A kind soul on KiwiModeller posted the link to this friendly little corner of t'Web.
Now, I don't normally sign on wantonly with every modelling site, yet what I've seen on the bnoards here looks very intriguing.
So, I felt an urge to increase the numbers by another +1 and bring greetings from Noo Zillund.
I've been bashing kits since Dad bought an Airfix 1/72 F-4B when I was seven. Went thru the standard targets/car/balsa phases to arrive at a general mil aviation theme, with a main focus on WW2 Allied/Axis.
Grew up 'bashing Revel-Airfix-Frog-Monogram so I have a soft spot for lotsa mods on kits. I'm a card-carrying PE-holic. To the point I design LSM PE. mainly for Airfix Big Stuff and some Revell-o-gram 1/32.
I've been blessed with itinerant commission stuff over the past six years. These were actually the first Tamiya/AccMin/Italeri 'jewellery' plastic I could enjoy without major s/building.
PE was still necessary. Of course. Even pulled out some resin. Major headspin from the joy.
So, here's my site displaying most of the work to date. Really have to update it.
One side is my personal builds, the other is WIP/finished work on PE/placards design. As a heads-up, I'm currently organising production layouts for 1/32nd Mosquito B Mk IV and FB Mk VI, 1/24th PE for Spitfire Mk IIa and Va/Vb.

Lord willing, I also have 1/32nd Beaufighter Ic/If, VIc/VIf and 1/24th Airfix Hurricane to finish this month. The 1/24th P-51D is on the list, to complete the trifecta. Finally, I'm aiming for 1/32nd PE for the Hasegawa A-4K 'Kahu' mod cockpit.
I have a modified mold to pull vac canopies for the -51D's 'Dallas' hood. Also have plans for vac canopies for the Revell Mosquito B Mk IV and Beaufighter. to correct the appalling kit clear parts.
Kind regards
