Welcome to my blog! I'm an aircraft enthusiast, ex-Air France ground crew, published aviation author and humble 'kit assembler'. As my friend Mark says, 'I just like models'. I attend a couple of clubs regularly and do try and post here as often as I can. Still on the bench is the new-tool 1:48th Airfix Jaguar GR.1

new 1:32nd scale Revell Spitfire IXc - build review (4)
we have had a bit of a torrid time here in the UK with a week of +30 C temps in Kent - far too hot for modelling. Fortunately we are close to the sea so the breeze has helped a little, but even that got hot! Not much progress on the Spitfire, but at least it has some paint on it. The first 32nd build on this blog ..and to be honest it is hard work - every flaw, whether mine or the kit's - magnified. Picked up a cheap copy of Brendon Deere's beautiful book 'Spitfire - return to flight' at the Kent Battle of Britain museum in Hawkinge, so now thinking of finishing the model in the colours of Al Deere's PV 270 and doing my own painted-on markings, especially as the kit decals are so poor. (the codes are green!). We'll see..
