Gary Bottoms takes us through an update of his build of Tamiya's 1/32nd Corsair and Hobby Bosses 1/48 Blohm & Voss BV141.

Aeroscale has a reputation amongst modelling sites as "That WW I site". Perhaps it's because some of our members can do Great War subjects so wonderfully well. January's Model of the Month shows us once more how a biplane should be done.

Burt Gustafson gives us another of his jets to look at.

Our virtual visit to the Museum of Army Flying concludes with the Westland Scout which guards the Museum's lawn.

Our virtual visit to the Museum of Army Flying makes a stop at the Horsa assault glider.

In the late 1950s, Japan's Air Self Defence Force selected the ubiquitous Sabre as its main fighter aircraft. The Sabre also became the mount of the country's air display unit, Blue Impulse.

Gary gives us his first impressions on this new Tamiya release which he will be building.

The Mitsubishi A6M needs no introduction. The most famous and recognisable aircraft of Japan's Navy, it went from unbeatable to unusable in 4 short years, yet such was the desperation of Japan's dire straits that they stayed in service long after they sho

Every pilot had to learn to fly, and that included Army pilots. The British Army Air Corps trained their pilots on the RAF's Miles Magisters.

As another year draws to a close, it's time to look back at the entries to our Model of the Month contests.

Our virtual tour of the Museum of Army Flying takes us next to the Hotspur glider. While it never saw combat operations, the Hotspur was responsible for training the pilots of the Glider Pilot Regiment, and thus is a very important historical aircraft.

Here's the latest installment of our all-too-infrequent Junior Modeller's Showcase. Ryan presents his P-51B Mustang.

The only US fighter in constant production from the first day of the war to the last, the P-38 was a design in search of a mission. Luckily, it found its niche in the very long-range island hopping campaign of the Pacific Theatre.

Every so often the Model of the Month contest raises discussions about scale, and the perception that only large-scale models in. It's nice to see an occasion when an excellent modeller proves that perception completely wrong.

NATO Tiger Meets are legendary. Drab goes away and out come the creative members of the Squadrons with their paintbrushes.

It happened much more often than shooting down the enemy. Fuelling and maintaining went on every day, unglamorous but vital.

With the arrival of December, it's time to look back over the year's best models and pick the bestest.

The MiG-21 needs no introduction. This particular MiG was one of the more famous of the post-Soviet aircraft.

We continue our tout of the Museum of Army Flying with a stop at the Gazelle.

Darren Baker shares with us a walk around of an AH-1F Huey Cobra.

October's MOM winner is an early model F4U-1 Corsair.

Jim gives us a sneak peek at this new release from Tamiya. A new variant of their highly praised F4U Corsair. This time in the semi-bubble top canopy with additional options for clear engine cowls and housing.

Darren Baker shares with us some images of the Sopwith Pup currently on display at the Museum of Army Flying or also known as Middle Wallop Army Air Corps museum.

It's not often that a training aircraft wins Model of the Month. When that happens, it's likely because the model is superb.

The Annual IPMS Fall Show in Vancouver is a longstanding tradition. 2014 marks the 44th year the show has been held.

The new Airfix 1/24 Hawker Typhoon is making a splash in certain circles.

While not as glamorous as the fighters, the US Navy's A-6 Intruder was a versatile attack aircraft which served the fleet for more than 30 years.
