Welcome to my blog! I'm an aircraft enthusiast, ex-airline dispatcher, published aviation author and humble 'kit assembler'. I do try and post regularly. On the bench currently - the new-tool 1:48th Airfix Jaguar GR.1

More new-tool Airfix aircraft on the bench - Harrier GR.1, EE Lightning F.2A and De Havilland 82a Tiger Moth in-box build review
School half term next week and a chance to finish these for my first of the year. The Harrier is now reasonably well advanced....
a few close-ups of the Muckleburgh Collection's GR. 3 for those wondering - as I was - how to finish the Harrier's jet nozzles and fuselage deflector plate....in the end I opted for Humbrol 53 with a black and umber oil wash
Made a start on the Lightning....
..and just picked up the lovely little new-tool Airfix DH Tiger Moth in the markings of the Tiger Club's G-ACDC which we often see overhead here in deepest Kent as it flies out of Headcorn. Much more on all these next week...

Good to see you bashing on with some of Airfix's new toolings. I'm currently making a horrible mess of the Vampire T11, which is a lovely kit (in bad hands!)
