DaveCov's "Starsky & Hutch Striped Tomato" - Revell 1/25 1976 Ford Torino (07038)
I realise that "iconic" is sometimes over-used but having just binge-watched all four series of Starsky and Hutch, I just had to build the "iconic" Ford Torino, also known as the "striped tomato". The Revell 1/25 1976 Ford Torino (07038): The parts are moulded in a rather brittle plastic of...- davecov

Avis 1/72 Short S.1 Cockle (BX 72031)
My build of the Avis 1/72 Short S.1 Cockle (BX 72031) The Avis kit provides both civilian and Air Ministry versions of the single prototype. Short didn't proceed further due to it's poor performance. In 1925, the rudder, fin and tailplanes were modified followed by a loan period with the Air...- davecov

Airfix 1/76 Tiger I Tank (A01308) - Old Tooling - A Tale of Two Tiggies
My builds of the Airfix 1/76 Tiger I Tank (A01308) Last July I got a bad attack of "Modeller's Block" and stopped modelling completely. It wasn't until December 2022 that I dared to make a kit once more. I decided that I would do a quick OOB of the ancient '60's Airfix 1/76 Tiger I but as I...- davecov

Apologies in advance for the boasting but my partner Aileen's son-in-law, Kyle, has become well known on the Highland Games circuit up here in Scotland and beyond. This Daily Record article explains quite a bit about his progress in the Highland Games. I took this photo a few years ago but it... -
Spitfire GB 2022 - DaveCov's 1/72 Airfix Spitfire Mk IX - Completed
My build of the Airfix 1/72 Supermarine Spitfire Mk IX (02081) I hadn't realised that this was the place to post pictures of completed builds and had only put them in my build thread. I can't believe that this is only the second time that I have ever made this kit which was...- davecov

Matchbox 1/72 Messerschmitt 410 (PK-113)
My build of the Matchbox 1/72 Messerschmitt 410 (PK-113) It was built for the Britmodeller Matchbox 50th Anniversary Group Build. As a bit of fun, I didn't use any paint, filler, plastic card or aftermarket bits so that it could be built as Matchbox intended - at least like the...- davecov

Matchbox 1/72 Hawker Fury (PK-1)
My build of the Matchbox 1/72 Hawker Fury (PK-1). Like my Gladiator, I left off rigging as I do have dexterity problems that may have led to the Fury getting a flight test into the Scottish Borders countryside if I had tried to rig it. As this was an OOB build, I didn't do anything with the...- davecov

My build of the Airfix 1/144 BAC Aerospatiale Concorde (Air France) (SK700) Following on from my BOAC Concorde, this build is of a red-stripe 1970s Air France boxing. The decals were not fit for purpose so I printed my own. The white plastic of the old kit was a joy to work with...- davecov

Airfix 1/144 BAC Aerospatiale Concorde (BOAC) (05170-3)
My build of the Airfix 1/144 BAC Aerospatiale Concorde (BOAC) (05170-3) Basically, a "what-if" because Airfix had based the kit on an artist's impression and contains errors that I didn't correct. It was a 1970s boxing with decals that were shot so I used a set from a 2021 Vintage Classic...- davecov
