1st October 2026 - A-Model 1/48 Yak-52
I have built A-Model before and it can be a challenge, but this one looks to be decent enough. A nicely represented Yak-52, this one to be built in a rather striking custom livery of a privately owned aircraft. Watch this space to see how that develops! But it should be fun to build let's see how I get on...

Hasegawa 1/32 McDonnell Douglas A-4F Skyhawk
This is an old mid-1970s kit, but still holds up very well and is arguably more accurate than the modern equivalents. The quality of the parts and moulding is excellent for the period and it has built into a really impressive and imposing model of the A-4. And in Blue Angels livery, what's not to like?
