I am slightly irritated because of no respond for this kit. That color looks so sick (in a good way) on that kind of vehicle! Along with the roof rack and stuff on it, you can imagine, how the rich younger people do their life. Crazy idea well done.

Neuling
A fun car for sure. 🙂

Christian W кстати, цвет авто увидел на фотографии в интернете, одного из хозяев такого авто

Андрей Н
Спасибо!

Alexander Grivonev

Андрей Н
Пасиб. правда паджероводы меня раздолбали за нестандартные антены.

nikfrost
Really nice build

Андрей Н
Спасибо!!

Zbynek Honzik
Taking a seat and I keep my fingers crossed that the building will be joyful and successful, Michael!

Mr D
Really like the subject 😁👍👍 Good stuff, l built one as a boy in the 1990's

Łukasz Gliński
Can't miss an IF project 👍
That windshield is terrible - what's your plan for it?
And most importantly - are you going to build Lady Agnes? 🙂

Michael Kohl
Hi mates. Nice to have your interest and you on board. Thanks Zbynek. So far it took much more effort than I expected. Lets see how it continues.
@Mr D: childhood memories. I suppose you build it in scale 1:100? VEB Plasticard?
Lukasz, I bent and glued it und sanded it flush afterwards. As I will use the Authentic Airliner decals for the cockpit windows, they do not need to be transparent.

Mr D
Hi Michael 👋,
Yes it was the Veb version, very basic....but l was enjoying building it as fast as l could.... Glue finger prints n all 🤣
Can you sort the cockpit glass ?? Surprised.... Zvezda usually very good.
Thanks for your upload..... I'm big Soviet era fan.

Łukasz Gliński
Good choice Sir, the AA window decals are super cool.
Unfortunately some of their livery decals have some errors.

Michael Kohl
Yeah, I was surprised by the fit issue too. On the upside are definitely very fine and consistent engravings which I hope to preserve.
And - by the way - it won't be Lady Agnes¹. I like to represent the plane I flew to Moscow with. Unfortunately I do not have a picture of this particular aircraft and am thus not sure about it's actual registration. The history of some a/c is available to me, so I can rule out some. And I photographed two parked IL-62M too while taxiing which I can rule out too.
With these informations I ruled out registration: SEW, SEC, SEF, SEG, SEY and SEK. So right now I will go for registration DDR-SET.

¹ a word for those not familiar with Lady Agnes. She is obviously an IL-62M too and was flown to Stölln. After being stripped of everything unnecessary she landed on a 900m grasstrip (how on earth did they manage to get a permission for that?!) and is used now as a Cafe there in it's original Interflug livery.
You've never heard of Stölln? It is located in the federal state of Brandenburg, about 40km west of Berlin and is the oldest aviation site on earth and in the history of mankind. No other that Otto Lilienthal tested some of his gliders there.

Robert Podkoński
Watchimg with pleasure! Of course, I remember VEB Plasticard kit very well 😉 And thanks for the interesting story!

bughunter
Oh, a very personal project - watching! Sorry, I digged so deep into my build that I missed yours.
So I'm now in and good luck!
Regarding putty: I'm now a fan of Tamiya light curing putty which hardens quickly with UV light.
If wee meet again I like to hear more background about this trip and can provide other insights 😉

Michael Kohl
Hi Frank. No reason for apologies. You are welcome anytime.
Looking forward to our next meeting.

Spanjaard
a bit late, but I am in. nice detail added in this intakes

Mr D
Looking good, really nice shaped Airliner 👍
Do you use the black to find imperfections?? Or is it a pre-shading??
I'm in process of building the Veb Be-6 Soviet flying boat, and may help me to do similar.
Thanks for your uploads... Like anything from Soviet era n russian.

Michael Kohl
Welcome mate. Always nice to have you around.
Yes, Mr D, I use the black primer to identify imperfections as the grey one is too close to the plastic color and with the white one, flaws are not that visible. The downside is that it takes a lot of color to cover the black. So next time I will most likely go for a lighter primer color.

Shar Dipree
Following!

Mr D
Thanks 👍👍 for letting me know, l built the Yak-3 made by Zvezda, lit was quite nice to build, some of the fine parts were really accurate, but then it was bit gapy around the wing, but otherwise pretty good.

