    Brace of Mk.I Hurricanes - 1/72 Airfix & AZ Model

    Soon as I saw the scheme in my RA War Prizes book I had to do one. I mean, it really does look very different to most other Hurris

    Brace of Mk.I Hurricanes - 1/72 Airfix & AZ Model

    The new Airfix kits are often so good they practically fall together, or in this case, a short sharp push to get a feed pipe to click into place in the u/c bay. This was a 'bitsa' build, as we ended up with leftover parts from three-and-a-half Mk.Is someone was 'spares and repairs' selling on...

    Brace of Mk.I Hurricanes - 1/72 Airfix & AZ Model

    Br.2337 was a licence-built Mk.I for the Royal Yugoslav Airforce. Seeing some action during the German Invasion, this 'plane was later part of a batch of 118 aircraft 'gifted' to the italians, and flown extensively at the Regia Aeronautica airbase at Guidonia, after being repainted in a...

    Italeri 1/72 Macchi mc202 Folgore

    I really must get around to at least starting one of the eight different 202/205s I've got waiting, so I'll be watching this progress with interest

    DH 88 Chiffchaff....... Airfix 1/72

    Yep, I'm right with you on this one A fast agent delivery 'plane? You've been reading my mind... Maybe if he'd been aboard one of these, the bad guys wouldn't have intercepted Leslie Howerd

    At what point is your "stash" getting out of hand?

    Technically, it's only a shop if you've got more than one of any particular kit by any particular manufacturer... Umm, I have eight Trumpeter F7-IIs. And four Italeri Caproni Ca.313s. And two Italeri Savoia S,82s... Okay, the six Warlord A13 Cruisers I've got are all completed so they don't...

    At what point is your "stash" getting out of hand?

    Contrail 1/72 Hawker Horsley Mk.II

    So, here's the next of my silver biplanes, RAF 1918-1939! And it's a vacform kit! A, relatively, straightforward build, but it was a lot of work. Not as much as the Aldershot though, obvs! The Hawker Horsley was designed to Day Bomber Spec. 26/23 in 1925. The Mk.II was of composite wood and...

    Chris's 1/144 Ye-2 Conversion

    Okay, the Ye-2 (X-2) was one of several prototypes leading to the MiG-21. The Ye-4 was the first delta-wing prototype, and both flew at a Victory Day parade, resulting in the Ye-2 getting the reporting name 'Faceplate', and the Ye-4 'Fishbed' 'Fishbed' Really There are a number of detail...

    Blooming Migs Blooming Build Rules

    Correcting myself, it's the Ye-2, swept wing one, the Ye-4 the delta, the Ye-6 the actual -21 prototype To build out of these!

    28mm Armoured Car Collection

    What you can also see, in many cases, the lack of advancement. The Rolls Royce given the new Fordson chassis, the Laffley likewise being an 'upgrade'from the White AMD of 1915 As for the Morris CS9, you can see why the Guy was the prototype to the Humber armoured cars
