Dave W's Revell 1/48 Tornado ADV Saudi Air Force
I've decided to build this one first. With the Revell 1/32 GR1 to follow if I have time. It's the new Revell 1/48 ADV and looks to be a very nice kit. From 1988 to 1995 I was employed by British Aerospace as a crew chief on Royal Saudi Air Force Tornado's at Dhahran on the Gulf coast. So I...- Dave W

Dave W's Completed Greek F4E
Finally got this one finished. I had hoped to really go to town on the weathering. But it didnt look right with the lack of engraved panel lines. So i wiped a lot of it off. The decals i used are made by a Polish company called 'Model Maker Decals' and they are superb. Very thin and strong with...- Dave W

Zoukie-Mura 1/48 F4S Phantom
I bought this kit last weekend for £64.99 .And after examining the contents of the large box, I think you get a lot of kit for your money. Moulding is flawless and details very sharp. Engraving to my eyes is just right. Unlike the recent Academy kit with its one piece fuselage,this one is more...- Dave W

Airfix 1/48 Blackburn Buccaneer
This is the old Airfix Buccaneer and at the moment it's the only choice if you want one in this scale. The fuselage is split horizontally and the halves in my kit were a bit warped. So I had to glue the halves together a section at a time.Despite this, I really enjoyed building the kit. I...- Dave W

So Airfix must have forgot to put them in.So I emailed them yesterday. And the...- Dave W

Dave W's 1/48 Greek F4E
I will be using the old Italeri 1/48 F4E that I've already got in my stash for this build. The kits not bad,but it does have raised panel lines. I might do a bit of rescribing if in in the mood for it. I've also got a pair of Aires resin ejection seats that I intended to use for the other...- Dave W

Dave W's Matchbox 1/32 spitfire 'A classic from the seventies '
I started this 10 months ago and finally got round to finishing it. It needed quite a bit of filler and a lot of work. It's not perfect but I'm happy with it. I built it out of box including the 35 year old decals. The glue on the stencils showed thru the clear carrier film. So I floated the...- Dave W

I've got a few extras for it.The Mask set will make masking the turrets easier. And the brass gun barrels are a big improvement on the over sized...- Dave W
