Because I don't want to rush my current build,I thought I would make a start on this in between spraying different colours on the Maryland.This is a new kit from Trumpeter.The only other injected plastic kit in this scale I'm aware of was produced by Classic Airframes many years ago.I haven't...- Dave W

New Airfix 1/48 Spitfire MkVb
Got this new Airfix release in town today.Looks a very nice kit.The cockpit detail is finer than their other spitfires.The engraved panel lines look just right to me and the Canopy sections are thin and very clear.There are three different canopies and windscreens to choose from and a choice of...- Dave W

These pictures were emailed to me at work by one of the Crew Chiefs.No info as to where they were taken or what happened.Its obviously a FedEx aircraft and looks to me like a jacking accident.Mustn't laugh but oh dear!.Some ones in the brown stuff!.- Dave W

I spent 7 years working for British Aerospace as a Crew Chief on a Saudi Tornado Squadron (no.29) at King Abdul Aziz airbase,Dhahran.These days I work on much bigger aeroplanes that carry people instead of missiles.Before Saudi I was a Phantom Phitter in the RAF.Not sure this qualifies as a... -

Dave W's E.E Lightning - Completed.
Anyone who has followed this build will know it's been an 'Emotional Rollercoaster',a 'Journey','What doesn't kill you makes you stronger' and half a hundred other modern crap sayings.All problems have been of my own making of course.The kit itself is superb and didn't give me any problems.I...- Dave W

Completed - 1/48 Boulton-Paul Defiant
I finished this one last night.Despite it being a limited run multi media type kit it went together well and didn't give me any real problems.Ive not done any weathering so it looks pristine.But I'm really pleased with it.It's finished as a mk1 on the strength of no.264 squadron in June 1940...- Dave W

Alclad Experiment.
I thought this might be of interest to some.I'm about to paint my Lightning with Alclad.The fin and fuselage spine need to be painted white first for ease of masking.I was worried that Alclad black primer would react with the Vallejo White primer I intend using for the white areas.So I sprayed...- Dave W

Airfix 1/48 TSR2 completed
As the tittle says,I've finished this one.The real aircraft got quite dirty during flight testing.So I've dirtied it up a bit.The highlighted panel lines probably aren't to everyone's taste.But on this model I like it.I could have made a better job of the canopies by spraying them when attached...- Dave W
