Accurate Miniatures 1/48 A-36 Apache
This aircraft was an early Allison engined forerunner to the Mustang and was used for ground attack.I bought this kit when it first came out,nearly 20 years ago.And it's languished in my stash ever since.So I thought it was about time I built it.Italeri have just released one of these and I...- Dave W

Italeri 1/48 Sea Hurricane
This is one of Italeri's newer mouldings and is a very nicely done kit.The cockpit is well detailed with a two part canopy to give the option of open or closed.I started it in march last year.But one evening,after a few drinks,i managed to get glue on the windscreen.So I put it away and got on...- Dave W

Thought I would build this next.The wife got me some resin seats and an Eduard coloured PE set for the cockpit for Xmas.Made a start assembling the intakes and glueing them to the fuselage halves.A few gaps to fill when the glue has set.I then assembled some of the cockpit and attached some PE...- Dave W

Completed-Hobbycraft 1/48 Hawker Sea Fury
I picked this kit up for a fiver at the Newark Show.Its an old kit with not many parts.But it was a lot of fun to build.I wanted to do it as a Korean War Fleet Air Arm aircraft and luckily I had an 'Almark' decal sheet that I bought many years ago.Unfortunately,the blue on the roundels on the...- Dave W

Completed - Roden 1/48 Gloster Sea Gladiator
Finally completed this model.Im not totally happy with it,but then I never am.I messed up the paint on the top wing. So I had to respray that and use some roundels from my spares.The rigging was hard to get straight because I used thick fishing line.Ive tried weathering it a bit as these...- Dave W

1/48 Sea Gladiator
This is my next build.Something a bit different to the F15E Ive just finished.The kit is by Roden and this is the first one of their kits Ive built.Some of the parts have a bit of flash on them and on others the sprue attaches to the exterior surface of the part.So a bit of careful sprue removal...- Dave W

Dave W's Tiger Meet completed.
Finally finished the F15E.This kit is Revell at their best in my opinion.A really nice kit to build with no fit issues.The only problem I had was getting the decals to settle into the engraved detail.Used Microsol and Microset,but it wasn't enough with some of them.So a bit of silvering here...- Dave W

Dave W's Tiger Meet F15E
This is my kit for this Sig.A work mate gave it to me.He bought it to build with his young son.But the son lost interest after removing some of the parts from the sprues.Ive had a good look and it all seems to be there.There were a few toy soldiers and Lego bricks in the box,but I gave those...- Dave W

Phantom weathering
Can't work out if its bare metal or grey primer showing in the photos of weathered Phantoms.Looks like bare metal in the one below.Also looks like he paint has been touched up around the back cockpit with light grey.Anyone got any thoughts about this?.- Dave W
