Airfix 1/32 Bond Bug (M10C) - Restoration
I recently started a restoration of an Airfix 1/32 Bond Bug (M10C). It had been hanging around for almost eighteen months and I thought it time to get working on it. I had spent years looking for an Airfix Bond Bug to add to the stash but was unable to find an unbuilt one. However, I managed to...- davecov

Airfix 1/144 SR.N4 (09171)
Seeing as other hovercraft have been put in with ships and boats, I will do the same with my build of the Airfix 1/144 SR.N4 (09171) This build has fought me all the way. Ill-fitting skirt parts, flexible decks and bulkheads, ill-fitting roof and wrongly printed decals all...- davecov

Heller 1/24 Citroen 15 CV (80763) "Clowning around"
Chris, there is a story behind this build and a reason why this particular car. I was building a standard Heller Citroen CV15 Traction Avant a couple of months ago and I kept knocking off the mudguards! I remarked at the time that it reminded me of one of those circus cars that had bits that...- davecov
