gorbyWOW, WOW and a couple of extra WOW's!
Amazing result Frank. Without doubt the best Golblin model I've ever seen.
I bet Halberd Models would love to use your photos for their marketing.

Thomas Haberl - TH SCALE MODELSIt looks so weird but very nicely done - superb craftmanship 😆
1 11 March, 10:21
Ben MVery well built and finished. I wonder how they ever thought this would be a viable fighter.
1 11 March, 11:42
bughunter AutorThank you very much mates!
I added two new pictures with the protection bow and securing fabric belt. I added also dust pigments to the wheels what I forgot before.
11 March, 18:26
Alec KOutstanding work in traditional Bughunter style! And done, in what I find, an unbelievable time frame 👍
2 11 March, 18:31
Zbynek HonzikAlec K said it for me. There's nothing to add. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Actually I have something to add - great photos! 👍
1 11 March, 19:04
bughunter AutorWhat a wonderful feedback - Thank you very much to each of you 👍
gorby - your guess was right! It will appear on the Facebook page of Halberd Models 🙂
Yes Alec, I've been working on it all day - 24 hours a day! And because there wasn't enough time, I added the night. 😎 Joking aside, yes I spend a lot of time. And this winter was very warm here without snow/ice, so my airbrush sessions was not blocked by the iced roof window.
2 11 March, 21:43
Kyle DeHartOf course I had to come over and check out the glamour photos. Beautiful build and wonderful photography, as always. Such a cool build of a really unique subject
1 12 March, 01:15
Jennifer FranklinThe photos are well done to show off this stunning and unique build.
1 12 March, 01:38
Ludvík KružíkFrank, you did a great job! I have no choice but to agree with the previous posts. And frankly, when your name appears on a project, we know in advance what kind of result we can expect 😉
Congratulations on the successful completion of this interesting model!
1 12 March, 10:47
Bart GoesaertOh boy... I hope I can get my special hobby somewhere near this... a real stunner
1 12 March, 11:34
SkyhikerExcellent work as usual. I still think this is an ugly plane though. Whoever designed it must have been on a bad trip.
2 12 March, 13:34
bughunter AutorAnother big Thank you all for your kind words!
@Skyhiker The design was made under strict requirements: it had to fit into the bomb bay of the B-36! Therefore folded wings were a must, the multiple control surfaces at the tail as well and of course the hook is the visible area of the pilot. It also needs actuators for the wing and hook, four guns with ammunition and fuel, all of which need space in the short fuselage - so there was no other way than this egg design. The design was good enough to achieve good performance figures - the "only" problem was the strong turbulence from the mother plane, so it was assumed that a normal pilot would not be able to hook on back.
4 12 March, 14:05
gorbyThat's one of the reasons it's one of my favourite aircraft. It's remarkable they managed to fit so much into such a small aircraft. I think it's an amazing design.
1 12 March, 15:08
bughunter Autorgorby, the unique design and the look (together with the carrier) invited me to buy and tackle this kit.
If anyone would like to see this model live - this weekend is your chance! I will be showing it, along with others, at my club's exhibition in Ergolding here:
11. Bayerische Modellbautage (15. and 16. March, Ergolding DE)
It would be nice to see you there!
1 13 March, 17:53
bughunter AutorThank you Bernhard! Coming from a master like you this means a lot!
Do you want to see it on the EME in Lingen?
14 March, 21:50
Jennifer FranklinI absolutely love it. It is such an odd subject but you certainly did it justice.
1 14 March, 22:48
bughunter AutorThank you very much mates!
The little Goblin aroused a certain amount of interest at the exhibition today so it will travel with me to the EME 😉
1 15 March, 19:42
bughunter AutorThanks mates!
Yes Tom, this little jet will be there!
After coming home from our exhibition this evening, I decided to leave my models packed up for the EME in Lingen.
2 16 March, 19:40
bughunter AutorIt looks like I was the first one who finished the 1:48 version of the kit, so this model is now also on the Facebook page of Halberd Models, together with link to Scalemates 👍 And I got a very very kind feedback. Thanks to the folks at Halberd Models for creating this kit!
3 17 March, 21:37
Kyle DeHartThat is very cool Frank!! First one. And you've set the bar extremely high!!
1 18 March, 09:14
bughunter AutorKyle, I hope, it will generate more interest and I'm sure some more will follow, may be more in 1:32.
1 18 March, 18:08
Kyle DeHartI am following along with a 1/32 build on our forum at the moment!! Also very neat to follow along with.
1 18 March, 20:48
bughunter AutorThank you very much for your lovely comments!
Michael, perhaps you weren't expecting such a topic from my bench, but I have broadened my interests a little 🙂
1 21 March, 18:33
JohnHow did I miss this one before? Amazing result bughunter! Your work with intricate tiny details always makes me green with envy. I get fumble fingers trying to put things like tiny PE buckles on and you make it look easy.
1 21 March, 20:26
bughunter AutorThank you John four your comment!
It's clear that you can easily overlook a jet project if you only expect biplanes from me 😉
21 March, 21:21
bughunter AutorAfter a great weekend at the Euro Model Expo in Lingen, I'm now back home after a long trip.
The little Goblin won the gold medal for 1:48 aircraft in the Master class in the Euro Model Expo 2025 contest. 🙂

