Here are my 2 'Dragons in the Valley' for this Trainers Group build.

Both are 1/48 Scale Airfix Hawks with resin interiors and decals from Model Alliance and Xtradecal.

XX172 2001 and XX195 from 1 TWU, (63 Sqn) RAF Brawdy 1986.

The WIP thread is below and there are some more pictures at the end.

The build was inspired by my Daughter at University in Wales and my son asking why I never build 2 models at the same time. So I did and now they have 1 each. Building 2 worked out well as they are basically identical up to the final paint scheme. I don't think I'll adopt it long term though.

 

Thanks to Rob, Col and Jockney for Hosting

Here is my Israeli Vultee Valiant...the WiP is here.  Despite discrepancies regarding colour, I like it and it looks good on the shelf next to other early IAF aircraft.

May I present my Airfix 1/72 “Tucan” Tucano T1. 

All brush painted with Humbrol enamel paints, and a tail sitter despite the nose being rammed full of weights.

Here is the old Airfix Alpha Jet in Qinetiq colours. Awful decals and poor finishing on my part, but here she is in all her glory.

KP 1/72 Mig-15 Uti in DDR markings, not the best kit I have built with not great results, but here she is in all her glory.

Just realised the underside of the fuselage by the jet pipe is cracked from when I dropped it. D'oh!
