Here’s some photos I took today of my latest 1/32 Winjeel build. You can see more of the construction of this model at http://uncleles.net/2016/10/07/132-winjeel/ and while I was there tending to the young eagle a falcon happened by… This coming weekend the 1/32 Winjeel A85-445 can be seen in the flesh at the Bayonet Model Club’s annual competition…
I’ve replaced this post with this one: 1/32 CAC Winjeel
It was a lovely day today and I’d heard that the HARS Caribou was heading down to Avalon for a photo shoot so I headed down and took some models to photograph as well. As it happened, I didn’t get any decent shots of the Bou, but I did manage some amateur model photography starting…
I received an order for a fairly large number of 28mm modern ADF AFVs a couple of weeks ago and I’ve been pretty much tied up since then fashioning up multiples of suitably sized M1A1 Abrams, M113AS4s, M88s and of course a number of ASLAV variants. The good news for those attending Little Wars is…
I was contacted by a modeller with an enquiry about a kit I produced many years ago and asked if I would re-release it. So due to popular demand ( OK – two guys so far..) I have remastered the 1/72 version of the kit and I thought why not present it here with a…
1/48 isn’t my usual scale for modern jet aircraft, but it is for many of my modelling compadres. To this end a collegue of mine involved at the retail end of scale modelling recently returned from the Toy fair in Nuremberg with an advance copy of the new Kinetic F-18 Hornet offering and requested I…
After a burst of activity in between Christmas and New Year’s I can call the test examples of the CA31 in 1/32 completed. I’m happy with them being fairly good representations of the aircraft as envisioned and for those game enough I’ll make them available after I work out how much production…
Subsequent to my ramblings in my previous CA31 posting I’ve sold a fair number of 1/72 CA31 kits. As a result I’ve updated the instruction manual and have posted a PDF of what comes with the kit here – I’ll sort it all into a separate area dedicated to guides etc once I start uploading more instructional pieces. This won’t…
Presenting the piloted Jindivik ! Years ago I made a 1/72 kit of this diminutive aircraft having seen the aircraft in the flesh every second weekend when I performed the role of host officer down at RAAF WIlliams Museum. You can see history here and here of the real aircraft . Following on from the…
Years ago I chanced upon an article in the September 1967 issue of “Aircraft” on the CA-31 Supersonic trainer. I looked at this diminutive aircraft and was immediately struck with the same intrigue mixed with sorrow I feel when I thumb through “Project Cancelled”, the wonderful book by Derek Woods (ISBN 1 85488 026 8—put it…