Jeremias H AutorThanks, Rui!
The tank didn't look abandoned so I opened the hatch and added details all around and inside the tank with mostly wire, metal sheets and a bit of plasticcard. I wasn't satisfied with the leaves, a lot of them were all over the place and I decided to redo them all.
Now I think everything is ready for painting.
6 February, 23:03
Tom B.Great looking scenery so far 👍 Can´t wait to see what some paint will turn this into!
1 17 February, 15:32
Jeremias H AutorThanks, Paul and Tom!
I finished the airbrushing and some details. Weathering is up next.
17 February, 15:34
Jeremias H AutorFinished for now! Sorry for being too lazy in making more wip photos. As always it took way longer and much more work than I expected.
21 February, 16:04
Bozo1/72 for ever.
Marvelous result at this scale.
Figures, tank and diorama, all are very convincing.
2 21 February, 17:02
Tom B.Absolutely fabulous result in the best scale 👍 The textures and natural vegetation elements look splendid!
Now I´m somewhat drawn to build some sort of small vignette as well 🙂 No better motivation than some great inspiration I´d say
1 21 February, 18:39
Jeremias H AutorThanks Bozo and Tom 🙂
I highly recommend it. I love these small vignettes, you can fill them with details rather quick in 1/72.
21 February, 19:54
Rui SWow 😮 I thought it was a best scale diorama. That really looks like a 1/35 dio 🤔
1 21 February, 20:34
Spanjaardfully agree with Rui, it could pass as 1/35, what a fantastic job . did you do the pslm try from scratch? it is really good
1 14 March, 21:50
Jeremias H Autor@Spanjaard thanks! Yes, the trunk is wire around a cocktailstick and magic sculpt for texture. The leaves are also made with a wire in the middle, folded crep tape around it, cut the rough leave shape and lastly cut inside the individual "strands". Earlier wip photos might give you the idea.
14 March, 22:49
Simon SWWow! Looks just like a Francois Verlinden dio I would have seen in a magazine when I was a kid. But his were 1/35!
1 27 March, 21:40
Jeremias H Autor@Spanjaard no problem and thx 🙂
@Simon Thanks. It means a lot to me to be compared to that! I was always amazed by the models in magazines when I was a kid and thought it would be impossible to do it 😉
@Finn thx! I was out of the hobby for a long time but painted wargaming figures occasionally.
1 28 March, 20:46
Tom B.Had the chance to view this one "in the flesh" at Euro Model Expo 👍 Did take a whole bunch of pictures as reference for some future ideas of my own 🙂
31 March, 10:54
Jeremias H Autor@Tom B I'm happy you liked it! I also saw your works (I remember the Ka-Mi), but you weren't there when I went by. Great models!

