Morning all, have been stricken with a flu like bug that is going around (wiped out half the office) so not much modelling done over the weekend I have also currently lost the mojo for the Tiger II :sad-face: - sorry Was feeling slightly better last night and picked this vintage kit from the...

OK, So, popped along to hobbycraft and had a little look through. I considered the starter kit for the BF109E-3 with paints, but the E-4 box kit looked like it would have a little bit more detail called out for paint as it wasn't trying to hold the whole thing down to 4 colours, and I thought...

Airfix Engineer kit a simple kit but incredibly enjoyable.....been a while since i enjoyed building a kit as much as this one and its powered by a couple of AA batteries.......theres noise and the spark plugs 'fire' and things go up and down and in and out and...

An improvement for sure over my last one, but the rocket rack on the right wing is off-skew and the paintwork is still heavy. However, this is probably the last hand-painted model as I now have an H&S airbrush. The decals are definitely better because I waited between coats of clear and putting...

I built this a few years ago, and converted it to a RNAS naval Pup which involved cutting a hole in the upper wing and mounting a Lewis gun ahead of the cockpit. Apart from adding some cockpit detail I re-skinned the fuselage with 5 thou styrene sheet and corrected a few of the kit's...

Humber Super Snipe, Airfix, 1/32nd scale Monty's Humber this was new tool back in 1973......i can remember doing it at some point in the late 70s and its been on my list of wanting another go at for nostalgia reasons ever since i took up this modelmaking lark again at least i shouldnt...

My first Airfix kit that I build along side the Finnish Skiers. I live near New York City, so was quite pleased to see the option of an aircraft flying of the Interepid. Don't usually do post WWII aircraft, so it was something of a change of pace for me.

Hi guys. This is Lucy's second rally car. With her last I sprayed the body for her and helped her lay the decals. This time she is hand painting the lot after I have spry primed the parts for her so it more responsibility for her! Masking and painting the roof: 20160429_093909 by dougie...

DELETED! Sorry! I've doubled up!

Hi all Here is another model completed while ago. It is the Airfix 1/72 new tooling model. It was a really good surprise to build this kit. The level of detail is very good and the parts fit together nicely, well done Airfix! My only comment is in regards the decal instructions, it was...

BF 110 C-4/B II/Schnellkampfgeschwader 210 Operation "Barbarossa", Eastern front, 1941 Hi all! Here is another of my models. It is the new tooling BF110 from Airfix in 1/72. Very nice model and it was a pleasure to build it. I was very impressed with the decals quality. Very well...

After two days, I finished my first model. The Mitsubishi Zero Starter Kit by Airfix. Building this aeroplane has been an amazing experience and I learnt many things, such as how awful the pots they give you for the paint are to open, as well as how I never want to touch one of those stupid...
