Unveiled the camouflage pattern on my 1/48th Hasegawa A-7E Corsair II of VA-22. Going to seal this job in (minor adjustments later) - Fly Navy 🤘🏻 #ModelAircraft

Resuming work on this big f***er... 😎 Been working on it on and off for a couple of months now, cause all the preparatory butchering is putting me off...
I've got a lot of resin that has to go in. Let's try and finish that and get contructing 😁

Oh, hello. What’s she up to today?

I’ve been writing some articles for a society magazine about my obsession with 1940 aviation. The next article will be about Belgium and the Netherlands.

Productive day, converting a 50 litre plastic storage box into a model aircraft hangar.

Each model is supported on foamboard "trestles" so it doesn’t sit on its undercarriage, and is prevented from moving about to prevent damage during transport. I managed to get eight models fitted into two decks. There’s space for at least one more small model.

The latest model aircraft completed for the 1940 obsession. This year, I’m concentrating on RAF Bomber Command. An important British plane of World War Two was the Vickers Wellington. Over 11,000 were built up to 1945.

Built from the recent Airfix kit, which features a fully-detailed interior, my model represents a Wellington of No 311 (Czechoslovak) Squadron, flying from a base in Suffolk.

Scale model Vickers Wellington, posed on a realistic grass base. The plane is in early 1940s camouflage. A disruptive pattern of green and brown is on the upper surfaces, while the undersides are painted black to render the aircraft hard to see when flying at night.

Your instructor awaits. An RAF Avro Tutor biplane trainer, at 1/72nd scale. Part of my 1940 obsession.

This past week, my 1940 hobby saw an Airfix Wellington masked for painting, an Airfix Stirling take a few faltering steps towards completion, and an AZ Model Tutor gets a few more finishing touches before I attempt to instal the rigging wires.

A scale model Short Stirling bomber of World War Two. The model is unfinished, but has had glazed areas fitted and masked ready for priming and painting. It is in various base colours at this stage, some grey primer, some earth brown, some bare black plastic.
