Doing this one: am going to attempt a painted chequer-board/striped nose :-o

welcome aboard....?

Vient d'atterrir, Orly 1940

The "Dear Leader" inspects the tail pipes of his MiG-17s, which have been hurriedly polished.

Castle Archdale, Lough Erne early- to mid-1944. Perhaps after the sinking of U-625.

stencilled using the excellent "Foxbots".

Air Station A-59, (in what became Cormeilles-en-Vexin airport), NW of Paris, winter: Jan 1945.

Airfix I

Finished by the "shape make glorious culture from Zaphod number 1 Workers’ factory of Hoveringham’sk’ya!" [with apologie...

Landed, Kluzov. The end of the Great Patriotic War.

Barrels from Air Master

Just imagine what could have been, Mr. Healey, (useless bean-counter)

Made in the 1980's when at University I believe. All Humbrol enamels, brush painted.

Decals were (a) accurate and (b) correct roundel colours compared to Brengun’s. Xtradecals needed quite a bit of Mr Mark...

It will make for quite a specimen once built. Displaying it will be an art too.

Best 190 at this scale. No debate

Done in 1998 I think, using Aeromaster acrylics and my first foray into 'weathering'

Landed. For myself, a quick build. Hasegawa's 1990s moulds still pass the muster, and this builds into a little fighter...

L9965 “T” Unknown Squadron. Somewhere in the Mediterranean. 1942.

Cuts a purposeful shape starboard side. I was surprised how many 21’s took US planes out, the ratio of kills higher than...

Spooky in her position as spider web developer in <<le Studio>>. (She’s too big to put in the cabinets)

Revell B.I

Dedicated to P.O. (Edward) Jack Coleman , No.54 Squadron, Hornchurch, Essex, U.K. July 7th 1940. Additionally, to the th...

Rush: my inspiration. Them recording 'Permanent Waves', c. 1979-80

Scratch-built the pitot and added some decals out of the spares-box

All ready for the close. It’s difficult to know why Tamiya re-tooled their Mark 1 recently- this tool is superb!

I remember being so gratified that I managed to paint yellow 23 on her.

Cockpit left open to access details...( a minor issue with the "45" whilst gently removing kabuki means we have to prete...

This Squadron attacked targets in Holland, and lost many

Finals: last shot of varnish, and despite the dusting some small incursions from the spiders in my studio- darn them!!

Pleasant port profile view: another coat of matt varnish and I’m saying Dornier Do-ne!

love her lines from this angle....

when I've got a minute, I'll replace the hopelessly out-of-scale wires with Uschi's rigging.

if I'm honest, I can't remember the interior resin a/market, but it did liven up the interior side walls and seats

So, I thought the Tu-128 was big....

1984, at University: long, long, ago...in the days before airbrushing, acrylics and 'pre-shading'

I made this in the mid-90's, brush-painted using Humbrol enamels, (I know the green is now the wrong shade) - but, still...

A joy to make!

sleek and purposeful....if it looks good, it will fly well!

Replica of the original. Will adorn the wall eventually
