1/144 Aircraft

These are the little guys, often not much more than a few inches long, but don't write these miniature models off as lacking substance compared to the high part counts of their larger brethren. Recent releases in this scale are of such a high standard that 1/144 has thrust itself into the limelight as a scale to be reckoned with! Thanks to companies such as the Japanese manufacturer Sweet and the Czech Republic's Eduard and their skill with precision engineered toolings, super detailed 1/144 models are no longer outwith the realms of possibility.

I used a photoetch cockpit/exterior detail set and scratch-built the Merlin engine and landing flaps. The twin radio antenna wires are actually hairs from my dog!

I used a resin cockpit from RetroKit and made my own vacformed sliding canopy section for optical clarity and scale thickness. This kit took 1st place in its class at the 2013 Scottish National Model Show.

In addition to the inclusive photoetch, I scratch-built the cockpit interior, the Jumo engine assemble, the port wheel strut and added various external details. I also custom vacformed the canopy.

All I did with this kit was to add some detail to the ejector seat and the instrument panel.

A fun colour scheme. I used a RetroKit resin ejector seat to enhance the cockpit.
