Excellent work and I have to say that, in particular, the old Airfix Meteor has scrubbed up very well in your capable hands.

Terrific builds. Good to see the ol' Skyray built up.

You have some really smart models!
I've got the Skyray on the go at the moment. Hope it turns out as good as yours.

Here's another of my older completions; the Airfix 1/48 Bf 109F-2. It makes up into a really nice representation of this aircraft, although the newer Hasegawa, ICM, and best of all Zvezda kits are much more refined. The markings are from an Aeromaster sheet and were chosen because of the unusual 3-tone camoflage.

Love the Airfix 1/48 109F.
Very inspiring. This always had a good reputation. I must build it (and the old Hurricane I) in the teeth of the fancy new moulds.

cheers,

A great collection Marine, very nicely done models. I have the old Airfix 1/48th 109F in the stash and it does build into a decent replica -the F is my favourite version, more streamlined than the Emil and lacking the ugly bumps of the Gustav.
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.
