Silly looking truck 👍

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat, of course!

Spanjaard
first row available? great, ready for the scratch master class 🙂
and a bit of fun too, of course 😉

gorby
Welcome to the build mates.
Kesa: Sillier the better for me. I go out of my way to find odd things to build. 🙂

David Taylor
Back in.

gorby
👍 🙂

Łukasz Gliński
I love the armoured cars and Gorbs' projects - I have to watch this too 👍

gorby
Welcome Lukasz. I hope the end result won't disappoint. 🙂

CaptGPF
I often winder how you choose your next topic for scratch builds! The subject matter is always something different or interesting - and the builds just phenomenal! Taking a seat to see the next creation!

Greg Baker
Oh, this is cool. I scratch-built an armoured car too - nothing this intense though - so I'm super-keen to see this one shape up.

gorby
Thanks both. 👍
Capt: for this one I went looking for something Norwegian, because that was the subject of the GB for Jens. It had to be something I'd be able to scratch build (as I was too tight to open my wallet to buy something. 😄 ). Normally it's because I just stumble on an interesting picture. 🙂

John Hughes
Another case of Norway nul points?

Alec K
Splendid, I am in 👍

gorby
😄 😄
Glad you could both join in. 🙂

New photos start from number 13
Build stage is now complete, just need to get the crayons out to colour it in. 😉

Łukasz Gliński
Those rivets look good 👍

Kesa Tiho
Silly angry black truck 👍

gorby
😄 😄 😄
Soon it'll be a silly, moderately angry grey truck. 🙂
Thanks for your comments mates. 👍

Alec K
Nice progress on this dry teabag-proof vehicle 👍😂

gorby
Interesting!
Incidentally, as you keep producing some very interesting subjects I've just had a look at your stash - wow fantastic range of kits, I'm green with envy. 😄

Alex K
I'm in, of course (agreeing with everything Gorby said...)

Robert Podkoński
Thank you, Mates 🙂

J35J
Always in on your builds😀

Robert Podkoński
It is good to have you aboard, J35J. Feel warmly welcomed!

AJMM
Really interested to see how this builds up. It's looking great so far!

Bruce Huxtable
Another space-saver! Wondering what interesting livery will bring this little gem to life? 🙂

Robert Podkoński
Feel warmly welcomed AJMM and Bruce! @Bruce - I like most the most 'exotic' livery - the Manchurian one. @AJMM - I am a bit concerned about the main undercarriage legs, they are very thin.

Łukasz Gliński
Can't miss it, it's on my wishlist too (but in 72nd) 👍

Bruce Huxtable
Hmmm....perhaps display her in flight, Robert?

Ben M
👀

Robert Podkoński
Welcome, Mates! @Bruce - I'm considering this option in fact 😉

Spanjaard
i am in, of course 🙂

Neil
Me too 👀

Robert Podkoński
Feel warmly welcomed, Spanjaard and Neil 🙂 I am back from vacations, so there will be next updates soon 😉

Marko
Well, I'd like to look at that. Worthwhile role model, that will be a nice model👍

Robert Podkoński
It's good to have you aboard, Marko 🙂

Guy Rump
Looking good so far, definitely following. 👍

Robert Podkoński
Thanks, Guy! Feel warmly welcomed 🙂

Zbynek Honzik
Taking a seat, Robert!
What a tiny little plane it will be... Fingers crossed and looking forward to the result! 👍

Robert Podkoński
Welcome, Zbynek 🙂 Tiny it is, indeed... 😉

Robin (WhiteGlint)

Robert Podkoński
Welcome, Robin!

Ludvík Kružík
Another great little project is born here 🙂
Of course I can't miss it. 👀

Robert Podkoński
Feel warmly welcomed, Ludviku!

Marcin Dudek

Robert Podkoński
I've been waiting for you, Marcin 😉

AJMM
Bravo. Brilliantly well done and great to see one of these finished. You've done a super job.

Robert Podkoński
Thank you very much, AJMM! You're too kind...

Łukasz Gliński
Niiice 👍 you also did a Bird Dog in 144 without losing your sight? Respect!

gorby
Well that got a "WOW!" from me! A tiny beauty.

Spanjaard
wow, great job!

Robert Podkoński
Thank you all: Spanjaard, Gorby, and Łukasz. Much appreciated 🙂 @Łukasz - I built this Cessna quite a long ago... and it is quite a simple kit. I find it useful as a "size comparison" item to my 1/144th builds 😉

Ludvík Kružík
Very nice model! 👍
Congratulations for successful completion.

Marko
small but nice, great result Robert.👍

Robert Podkoński
Thank you, Ludviku! Thank you, Marko! It was fun to build this.

Guy Rump
Great result Robert! 👍

Robert Podkoński
Thanks, Guy 🙂

Marcin Dudek
An eye-catcher. Congratulagions 👏

Greg Baker
You know I'm a sucker for a nice 1/144 build. Great work!

Robert Podkoński
Thank you both for your kind words, my friends 🙂

Neuling
So small and so beautiful!

Robert Podkoński
Thank you very much, Neuling. You're too kind.

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Great work Robert! 👍 These tiny models sure are something.
I am still curious how the J-20 fits into this. Is this project connected to an airshow?

Robert Podkoński
Thanks, Robin, much appreciated. (Firstly, Manchuria is now a part of China, so it is probable that J-20's are flying over Manchuria as well 😉. Secondly, both models are in 1/144th scale, and I find it interesting to compare the dimensions.)

Robin (WhiteGlint)
I see, thanks for explaining.

Jason Bloggs
I still consider myself a beginner at the hobby, picked the kit up cheap, then did the research and realised why it was so well priced. It's taken well over a year to complete with long breaks and pauses due to it being such a hard build, along the way I've cut my teeth on filling and sanding, re-scribing, airbrush painting and some minor detailing for the side vents around the intakes. Glad it's all over! kinda happy with the results.

Jennifer Franklin
Nicely done! If it was a hard kit, you made it look easy.

J35J
Great work with this notorius kit. I have also been there….
This one can really break your mojo but you pushed through! Congrats👍🏻

Bruce Huxtable
Very nice indeed 👍

Neuling
Doesn´t look like a beginner´s job .......... 👍

Mr James
I agree with Neuling. You've done a good job with this notoriously bad kit. Well done.

Vincent
Amazing result! The reputation of this kit isn't the best indeed.

Vincent
Very nice early Spitfire!
