RAF decade by decade

After resuming construction of Airfix model kits after a lay-off of about 20 years by accident i have a theme for the aircraft i have constructed so far. I am going through the life of the RAF decade by decade as you shall see...

1910s - RE8

A large and rather unwieldly biplane, to be honest this put me off biplanes for a bit!

1920s - Tiger Moth

Chronologically the first kit i made here (RE8 was next then the others followed as below).

1930s - Defiant

We enter the monoplane era.

1940s - Hurricane

My favourite WW2 warplane. Due an upgrade i think. As i get better at this modelling lark i go back and improve the models, well a little.

1950s - Spitfire Mark 19

Although the Spitfire is a a WW2 legend this model (and paint style) reflects it's final RAF role in the early 1950s.

1960s - Jet Provost

The current project.

A Harrier may be the next project for the 1970s with perhaps a Tornado for the 1980s, Typhoon for the 1990s and a Hawk 128 for the 2000s. Much glueing, painting and swearing to go though!
