You should add a video (or link to one) with the motorized drill rotating and tracks moving. Very impressive, love the detail.

Robert Podkoński
Cool!

Villiers de Vos
Very creative and inspiring.

Robert Podkoński
Cool job, Kyrylo!

Mr D
Nicely done, very unusual scheme, the engine details are nice, looks like a great little kit for the money...lve just started a flying boat, the Beriev be-6
Built it as a boy n re-visiting for nostalgia.
Well done..👍👍

Oleg Smilyk
Outstanding work. Love it!👍👍👍

David Taylor
Oh my.

Alexander Perov
I wanted to pass by, but you're just a miracle, it's not my thing, but hats off, it's genius.

Łukasz Gliński
Magnificent, like an airborne sailing ship 👍

Ben M
What a beautiful build and paint scheme!

Ethan Flory
Incredible job!!

J35J
Excellent work!

Pietro De Angelis
Beautiful!

Ctirad B
Many thanks for all comments! 🙂

Zbynek Honzik
Beautiful monster!!! 👏👏👏

Friedrich
Just stunning!

Ben M

Thomas Kolb
OMG, all that wiring, however did you make it without losing track? But a very beautiful model it turned out to be, I am super impressed!

Neuling
Just wow! 👍👍👍

Ctirad B
The wiring was really quite challenging. I used the instructions for the model from Wingnut wings in 1:32 scale as a good wiring diagram. It took me about about a month to stretch all the wires.There were moments when I did not believe that I would finish it. 😉

Ben M
Okay. I thought this was 1:32 when I saw it. Now that I realize it's 1:72 I'm even more amazed.

Guy Rump
Superb modelling. 👍

Finn
An absolute gem, awesome!

Landlubber Mike
Just came across this - amazing work! Did you use the AIMS decals for the white swirls?

Mr James
Amazing amount of detail for 1.72. Beautiful build

Ctirad B
To Mike: I couldn't find decals from AIMS here, so I decided to make an airbrush mask. I used the decal image as a base and redrew the whole thing in Corel. Then I cut them out of paper and tested how they fit on the fuselage. After many adjustments, I had the mask cut out on the plotter. It took a lot of time, but I think the result is not bad. (this mask is now available from MH models)

Villiers de Vos
Beautiful work.

Landlubber Mike
Wow, that's even more impressive then! I did see the MH Models masks. I have the AIMS decals, but I like the idea of masking the plane instead - plus, I read somewhere that some of the decals aren't the correct shape so hopefully MH got it right.

Ctirad B
The mask from MH models should be the same one I created and used on my model. I gave them my data for cutting.

Robert Podkoński
Beautiful indeed!

István Szücs
Interesting project!

J35J
I'm in for the flash flesta 😅👍🏻

Robert Podkoński
Make yourself comfortable, István and J35J. This will be surely a long party... 😉

István Szücs
Robert, almost you'd build an A-Model kit

Robert Podkoński
Believe me, István, A-model kits are much more modeller-friendly than Mach 2... Take a look here, for example: modelingmadness.com/..korean/us/hammx2.htm

Ben M
Another member of the non-aligned movement.

Marko
That's something to be excited about. Mach2 kits don't have the reputation of being shaking kits. 👍

Martin
As I said on the project, I wish you luck with this, it is something you seldom see, but it looks cool in the end. It is quite a long time ago when I did mine - al the best!

and, so far it does not look that bad for a mach2

S M
Gotta see this! 😄

John Hughes
This looks very Gerry Anderson, so I'm in!

Robert Podkoński
What an audience I have... I feel a bit under pressure now 😉 @Martin - you're right, at least the polistyrene seems to be of a good quality.

Guy Rump
I'm watching as well Robert 🙂 👍

Ekki
And me.

Robert Podkoński
Feel warmly welcomed, Mates!

Mid Franconian
Extra like for the striking project title 😂! I expected an old KP kit first…

Bruce Huxtable
Soo many seams.... Watching this tutorial for sure 😉. OMG, Robert, that's quite a critique of MACH, kits.... Good Luck!

Ben M
It's such a cool subject, I remember seeing it in my dads airplane books when I was young.

Ludvík Kružík
Robert, once again you have chosen a great topic. The French experimental jet powered Leduc aircraft looked really futuristic at the time of its creation.
I wish you strong nerves and a lot of fun building your model!

Robert Podkoński
Now I feel even more pressure 😉 ... @Bruce - I know what I am talking about, I have completed a few models from both producers already 😉 @Ludvik - I was lucky enough to see both Leduc 010 and 022 in Le Bourget museum and they still look futuristic imho 🙂

Palo M
Grabbing a sear

Robert Podkoński
Welcome, Palo!

Ludvík Kružík
He certainly wouldn't be a disgrace as a space fighter in Star Wars. 😄

The photos of the kit parts show that you really have a lot of work ahead of you.

John Hughes
Not Star Wars, more Flash Gordon by the looks of those sprues!

Neil
Hi Robert, Haha! 'da Putty Party'... Love it!... Following with great interest 🙂

Robert Podkoński
Feel welcomed to the party, Neil - every party needs a DJ 😄

Neil
Thanks Robert. I'm there mate! 🎧🤘🎶

Ben M
Those parts look gloriously terrible

Robert Podkoński
Still, the plastic is workable, Ben. As far as I have checked: it can be filed, filled, and glued... So, there is hope... 😄

Ben M
I looked in the stash and I have a mach2 kit I bought when I was young and foolish.

Robert Podkoński
I have five, not counting this one... Hmm...the testimony of what kind of mental disease it is? Nothwithstanding, only Mach 2 offered models of some exotic planes, like X-24.

gorby
I wish you luck Robert. Your going to need it (and probably a stiff drink or four). 😉
Was the kit mould made from soap? 😄

Robert Podkoński
Thanks for your encouraging words, Gorby! ... It seems probable, taking into account that in some Mach 2 kits the material itself is "soapy"... 😄

Alex K
A French prototype and a Mach 2 kit? Can't miss that... I see I'm late but a seat way back in the gallery must be still available...

Jennifer Franklin
I am taking a seat in the gallery myself.

John Hughes
Jennifer? We thought you were missing in action!

M0rce
Looks interesting 🤔

Robert Podkoński
Feel warmly welcomed, Alex, Jennifer and M0rce! I am glad to have you all aboard. @Alex - I have started this album yesterday, so you're not late 🙂

Greg Baker
I'm in!

Nicolas
I'll take a seat.

Robert Podkoński
Welcome, My Friends!... I was not prepared for such an audience 🙂

Greg Baker
Don't worry, Robert. We brought our own snacks!

Robert Podkoński
Good for you 😄

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 🙂