1 21 February, 22:13
Mid Franconian AutorThanks Jürgen!! In fact the BMF BB+293 is the oldest one… built in 2006! Time flies! That was my first kit with Alclad paints.
1 24 February, 22:05
Thomas KolbOboy, I missed this setup. This Sabre collection looks so nice together, a true pleasure for the eyes. You have a good eye for the right amount of semi-gloss coat - may I ask what varnish you are using for it?
31 March, 19:36
Mid Franconian AutorHi Thomas, currently I use:
Tamiya X-22 thinned with Mr Leveling Thinner for gloss surface.
Vallejo Satin coat on top of X-22 when a satin finish is needed (like on the most recent built BB+133 Mk.5 Sabre - they were painted with more glossy Canadian paint).
And for a matte finish I use Vallejo matte coat. For the Vallejos I use their airbrush thinner.
31 March, 22:14
Midtens Hello, my name is Mike and I recently purchased a 21 foot tag-along trailer. I have put it together and one minor problem is that it is warped, not bad, but I can deal with it. The major issue is the axles slot on the trailer frame does not line up with the axles. My triple axle trailer was perfect, but this 21 footer needs some attention. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and like I said I have already glued it together and it is ready for paint.

BozzerI'll stick around for this, if that's ok? Keen to pick up some ideas and tips.
14 May 2023, 21:47
BozzerWell I've got a few resin transkits now, so I'm interested in how you modify everything to fit, and obviously the prep work that's needed to be done, before you hit the paint booth? I'm aware that resin doesn't like certain substances, so what are you going to use?
16 May 2023, 03:23
David Wolff AutorIt's mostly a lot of test fitting. I was able to get drawings of the original including dimensions which helped. I made the mistake of accepting the trans kit instructions for some of the build steps and discovered that the front axle was 2.4mm too far forward. This was why I ended up scratch building the front springs. I use a lot of reference material (mostly from the internet) and draw to scale any parts I need to make. To take measurements I use a selection of steel rulers, compass and a micrometer as well as Tamiya tape for curved sections. I'll try and include some examples. I always wash the resin in warm soapy water and air dry. To paint I use Mr Surfacer as a primer - this helps show up any imperfections or bubbles in the resin and is also a filler. Larger holes I use either cyanoacrylate and accelerant, sanding straight away as it is much harder than the resin when fully cured. I also use Green Stuff and Mr White Putty. As the Mr Surfacer is a filler as well it dries quite evenly and only needs a light rub over with 2000 grade wet and dry sandpaper. I usually use Zero Paints over the primer as although they smell they airbrush well and are rapid drying.
16 May 2023, 14:51
BozzerExcellent information! I look forward to seeing this come together! I have a Mack F type, Diamond T, Mack R 700 and a few others, that escape my memory. I'll try not to chip in, and give everyone else a chance to comment. Thanks again buddy 👍

