On the bench currently are two commissions from Airfix Model World magazine. The first is Dragon's 1/35 Panzer III (Kursk) edition, while next up is Eduard's wonderful Tempest Mk.II, continuing the Hawker fighter theme of recent weeks.

Its not often these days I get to do a model just for me, but while awaiting the arrival of parts for the Hurricane, I resurrected a project which I began a year ago, but which was set aside due to my busy commission schedule. Eduard's 1/48 Spitfire Mk.1 is a fabulous little kit and joins my own Battle of Britain collection.  

It seems appropriate in this time of Jubilee celebrations to have a page full of famous

Battle of Britain era aircraft.

Just finished is Fly Model's 1/32 Hurricane Mk.1 built for a private collector and military historian. The model will be mounted on a display featuring the preserved pistons of V6685.

The actual aircraft was newly delivered to

249 Sqn and had yet to receive its individual

code letter when it was shot down during the battle. 

In the shops this month is the July issue of Airfix Model World magazine,

featuring my latest airbrush tutorial, which is all about the dark side of modelling
