Airfix is a brand with a rich history, one that is very closely associated with the Spitfire and it’s ever growing presence in the modelling world. Though newer tools of this kit have come to pass in recent years I was very curious about the edition with my favourite box art. So….what do we get?…
Small but Mighty; Boscombe Down Aviation Collection Model Show 2022
Boscombe Down Aviation Collection (BDAC) is somewhere I’ve heard about but never been too. Located closer to my family than myself, it’s somewhere I always said “I need to go there” at some point. When the opportunity arose to go from a relatives home to there (an hour instead of four hour drive) I decided…
Airfix Junior Phantom
The Airfix Phantom, nigh, the entire Airfix Junior range is just so 1990s it hurts. From it’s colour palette, marketing style, and comic rear box panels – it was a product very unique for ‘models’. As a child when this came out it really made an impact as a range I remember – though no-one…
KP Models – Avia S-199 [1/72]
The below article is a summarisation of t the above video. I’m trailing this as I am struggling to make long form content and do these as well. The video is a much nicer way to enjoy this content, so try that if you haven’t already! The Avia S-1999 is a Frankenstein; a plane that…
Bristol Blenheim – the Ski Savvy Bomber – Ark Models/Eastern Express 1/72
The Bristol Blenheim came from a civil contest to create the worlds fastest airliner. It was designed for grace and speed. At it’s time it definitely succeeded. With a roaring 30s design and engines that purr, the Blenheim was a defining moment for Bristol. Though the aircraft itself may not be the most loved it…
Canadair CT-114 “Snowbird” Tutor | Hobbycraft 1/72
The CT-114 was one of the last projects indigenous to the Canadian military aviation industry. During the age were every nation wanted their industry to guarantee their own independence should another nation fall or political stance change. Canada is a nation that, I think, most neglect to think of when discussing indigenous aircraft. The politics…
Polish Cavalry | First to Fight | 1/72
Cavalry are massively forgotten in World War 2. Although not significant to the degree of tanks or aircraft, they were utilised in Europe from the beginning until the end of the war . This set from First to Fight allows you to make some Polish Cavalry from when they defended against the German Aggressors in…
CT-4 Airtrainer ‘Red Checkers’ in 1/72 | Tazman Models
Indigenous aircraft have always been fascinating to me. I’ve always loved looking at home grown unique designs that are at odds with the trends of the world. They tend to be designed with significant restrictions in budget and equipment (such as engines or avionics). New Zealand had one of these aircraft, which was made by…
Scale Model World 2021
Normally I’d write an article for each post, but due to some increased workload I needed to take a step back. Whilst I am still posting weekly on Youtube and now live streaming there, I had stopped posting my weekly articles. I am now back to weekly (bar 2 videos going out in the next…
Polish 7TP – Defence of Warsaw – First to Fight 1/72
For some reason the defence of Poland in my mind was an air affair due to the nature of the German Blitzkrieg. I had a massive gap in my personal knowledge banks and was unaware of the technology used by the Polish forces defending against Germany outside of their airforce. However, whilst browsing my local…