Michael Kohl
Welcome Shar.
Construction and first paint stages of the engines done.

Mr D
Nice to see the update on this one 😀.
The PE parts give a more crisp realistic effect.
Good stuff 👍👍

DuperScale
Awesome, i'll follow

Michael Kohl
Welcome. Another set of blemishes is fixed and the primer coat repaired. A light sanding with grid 1200 ensured a good base for the polishing steps which will be next. No pics as all looks more or less the same.

Landlubber Mike
Hey Michael - really beautiful subject you are modeling here and it's looking fantastic! I thought the fit issues on my JRS-1 made for a complicated build - this kit makes my JRS-1 look like it's a Tamiya kit! You did a really great job getting around that canopy issue and the PE engine fans are a really nice upgrade. Well done!

Alexander Grivonev
Oh man, two steps forward one step back. What, a grind, keep it up!

Ben M
I just finished this book, might be interesting to you: a.co/d/c2WPeYB

Mr D
Good work take's time, it's coming along nicely, good subject.... worth getting how you want it.
Like it 👍👍👍

Michael Kohl
Welcome mates and thanks for your encouragement and tips. Hope to continue in about a week.

Michael Kohl
One round of polishing didn't result yet in the desired effect. So, in for another one.

George Williams
That's a sweet car, chain driven no less.

Jennifer Franklin
There is nice detailing on the engine; overall, the car is nice, too.

Jan Peters
Thanks mates.
Although I'm a petrolhead, I've not built many car models before.
My son is a big fan of racing cars in general, and old Japanese cars in particular. He has asked me to build this one for him.

Neuling
Sehr schön. More pictures please!

Jan Peters
The pictures are of the real car, I have not yet started with the model 😉

Jennifer Franklin
lol, in that case following, you had me super impressed with the car photos I thought were a model build. I though you were that good. Some of the mates on here are that good.

Jan Peters
More on the S800 on my son's Facebook page: facebook.com/1000634..ely/965621152231173/

Jan Peters
Finally made a start on this one.

Jan Peters
Since I have a couple of weeks off work, I have picked up the Honda again.

István Szücs
Great work, I love this car!

Jan Peters
Thanks István

Jennifer Franklin
The Facebook post was a good read; thanks for the reference.

Jan Peters
Thanks, I'll tell my son, it is his page 🙂

Tcamp
Oooooohhhhhh NICE! great worj

Jennifer Franklin
The black rims look great!

Jan Peters
Thanks mates 🙏🏻

Robert Podkoński
Taking my seat here 🙂

Jan Peters
Welcome Robert 🙂

Jan Peters
Meanwhile the body has been painted with a Tamiya rattle can.
Some small dust particles have sneaked into the paint, but nothing serious.

István Szücs
The dashboard looks great!

Ben M
I love these old Hondas. Looking good!

Jan Peters
Thanks mates🙂

Chris Reimann
Very nice progress. Love your attention to the details.

Jan Peters
Thanks Chris🙂

George Williams
It's sure looking good.

Jan Peters
Thanks George 🙂

yngvenett
I'm impressed, so following to see the finished version. Question to @Jan Peters: "Engine bay painted a dirty yellow". Is this some kind of weathering? I'm pretty new and eager to learn

Jan Peters
Thanks 🙂
Yes, the dirtied up yellow is a pre weathering. I like my models dirty, real race cars are never clean

yngvenett
Thanks 👍 do you know if there's a video on YouTube or somewhere else I can learn how to do what you did? It looks very realistic

Christian W
This idea with the small diorama is pretty! Well built and presented.

Brent Caughy
Thanks. I find the small scale models look a little lonely just sitting somewhere. Dollar stores often have containers etc. that work well as cases. This one is a butter dish. Many of these I have done are movie cars. My wife has a large collection of movies on disc. I display them with the movies. This one sits with the 007 Blu-rays. My Mini is next to the Italian job.

Mr D
Very nice like it....looks like the 1st n the best 007 Mr bond there.👍 Very nice 👌😃

Christian W
That is a cool idea to combine the DVDs / movies with a propper model.

Robert Podkoński
Great!

Neuling
Nice!

George Williams
Very nice modelling, especially in this scale.
