Join me to uncover the unique story of G-ANBG, a VIP aircraft known by an unflattering nickname, and learn why its compelling history made it the subject of my most challenging modeling project to date.

Let's explore the multi-faceted process of researching, conceptualizing, and designing a scratch-built model to truly capture Britannia's imposing size.

Step inside G-ANBG’s cabin and explore how the model’s interior was designed and detailed.

Take a dive into the creation of the Bristol Britannia model's nose! This post reveals the journey from initial design considerations, tackling the challenges of its structure, to the hands-on process of mould making, vacuum forming and metal working.

In this blog post, I'll be focusing on Britannia's tail section, explaining the intricate design and building process of this large yet refined portion of the aircraft.

What is it about an aircraft's flight deck that so utterly captivates us? Perhaps it's the organised chaos of technology, the promise of soaring skies, or the sheer density of detail that makes it a modeler's dream (and sometimes, nightmare!). In this post, I'm inviting you behind the scenes to see how I brought the intricate world of the Britannia’s cockpit to life, piece by painstaking piece.
