Thomas KolbI have built several of these cool Radar Frescos, but this old model is a very tricky one to build correctly. Have fun and I am sure you will do a great job!
11 January, 07:09
BozoTricky model?
Correct dimensions, fine and many details, discreet engraving, colorful and usable decals, I really don't know what you mean, Thomas.
Good luck, Chris.
11 January, 08:53
Chris SzerzőPlease don't scare me. 😉 But I'm used to making old kits. Not possible - is not possible!
Just lay back, grab beer and chips and watch me struggling. 🙂
12 January, 01:45
Ben MI've built the old KP MiG-15UTI and Su-7. In both cases for some reason the cockpit doesn't go together like the instructions, so fit stuff before gluing. The parts count is low. The surface detailing is nice. The fit is indifferent.
1 12 January, 02:53
Chris SzerzőStrange. I built the cockpit as in the instruction. Fits well. When dried, the instruments panel will be next.
14 January, 22:26
Chris SzerzőFinished this kit. The canopy is an awful mess and I would call it "milky". The rivets are very present. The best way for me is to visit the final kit from a distance of 1 m. Then it looks great. The kit seems to be from 1974 as this is the boxart. And I did use the decals from the box: The Vallejo Aluminium was airbrushed with gloss varnish, then the decals with MicroSet and microSol. Afterwards satin varnish over all.

Ludvík KružíkIt's very nostalgic for me. This model reminds me of my modelling beginnings. 😉

