Nick's Airfix 1/48 Spitfire Mk 1 for the 2025 BoB GB
Well, here she is Guys. An altogether painless build of a nice little kit from Airfix. The scheme is for a 602 Sqn aircraft based at RAF Westhampnett in Sussex during August 1940. The main paints used were an SMS RAF Sky on the underside with MRP Dark Earth and Dark Green on the upper surfaces...- Nicko

The Motorbike Thread
Gents, Please excuse the quality of these photos, but I took these shots at Catalunya in 2009. The first is from early in the race where Casey Stoner was still keeping with the two factory Yamahas, with the Repsol Hondas of Pedrosa and Dovizioso not far behind. The second shot was taken on the...- Nicko

Nick's Arma Hobby 1/48 Hurricane IIC for the Paint it Black Group Build.
Here she is all done. A lovely kit that certainly deserved better than my wingy-thing skills can manage. Went together very easily and would have been nicer if I hadn't dropped the gunsight down into the fuselage when trying to fit it. Its still stuck in the bowels there somewhere..... Paint...- Nicko

Latest Acquisitions (2025)
When I saw this book, I had to get a copy. There's some great inspiration in here and I have some association with the place. Back in the early/mid 80s I got on site at Bentwaters to replace a crankshaft oil seal on a road plane that was being used as part of a job to resurface some of the... -
Aoshima 1/12 Kawasaki Zephyr
Here is my build of Aoshima’s 1/12 scale Kawasaki Zephyr. The Zephyr series were introduced in the early 1990s and Kawasaki were pretty much the first manufacturer to start selling what are now generally called ‘Retro style’ bikes. Indeed, the general architecture of these bikes was very much...- Nicko

Nick's 1/72 F86D Sabre - Paul T's Vintage Airfix Group Build
Well, if it weren't for Paul T organising this Group Build, its very likely this one would have been languishing in the stash forever more. This was considered a very good kit in its day and it went together very nicely. Base paint for the metallic finish was a Tamiya LP colour with a supporting...- Nicko

Nick's oo scale Leopard Tank - Paul T's vintage Airfix Group Build
This was a relatively straightforward build of the old Airfix Leopard 1. Aside from some decal trouble which haunted me to the end with some rather nasty silvering I'm satisfied with this one. Main paint is Tamiya Nato Green. Thanks to Paul T for getting the group build together otherwise this...- Nicko

After a dive into the stash, I found a couple of contenders.... As Tim is already doing the Defiant, I shall start with the Spit. Sorry, bit boring I know..... Nick.- Nicko

Nick's Heller 1/24 Fergusen Tractor - LeeW's Four Wheels on my Wagon GB
Here she is all done. A relatively straightforward build that took a fair bit of effort in the painting and became somewhat difficult to handle towards the end. The main paint was a rather dark Zero Paints Fergusen Grey with a supporting cast of mainly Vallejo acrylics and a dabble with a few...- Nicko

What flew over your house today... or yesterday... v2.0
Had a bit of Jet Provost action this past few days. Unfortunately only the usual quickly snapped phone pics and they were not so close by the time I had it ready. Looked like they were practising for a display or something...... Nick -

Hope you feel able to get going again soon Peter. I snapped this for you a little while ago....... Nick -
What flew over your house today... or yesterday... v2.0
We've had a lot of Chinook action this week, going on until quite late in the evenings too. Bit of underslung load training for 16 Air Assault Bde I would guess. Apologies for the quickly grabbed phone pics. I missed the one where they had a 6-wheeler Pinzgauer dangling.... Nick -
Latest Acquisitions (2025)
I had a birthday this week and did manage a couple of modelling related items....... Firstly, my Daughter bought me this: I have an original 1967 Honda Z50M so to get the 50th Anniversary bike in 1/12 is very nice. Its pretty small though, even in this scale. My Mum gave me some money so I... -
Italeri (Protar) 1/9 Yamaha Tenere - Paris Dakar winner
Well, I'm calling it done and its been put on a high shelf in 'the model room' in the hope that nobody can look too closely and its less likely to get bits knocked off it. I started this one on 15th March last year and initially it was an exercise in attempting to re-spoke the wheels to an...- Nicko
