Whiskey Cobra: Callsign Warrior.
It's good to realise a long awaited wish, to display one of my favourite models as I have always wanted to. Some time ago I built a 1/35 AH-1W Cobra in the markings of USMC squadron HML/A-167, I had planned to display it in a custom made display case with unit insignia, cap badge and plaque. …
US ARMY LVT (A1) Saipan 1944
Ever regretted not buying a certain model kit years ago and finding yourself wanting to build it later on in life? If you have, you will understand my desire to find the old Revell 1/35 LVT-(A1) Amtrak which came with an option to paint it in the grey-blue scheme of the US Army 708th Amphibious …

P-51D MUSTANG “FEROCIOUS FRANKIE”
Seven years. That's how long it has taken me to start, build and finish a project that has been very close to my heart. This then, is my very own build of the superb 1/32 Tamiya P-51D Mustang which my great friend Frank gave me on my 40th birthday seven years ago. A lot has …
Grumman F-14A Tomcat
This is my tribute to the Grumman F-14 Tomcat. There are some aeroplanes that we dream about as young boys that we build models of and often know inwardly that we will probably never get close to them. One such boyhood dream for this once young man was the Grumman F-14 Tomcat. The Tomcat …
Tamiya’s 1/35 Tiger I.
"On a freezing winter morning a German tank crew wonder what this new day will bring........." There are times when an artist revisits his work and takes a bold step to improve it, purely out of instinct. I built and published a 1/35 Tiger I a couple of years ago but I was never really …