Jakub Fiala SzerzőI started another quick OOB build. After a super small Spitfire, it's a small Bf-109
20 January, 15:09
Michael KohlIn Police Service? Are you kidding me? What did they want to do with it?
Anyway, nice start. Peeking at this one for a nice OOB build too.
21 January, 18:51
Alec KMichael, they used them to keep deluded citizens from leaving the warm embrace of the homeland. And to interdict spies and other Western miscreans. Mostly flown by military pilots, so it was really a part of the Air Force. Czechoslovakia had a similar institution before 1939, primarily to keep Luftwaffe spy planes from infiltrating, and this continued this tradition, just against different enemies.
3 21 January, 19:28
Jakub Fiala SzerzőThank you, gents!
Michael, Alec's explanation is very accurate. There is nothing to add.
Thank you, Alec
1 22 January, 09:12
Jakub Fiala SzerzőThank you, mates!
I completed the main build. The fit of parts is absolutely excellent 👍
2 3 February, 12:29
Thomas Haberl - TH SCALE MODELSinteresting topic and very promising progress Jakub! Taking a seat 🙂
10 February, 09:54
Dave FlittonWatching! I think I should send you my kits to have them built. I can't come close to this one!
10 February, 21:55
BohrmannA quick OOB build @jakub?😉 The construction and paintwork is so well done that you would almost forget that this model is only a few cm tall. The pictures are a feast for the eyes.
17 February, 09:47
Jakub Fiala SzerzőThanks mates, for your comments!
Lukasz, i´m curious too 😄 I wiil try to mix it to match the red color used on decals.
Bohrmann, i thought i would be faster 😄
1 17 February, 13:59
AlbertoIt looks excellent. Love the subtlety of the shading, but you can still definitely see it on the photos. May I ask how you use that Wauchop mix on pic 18?
18 February, 07:44
Jakub Fiala SzerzőThank you, mates!
Alberto, i use ,,wauchop mix´´ and insignia white both the same way. First i spray camouflge color. Then i mix this color with wauchop mix and spray darker patterns (over panel lines and some random rivet lines) Then i do the same with the mix of camo color and white. Finaly, i respray the whole surface with diluted camouflage color to achieve the desired contrast. this procedure can be repeated until you are satisfied.
1 18 February, 12:28
Patrick HagelsteinSo, Wauchop mix is a murky brown to use as a contrasting warm mixing color to the camouflage color? Whereas the white is the color for the bleached variant of that same camouflage color?
18 February, 17:28
Jakub Fiala SzerzőYes Patrick. I am using it this way. And during weathering steps, you may use this black-brown mix to create some dirt using an airbrush gun.
18 February, 18:10
Patrick HagelsteinLooking at your results, this might be a very interesting way to obtain some differentiating shading. Do you have a mixing ratio at hand, so I can give it a try myself? Thanks in advance! 🙂
18 February, 18:44
Jakub Fiala SzerzőI'm sorry Patrick, i'm not able to tell you a mixing ratio. I just mixed some amount of black and brown to create some ,,dirty color". But i think, that it is not very important. For this purpose you just need some dark color. Maybe dark grey will work the same way.
This is how Chris Wauchop use his mix for postshading: chriswauchop.com/201..s-a-kittyhawk-mk-1a/
19 February, 09:54
Patrick HagelsteinNo worries! I'll just mix a dirty brown concoction and experiment a bit. 😉 Thanks for that Kittyhawk link btw!
1 19 February, 14:06
Jakub Fiala SzerzőThank you Alec and Lukasz!
In the end i changed a mix ratio a little bit. So, the final ratio was app: 55% C81 russet
35% H17 cocoa brown
10% LP35 insignia white
25 February, 14:30
CuajeteI agree with Alec and Łukasz. Very nice painting job.
@Jakub, thanks for the red color mix information 👍
2 25 February, 20:18
Jakub Fiala SzerzőThanks mates!
I finished the airbrush gun work and applied a layer of glossy varnish. Now, i´m ready for decals.
2 2 March, 18:45
Zbynek HonzikReally great work, Jakube! Fantastic job with the painting and tonal layers of each shade.
2 March, 21:06
NicolasGreat work so far. I like the paint job, but the decals bring her realy to life. I can't wait to see her finished. 👍
4 March, 07:00
Mark SherwoodA nice looking bird (that is not a euphemism or a double entendre) Jakub. 🤘🥸🤟
4 March, 21:47
Jakub Fiala SzerzőThank you, Mr D! Riveting is not my work. This kit is comletely riveted by the producer
1 5 March, 09:38
BohrmannIt's really fascinating to see how this model is developing, step by step. What strikes me is that you just can't tell that this is a 1/72 scale model, even when you zoom in with the camera., also considering that the ME-109 is a small aircraft in real life. It is just flawless and made with very great care. Should I be told that this is a 1/32 I would have no doubt that it is. Great work!
1 10 March, 14:43
Jakub Fiala SzerzőThank you very much, mates, for your kind comments!
Lukasz, i was definitely more drunk then brave when i was overspraying decals 😄 Of course, i screw it up, so it took two evenings to fix it 😄
1 11 March, 19:57
Zbynek HonzikJakube, it looks really great!
And if I didn't know it is in 1/72, I'd bet it's in 1/48.
1 12 March, 04:39
Thomas KolbThat is what I call beautiful painting! And a very clean and neat build too.
1 15 March, 14:17
bughunterJakub, I must admit I'm a bit tired to see 109, because you see so many on every exhibition. But at least yours got a different livre painted on. And your build and paintwork are, as always, beyond any doubt.
3 2 April, 16:49
Jakub Fiala SzerzőThank you very much, mates, for your kind comments! I really appreciate your support! Bughunter and Zbyněk, I agree with you, 109's are everywhere. But I wanted to have an Avia in this livery in my showcase. Next on the workbench is Morane Saulnier M.S. 406 and then Sopwith Camel. So I believe it won't be that mainstream anymore 😄
2 2 April, 23:58
Jakub Fiala SzerzőI've uploaded all the photos of the finished model. There are probably a bit more than needed, so I hope you won't find it boring to look through them. I have to admit, I'm too lazy to decide which ones to choose 😄
1 3 April, 00:04
CuajeteSimply wonderful... It can't get bored looking at those final pics.
Congrats once again, Jakub!
2 3 April, 17:31

Robert PodkońskiLooks better than the one in the NASM (I've seen her there...). Congrats!
1 1 April, 15:36
Bernhard SchrockAs usual: great job! I like your definition of gloss ("scaled down") 🙂. I do the same to avoid the toy effect. I hope to see more golden age birds in the same manner🙂
1 1 April, 19:05
bughunter SzerzőWhat a wonderful feedback 🙂 Thank you very much mates!
@Robert That are bad news. I thought it looks nice there and also on the high-res pictures of the museum it looks great. But I do not want to ruin my model to display it in the condition of the museum 🙂
It's a real shame that my wheel painting is wrong. I only found a reference picture after the shoes were glued together.

bughunter SzerzőBernhard, your link does not work. But all pics I know show only the tires and not the rims.
The picture I found later shows the complete wheels of Amelias plane during maintenance, see the text here:
flickr.com/photos/ai..m-72157707946474384/
The DoraWings model shows also a bit of the rims.
There were tow types of tires: on thin one, and a optional low pressure tire with thick wheels and bigger wheel pants.
Thank you Giannis! Glad you like it 🙂

Kyle DeHartBeautiful work, my friend. A very sharp build. I love the red and gold paint scheme you went with. Looks terrific on this. Fantastic, as always!

