    DaveCov's Airfix 1/72 Fiat G.50 (A01046V)

    My build of the Airfix 1/72 Fiat G.50 (A01046V): Not a wonderful kit and one I struggled with for all sorts of reasons. It has been painted with a hairy stick, and was an OOB build apart from the Finnish decals that came from SBS Model's Fiat G.50 in Finnish Service (D72032) set...

    DaveCov's Airfix 1/600 Graf Spee (04211-0)

    My build of the Airfix 1/600 Graf Spee (04211-0) Unbelievably, I started this build in the months before I set up The Airfix Tribute Forum in April 2006! It has languished on my Shelf of Doom for over 17 years until I resumed it's build three weeks ago! An OOB build apart from the replacing of...

    A New Arthritis Hell

    I have been suffering from Osteoarthritis since the late 80's and it causes pain in my back, knees and hands. Unfortunately, over the past few months I have been struggling more than usual and it was confirmed today at hospital that I also have Rheumatoid Arthritis which is playing havoc with my...

    DaveCov's Airfix HO/OO White Half-Track M3 (61313-8)

    My build of the Airfix HO/OO White Half-Track M3 (61313-8) A very old (1979) boxing of this kit, the decals were very difficult to apply due to their age but I was determined to use them. For some obscure reason, in the Eighties Airfix removed the M3's Tilt and the Red Cross decals...

    DaveCov's Revell 1/72 Challenger 1 (03183)

    My Revell 1/72 Challenger 1 (03183) with ExtraTech photo-etch. I actually built it many years ago but never got around to posting pictures so here they are: This is one of my favourite builds but looking back at these pictures, I wish I had filled the stowage boxes. Never mind. Dave

    DaveCov's Airfix 1/144 Boeing 314 Clipper (04172)

    My build of the Airfix 1/144 Boeing 314 Clipper (04172) It was built OOB although I removed the rivets and scratch-built a stand for it. The upper fuselage observation windows "blob" missing from the kit so I had to scratch that too. Decals were excellent and went on very well. It...

    My build of the Airfix 1/72 Mitsubishi A6M2b-21 'Zero' (A01005) A straight forward OOB build which was brush painted and given slight weathering. It was built for Andy's WWII Japanese Aircraft GB and you can read about the build here. Dave

    DaveCov's Airfix 1/72 Boeing B-29 Superfortress (07001)

    My build of the Airfix 1/72 Boeing B-29 Superfortress (07001) I removed the rivets, used Airwaves PE in the cockpit and scratch-built the radome. A set of white metal undercarriage legs were from Scale Aircraft Conversions (72082) and aftermarket wheels were from Radial Engines and Wheels 72...

    DaveCov's Airfix 1/72 Hawker Siddeley Harrier GR.1 (A03003)

    My build of the Airfix 1/72 Hawker Siddeley Harrier GR.1 (A03003) An OOB build which I decided to brush-paint instead of airbrushing. Dave

    Avis 1/72 Bristol Type 72 Racer (BX 72030)

    My build of the Avis 1/72 Bristol Type 72 Racer (BX 72030) Another cute Avis kit. Not the easiest thing to construct as the fit of parts is awful and the undercarriage components cannot be fitted in such a way as to resemble the original's. Dave

    DaveCov's Aoshima 1/700 IJN Seaplane Carrier Chitose (00123)

    Unbelievably, although I am in my Sixties, this is the first time I have ever made a Japanese warship. I will be building the Aoshima 1/700 IJN Seaplane Tender Chitose (00123). IJN Chitose was launched in 1936 as a seaplane tender and her sister ship IJN Chiyoda was launched the following year...

    DaveCov's Revell 1/25 1976 Ford Torino (07038) - Starsky & Hutch "Striped Tomato" - Jakko's Movie/TV GB I hadn't realised that this was the area to post pictures of completed GB builds so I thought I had better get mine posted. This is my build of the Revell 1/25 1976 Ford Torino (07038) -...

    DaveCov's "Goldfinger" Doyusha 1/24 Aston Martin DB5 007 (07-1-2800)

    Having completed one iconic car for this GB already, I will be building one more - the Doyusha 1/24 Aston Martin DB5 007 Goldfinger (07-1-2800): This boxing comes with two familiar figures: A couple of years ago, I built a 1/24 Doyusha Aston Martin DB5 but that boxing didn't come with the...

    HobbyBoss 1/72 Mikoyan MiG-15bis Fagot (80263)

    Having suffered a bad case of modeller's block last year I decided to buy some relatively cheap and cheerful kits to knock out every now and then. One of them is the HobbyBoss 1/72 Mikoyan MiG-15bis Fagot (80263) that has been built OOB. A nice little build that I thoroughly...