20 October 2024, 21:19
Ricardo Reis Autor@Jorge, têm sim... o problema é que o cockpit tem o detalhes ainda mais definido, é mesmo lindo, o sacana...
@Spanjaard, the details in the cockpit are more crisp than the details on the decals... it breaks my heart! 🙁
@Desert Marlin, yup, quite. :\
21 October 2024, 13:21
Ben MYou might leave a comment on the 3d decal page so people know what they're getting in to.
21 October 2024, 22:47
Ricardo Reis Autor@Ben, with GWH this is always the case, I had to do the same thing with my F-15 some years ago; Eduard has done it better, because they always have parts with details and parts that are flat, for this purpose
21 October 2024, 22:51
Ben MNice work on the line. I've never done that but definitely will give it a try sometime now that I see how well it works. I wonder if I dare use my non imbedding polishing compound or if I should get the hobby stuff.
1 12 January, 02:22
Ricardo Reis AutorThanks; I only use the traditional Tamiya compounds, they work for me, so I'm not changing 🙂
1 12 January, 02:23
Ricardo Reis AutorHello Nathan; thank you, I delayed these builds a little during Christmas time and New Year, I hope I can pick up the pace now, again 🙂
18 January, 01:34
Jorge FerreiraRicardo. Esses grampos todos para colar o avião ? Isso é da Revell ou quê ? Mais essa carlinga com riscos por limpar........mais uma boa bo......sta de kit sim senhor. Louvo-te o trabalho mas por 20 paus compro o da revell 😁😁😁
21 January, 19:46
Desert MarlinThat really is a lot of clamps! The canopy came out great! This mold line they put in the top of the glass seems to be pretty common for all the 4th generation fighter aircraft. You make it look great!
1 21 January, 20:08
Ricardo Reis AutorCaro @Jorge, the clamp is to hold the temporary canopy in place while the white glue sets, no biggie; the glass seam is a pain, but solved in 5 minutes of careful sanding and polish 🙂
1 21 January, 23:14
Jorge FerreiraOh Ricardo não são esses grampos são os outros..... Ou montaste isso mal ou o kit é mau 😁😁😁😁
23 January, 15:16

Michael Kohl AutorHi Ralf, thanks for your nice comment. Indeed, this kit tested my skills, patience and perseverance as it is very fragile and some parts, like the leading edge slats, are quite tricky to assemble. But what you have seen in Lingen must have been another Zen-Master as I happen to work this weekend. 🙂

Michael Kohl AutorThanks a ton mates for the nice feedback. Makes me happy.
@Andrei: actually it is not that difficult as the layout of the kits is quite smart - most of the time. But I admit that some steps are a tad fumbly and tricky indeed.
1 27 March, 08:18
bughunterAfter seeing pic32: looks a bit crazy, because the legs are too long -> in flight position.
I know this only as I built the 1:48 Storch from Tamiya, see how it looks like on ground: Fieseler Fi 156 Storch - A-99 of Switzerland | Album by bughunter (1:48)
Tamiya offers a accessory kit: Fi156C Storch In-Flight Land..lay Set (Tamiya 12620, 1:48) which contains a stand and new parts for a in-flight extended landing gear, so yours looks more like this.
Perhaps an excuse could be that the aircraft is very light because it is only half built and has no fuel and no cargo, so the suspension lifts it up 🙂
1 27 March, 15:09
Michael Kohl AutorThat was precisely my reasoning:😉
Otherwise I would have modified the hell out of this landing gear.

Cuajete AutorIt seems so, Andy. I hope he can pick up the project before the GB ends. I have several projects stopped for not being able to attend to them now, such as the DH.88 or the U-2. But they will all come to an end, sooner or later.
The last thing I did was strip the paint to repaint due to the harsh orange peel effect the yellow had when I put on the sand colored base coat. It is not appreciated in the pics, but that was not pleasing to the eye.
Simon, thanks for your comment 🙂

Andy BallI looked through the whole project Cuajete- wow, some scratch building going off there! Masterful.

Cuajete AutorThank you so much, Andy.
It was going to be a quick OOB build at first, but I started adding a few things until it finally made life difficult for me, 😄

Dean HarpsterA real master class! Thanks for the detail on how to mold a needed part... I intend to try it on at least a couple projects. Striking paint scheme, a real standout!

RuiCertainly an impressive collection. I love the mix of old and new in each country's vehicle park, but what's a M1 Abrams doing I the Canadian vehicle park; are they lost 😆

Mark Deliduka AutorRui, thank you, yes I did. I'm so glad too. As for the Abrams in the Canadian vehicle park; the Canadians at one point were evaluating the Abrams for their Army and had several with their markings on them. Eventually, they went with the Leopard 2 instead. So, I added an Abrams since they did have a couple with Canadian markings.
Dave, thank you!

DaveI was under the impression that the lost Abrams in Canada was looking for poutine.
