This is an Airco DH9 from WnW. An odd choice for me as a car and motorcycle builder these days but I was inspired by sandbaggeruk on largescalemodeller and his recent Armstrong-Whitworth F.K.3 . I picked this up on EBay for £100. More than I wanted to pay but way less than anyone else it seems...

A problem i think that effects every country these days is the cost of labour which dictates the cost of all repairs. For many years the cost of restoration of vintage motorcycles has far exceeded the completed values. To make matters worse what might be viable at the start of a project could...

The RAF said today that the first tempest will fly in 2028 with an in service date of 2035. Do others think maned Aircraft will still be about in 2035 ? given the ridiculous costs when even now drones will do the job for a fraction of the price . I know this is not model related although it...

Hot on the heels of my MS11 1968 F1car from MFH comes this. Could there be a bigger contrast in a similar subject? While the method of construction, the detail and the materials differ widely , I wonder if they can compete , side by side on display with 60 years between launch dates? So this is...

many moons ago i got some 1mm black tubing in a kit, i cant remember what it was but the best way to describe it was "limp". If i said you could take a yard of it , hold it above a bench then lower it and coil it as it hit the bench under its own weight , that might describe how loose and limp...

Looking ahead to a future project i have been looking for pictures of an Airco DH9 . Its a very rare aircraft now and pictures are hard to find. HAC have a flying example but they dont allow downloads etc of pictures from their website however. Its now up for sale and the seller agents have...

https://flyer.co.uk/feature/shuttleworth-pilot-ok-after-triplane-crash/ I shouldn't laugh but the guy was unharmed and its a scene straight out of the film really. what other plane could you land in a tree and walk away :)

I posted a mesage on the MFH build site on FB, not the factory site, you cant post there Anyone built the MFH MS11 ? The instructions dont show where the breather hoses from the rocker boxes go on the D version and the kit doesnt have the 4 hoses ( 2 each side) coming from the body to the...

Work has started on my MFH Matra MS11 F1 car ........or at least the engine :) Before i could get going there were 80 holes to drill in the above castings, mostly 0.8mm thank god for these electric pen drills :)

While in-between builds i was looking through some web pictures for 1968 pit stops like you do :-). My thinking was my next build would be an F1 car and while F1 cars today are clinically clean and they are built and maintained in a surgical environment, back in the day i used to go to Brands...

I have been following a couple of sales on the internet auctions over here 2x 1:8 scale model of a 1932 Alfa Romeo Spider Touring One looks to be nicely completed and one fully boxed with sealed bags, the complete one went for £80 GBP and the boxed unstartled went for £100 GBP Both these...

MFH now introduce a new model on the 24th of most months. That's fine :) The model for April is the F40 above, it was released for pre order this morning at 10AM Japanese time Therefore the buying window in the US would have been approx. 10PM to 2AM ie: the middle of the night. I say this...

not hugely exciting but original colour film and look how dark the two tone camo is. i think this is right because all other colours seem correct.

Flight Lieutenant Colin Bell, aged 105 and the sole remaining bomber pilot who operated the de Havilland Mosquito during the Second World War, was received by the King at Buckingham Palace on Wednesday. During the audience, the King presented the veteran with the citation accompanying his 1945...

At the risk of being repetitive and becoming boring my plan here is to continue my "alternative version" theme. The problem was I never kept any of my models so now I have retired and closed my motorcycle business , I have some space which I never had before. I would like to replace some of my...
