    Avro Aldershot Mk.2 99 Squadron 1924 1/72 Scratchbuild

    That's in the works, and may even be on here in a day-or-so Fist my bump! Thanks for the views and praise all. BTW, if anyone is interested in more info on the Aldershot, check out Rex's Hanger channel on Youtube. There's also film of the thing on there BTW part 2, the Aldershot was one of...

    Avro Aldershot Mk.2 99 Squadron 1924 1/72 Scratchbuild

    I will also be posting a build thread separately soon. Just taking time to get used to this new device! Story time. The Aldershot was the first heavy bomber designed for the RAF post WWI, and carried a bomb-load of 2000 lbs, comparable to the Vimy's 2500!. Only fifteen-or-so were built...

    Avro Aldershot Mk.2 99 Squadron 1924 1/72 Scratchbuild

    Oh, and just for comparison So, there's the Contrail Vacform Hawker Horsely (which I shall be posting pics of in due course) and the Matchbox Heyford For a single-engine heavy-bomber, the Aldershot is HUGE!

    Avro Aldershot Mk.2 99 Squadron 1924 1/72 Scratchbuild

    Well, it's been a minute since I've posted anything, crappy intraweb and inability to upload pics and all, but that doesn't mean I haven't been busy building. So, here for you delectation, is my entirely scratchbuilt, except for the Aeroclub Vickers K and Scarff Ring, Avro Aldershot (Well, the...

    AS 42 Sahraiana

    Looks pretty damn fine to me, especially with the low-key 'used' look So often you see real 'chip-fests' in representations of Western Desert vehicles; a look that rarely appears in photos of the real thing

    They won't, ner... Hmm... I've created a monster Again

    Blooming Migs Blooming Build Rules

    To paraphrase the Four Yorkshiremen, 'oh, I dream of full fibre broadband!' Still, moving on

    Blooming Migs Blooming Build Rules

    Using their broadband you mean? Neither near no, but thanks for the thought. BTW I use a camera, not a smartphone. In fact, I own no mobile in any way, shape or form

    Blooming Migs Blooming Build Rules

    So many Migs (30 different -21s, and counting...) I have so little time... and no way to upload pictures with my crappy broadband

    AS 42 Sahraiana

    Late to the party VERY nice so far. Must get around to my two 28mm jobs, including one in pink... Sorry, 'Amaranth Red' Never noticed the plethora of little handles all over the shop before, but I suppose they make sense for all the tie-downs

    Airfix 1/72 Beaufort

    Even since reading Arthur Aldridge's account of Beaufort ops in the Med, I keep thinking about getting this kit, even if it doesn't fit with anything else in my stash. This has turned out so well I'm tempted Again!

    You can't park there mate!

    72nd? This is 72nd!? Good grief

    Latest Acquisitions (2026)

    Apologies for no photos, I still can't upload as yet Just received the Italeri re-issue of the old Supermodel CANT Z.1007, and it IS just a re-issue. Unlike the upgraded Z.506 and SM.81, which had interior detail added and inscrbed panel lines (even where the real S.81 doesn't have them!), the...

    FROG 1/72 de Havilland DH 60 g Gypsy Moth

    Well, I did not know that. Every other Ukrainian model company I've experienced have been pretty damn good Slava Ukrana! Nothing wrong with the detail or subject matter of AModel stuff, I praise them like I should, but construction leaves a lot to be desired. Have they never heard of locating...

    FROG 1/72 de Havilland DH 60 g Gypsy Moth

    Tempting, but the same markings for 601 are in the AModel Metal Moth kit. So the kit has alternative parts for the 60M? Now I AM iterested as the two AModel kitsI've got are the Genet Moth and the 'M' Metal Moth and I think I'd rather build this old kit than face another of these 'difficult'...

    Westland Lynx - Matchbox - 1:72 scale

    Nice Every time I see a Lynx modelled I think 'how easy would it be to do one from the Oasis video' And then I look at my stash and get better

    FROG 1/72 de Havilland DH 60 g Gypsy Moth

    Now, you've done an inspirational job on this old bird! If I didn't already have the AModel Gypsy Moth for my RAF silver wings set, I'd think about getting one of these to start an Amy Johnson/Mollison collection! Maybe I'll just stick to converting my FROG Westland PV6 to a service Wallace
