, August 1945 came from Xtradecal Set...

My build of the "box of rivets" Airfix 1/72 Douglas Boston III (04033) Apart from two-ton of scrap metal in the bomb bay to keep the nose down, it is an OOB brush-painted build. Dave
