You're a truly brave man, Łukasz - but after your build of Thunderjet, I am sure you will manage it perfectly 😉 Keep my fingers crossed, though...

Łukasz Gliński
Well, I have gathered rather a generous supply of Plastic Perfect Putty, so I feel ready.
And still hesitating to go full monty with the PE I have in my stash. 😄

Maciej Bellos
Łukasz man, you are crazy 😉

Moreno Baruffini
Brave man! 👍🏻

Łukasz Gliński
No, I'm not 😛 I just have a huge sentiment for the old kits from the times when I used to be young and handsome 😛

Robert Podkoński
And now you are just handsome, Łukasz? 😉 I understand your sentiment fully here...

Moreno Baruffini
I also understand your sentiment! Good job! 👍🏻

Maciej Bellos
Come on guys we are still young! We are actually still kids, playing with airplanes 😄

In greek you can add a suffix to a noun and the new noun will depict a smaller sized object of the original noun. For example in greek you add -aki at the end of aeroplano (= airplane) and it becomes a little or even tiny airplane. This is sometimes used in a mocking manner. My mother in law uses it quite often, essentialy saying that I am a grown up playing with toys...

Robert and Łukasz, it is kind off like Maciej and Macius.

But yeah, I have bought a Matchbox P-12E a second time, just because it was my first model ever made and for quite some time after that it was hanging from the ceiling, dogfighting with a Matchbox Tomcat.

Łukasz Gliński
Well, we are, indeed. Ahhh, P-12, have to get it one day as well 😄

@Robert: Of course! 😄

Robert Podkoński
LOL 😄
@Maciej - Me guilty too - recently I have bought the original Kovozavody Avia CS-199 from some auction site, just for the same reason 😉

Łukasz Gliński
Now Robert you have to join me and one of our Czech-mates (namely Aleš) and build it too 🙂

Good luck with this birdie! 😄 So nostalgic kit. When I was 11 years old I built this in one day and it was my best model so far with all decals used, right colors and canopy frames painted. Turquoise color of its sprue was neat.

Aleš Štika
I also built this model in the eighties. I love these old kits. I would like to build a PZL-37 lot soon 🙂

Łukasz Gliński
And off we go!
