[A Kestrel (prototype) for a Knave]

I'm all eyes! I am considering taking the plunge back into modelling with the old 1/72 P1127. And I had the old 1/24 Harrier back in the day.

[Miles Trainers]

Sweet builds, and very nicely photographed. Thank you for posting.

Thank you! I assumed it was based on careful research. I wonder what causes that.

[1:48 EE Canberra T17A]

Lovely build - I'm intrigued by the band of heavy weathering aft of the cockpit and the streaking from the jet intakes...

[C-17A Globemaster III ANIGRAND 1/72]

You had me at the cockpit: I just want to go for an intercontinental ride on one of these things now.

[Here I am. Rock you like a hurricane (are you ready, baby?) The Airfix Hurricane 1/24]

A fellow fencist! Do you go to to comps? I'm thinking of giving Bristol men's foil a go

[Armstrong Whitworth Whitley GR. Mk.VII]

I was struck by the underside shot: very tidy result and unexpected too!

[Oct. 1946 ... all that`s left!--------Pictures added !]

Masterful result; so much to be impressed with, but I'll just ask one question. How did you do all the teeny-tiny autumn leaves?

[Nostalgia, it's not what it used to be...]

Wow! What a brilliant project! I'm surprised I've missed it all this time, but will be checking in from time to time. Love the nostalgia, obviously, and the nicely defined aesthetic you bring to the whole enterprise. Those bagged Wildcats take me straight back to HE Figgures on Lymington High Street.

[Air Cadets 1/72 T21 Sedbergh - Finally finished!]

Gorgeous models. Makes me almost wish I'd been an air cadet. Also makes me want to go and see what plans are available for balsa and tissue versions

[MWP Project: Mirage IIIC "Ça va sans dire!"]

That all looks astonishing! I love the extent to which the inner structure of the aircraft is modelled and shown. Question: is that a special aluminium tape, or can you use the regular industrial tape? Does it need to be specially thin?

[Handley Page HP42/45, Contrail vacuformed 1/72]

Wow! I'm looking forward to this.

[Zlin Z-142 Flying School SNA Košice (Hobby Boss, 1/72)]

That's a sweet result! Thank you for sharing.

[1/72 Airfix Sea King HC.4]

Superb result. Something about the way you've treated the skin of it is jaw-droppingly convincing: seems to have side-stepped scale effect.

[DWI Wellington Airfix 1/72]

Awesome conversion, and very nicely realised.

[C-47 Dakota TuAF - 1/72 - Airfix (Italeri mold)]

Nice finish! I can't tell what scale it is.

 

[Norris Packard's Efreet - My custom variant!]

I had to look twice at the photo to work out if it was a cartoon or model, so from my point of view you have achieved your objective. I like the way you've used the linework and flat colours; makes a nice change from models being pushed to look like an oil painting.

[HO-OO Airfix Village Church]

Well that's a very nice build and nicely shot. I must say that Airfix's toolmakers exercised some artistic licence with the stone walls - no way was that layed in courses!

 

 

[Airfix Dornier Do217E-2 and Spitfire Mk.IX Ready for Action]

Many thanks! Top presentation of some childhood favourites.

[1/72 F8F Bearcat]

Very sleek! Great result.

[Seafire Mk47 Airfix 1/48th]

Gorgeous <sheds a tear>

[***Finished***A mojo sparker, ETiffie]

mmm... archetypal hairy stick

[D-AHFM, TUIfly Haribo GoldbAIR - 1/144 Zvezda 737-800]

Great build! A nice finish and a brilliant and classy colour scheme.

[Airspeed Oxford ; Indian Air Force ; 1/72 AZ model]

Great result! I'm a little confused about the colouring. The photo looks monochrome apart from the fin marking - are the Ashoka Chakra roundels monochrome, or are you having some photoshop fun?

[Airfix Old Blenheim - Free French - some more pictures]

Lovely result on a kit which has memories for me. I think the clarity of work round the transparencies really overcomes 'scale effect' adding the real-life icing to a rather excellent cake.
