JFK.s 2nd command

After the loss of PT109, JFK took command of PT59 at Tulagi Island in September 1943 after returning from some R&R.

Now US torpedoes were not reliable or effective against the Japanese shipping being met at this time so PT59 had her 4 torpedo tubes removed and replace with a ...

HMS Jervis 1st refit. (3D plastic?)

In my comments about the plastic used in the printing of HMS Jervis I said I would not be displaying this model in sunlight as it may be turned into a goby mess. Well, it may be that you will have to have an aircon unit available. Now I know it's been a hot ...

Thanks for the nice comments. it's nice to see that our models can stir sights and sounds and bring back memories for people. I took the completed model back to the local craft shop where I had bought it a couple of weeks ago to let the shop owner see what I had done with it so now it is on display ...

Part 2.

I had decided to finish it as “Princess Ann” as it's on display at the” Hovercraft Museum at Le-on-Solent". However, after some research found that what Airfix supplies is basically a Mk1/2/3 whereas the preserved one is a stretched Mk.4 so that was out, but if I do a good job with this ...

Airfix SRN-4 “Vintage Classic”

Was not sure if it's a flying machine or a boat but as Mike said in one of his emails that he had flown in one I've placed it here.
Built this the first time it was released but after finishing it my young son took a liking to it so I did not have it long (he was 3 ...

NeOmega Fairmile “B” Sub-hunter

Hi all, I bought this when it was first released but have only now had time to build it due to other projects getting in the way. As I'm building it now, I,v seen some other build reviews by other modellers so know some of the challengers ahead.

So, the first job ...

Mike. You've got me blushing. I class myself as an average modeler the only thing I'm an expert at is being able to cover up the cock-up's I make in my builds. Now it's not that I not grateful for the complements but you must remember I've seen your work and all the Forum members that I've meet at ...

Hi all.

Associate member part 2

Now this is a bit different as the build here is not mine. It's my youngest grandson's. He and his brother have accompanied me to the last 4 shows I have been to, and Carter (the youngest) has entered a couple of classes for new/young entries at the last 2 shows ...
