    Rick’s 1/72 Airfix Junkers Ju52 - a rite of passage build

    Nice one rick , being a new tooling it should be a lovely build . Still the tricky problem of putting decals over the corrugated surface detail though .

    Steve's Airfix 1/72 Mig 29A Fulcrum

    Nice start steve , going to look great in the czech scheme. I think this kit is based on the 90s Heller tooling , Airfix went through a phase of reboxing heller stuff when they were owned by the same company a while ago. Looks a decent tooling , surprised that they split the nose cone...

    Letov s16 in 1/72 KP models

    Ive done quite a few Amodel beasts too steve , this is like Tamiya compared to some of them ! One of the worst and a kit that almost beat me was the Yak 28p intercepter . I had to put it back in the box halfway through and come back to it when I had regained some resolve and finish it off ...

    Italeri 1/72 Macchi mc202 Folgore

    Well the experiment was only a partial success . The Copydex didnt affect the paint and did its job , the failure part was down to me . My blobs were very clumsy and too big , meaning when I removed them it just didnt look right - too much sand colour showing . So out with a stippling brush and...

    Letov s16 in 1/72 KP models

    A good crack at this today has seen the assembly really motor on . I glued the fuselage and wings yesterday so today I was able to sort the seams and start getting some of the struts and stuff on . The eight exhaust stubs were just moulded on pips so they were drilled out and some brass tubing...

    DaveCov's Avis 1/72 Mikoyan MiG-8 (BX 72013)

    Top work dave , this looks similar to the Amodel kits - limited run , loads of cleaning up and fettling during the build but fascinating rarely seen subject matter . Its looking great ( as great as the lovechild of a microlight and a breadvan can be ! :LOL: ) looking forward to the next update...

    Model makes.

    Theyve really been upping their game these last few years , anything tooled after about 2015 is usually really good , if you want to try one that builds well and is nicely detailed but doesnt cost a fortune try their bf 109 e-4 or Spitfire mk 1a in 1/72 . You can pick these up on ebay etc for...

    Letov s16 in 1/72 KP models

    After seeing steves ( @Steve-the-Duck ) amazing scratchbuilt Avro Aldershot , it reminded me of this aircraft . A fairly obscure subject but one that I always liked the look of , so I bit the bullet and got one . Its the ancient KP models kit , quite reasonable for a 1982 tooling . Its got a bit...