John MulhallGreat work Volker. Your camouflage painting looks really good. What kind of paint did you use?
1 April, 17:39
Volker Beck SzerzőThanks John 🙏 For all RLM colors, I use Mr. Color paints. Mostly the Aqueos paints. I think the variety is quite large, and I've gotten used to using them. There are also easy to work with. I'll continue to use For black and white tones, Tamiya. Also some gray. For the metal colors, I mostly use AK Extreme Metal and also some Mr. Metal Color from Gunze (Mr. Hobby).

Desert Marlin SzerzőI spent the last week working on this one. Still needs a little more weathering, a little touch up and antenna added. Pretty close to complete...
4 April, 02:54
Desert Marlin SzerzőThe Tamiya kit is amazing. The features of having the cowling open (or closed) just by taking the prop off and then removing the closed cowling and replacing it with the open cowling is awesome. I was fretting which way to make the kit, but this is not a choice I had to make. It's made with both options simultaneously and configured as needed for display!
4 April, 03:03
Desert Marlin SzerzőThanks!The mottling is really kinda unpredictable depending on the paint I use. Right now, I am running out of the Model Master Luftwaffe colors so I am switching over to the Mr. Hobby Aqueous colors. They are really fine for sure!

Arnaud HascoetHi! Nice cave and collection! Does your air-brush compressor come from Ali-Express? They sell the same one. Is it good or not?
15 June 2019, 16:50
Rui S SzerzőHi mates,
@ Alec & Roland thank you for your Nice words, apreciated.
@Treehugger, no i think they are osram classic 6500k E27 led value A60 9w =60w cool white 806lm:
google.com/search?q=..imgrc=jv4UmI6z25LORM
As to the floor the colour is good but i wish it add smaller rectificated joints, but that's wat i got so i just try to have footers all the way arround to avoid Losing smal flying pieces.
@ Arnoud, most of My new stuff came from evelbay. This compressors machines are all from China and then several brands give them another name.
It's working well but still i have to test it much more.
15 June 2019, 17:29
coporadoWhat a nice place to be/ work/ relax. Looking at your stash there´s a lot work to do in your cave 🙂
12 October 2020, 05:28

Günther DecockMooie werkruimte en nog een stash voor een tijdje. Zit met hetzelfde probleem 🙂. 👍
12 October 2020, 09:05
Rui S SzerzőThank you mates for your Nice comments, much aprecaited.
@Coporado, it was a storage room, so there are two problems, one does not have natural light or the other does not have running water, but that's what you get. now it is a little different, as I moved the drawer modules over the drawing board.
the stash is much bigger than what i will be able to chew, thanks to evilbay.
@Richmond, Yap another evilbay buy. No problems whatsoever with it.
@ Gunther, the only thing I'm m missing now is a sprayboth. I'm thinking building one myself😉
12 October 2020, 22:13
RichmondI think Plasmo built one from scratch but a work colleague said you have to carefully select the electrical /mechanical parts as they can ignite the fumes

Michael MoerkensGood looking workplace Rui, with a well originised stash. You can spend many happy hours there 🙂
13 October 2020, 20:11
Rui S SzerzőThanks you very much for the heads up 👍. I'm thinking using a WC fan...
13 October 2020, 20:12
coporadoRui, everything is well organized and you made it really nice place to work. For having natural light you might find appropriate lamps on the market. Daylight has a range of 5000 - 6000 Kelvin, which these lamps should cover. You can get them for around 20 EUR. I´m happy with 2 lamps providing that range. Particularly for figure painting I love it. Concerning the airbrush both a bathroom/ WC fan is great. You may just put it behind a filter of a kitchen hood. I did mine the same way, putting it in a wooden box and attached some LED stripes inside around the painting area.
14 October 2020, 05:52
Rui S SzerzőHi Coporado, I'm quite happy with my led lights. I have 3 on the celling, two on the drawing board, and a third (hot and could each with ajustements) in the magnifying glass that i always use because I am seeing worse and worse and I already use 2.5 glasses. i Was talking more about an inclosed space without a glass window.
As to the booth, yes that's what I'm planing and use a conduit directly to the ventilation grilles on the left
14 October 2020, 17:59

@DAVID, não me posso queixar, mas luz exterior e água corrente seria óptimo 😉
Eu gosto bastante dos Italeri, já fiz o Elephant, o RSO, o Opel Blitz e seu atrelado, todos eles tiveram a sua dose de scratch build, mas isso também faz parte do gozo do hobby, certo?
São kits mais antigos que não estão ao nivel de detalhes dos kits actuais, mas lembro-me de ver obras primas feitas com italeris, por exemplo por Verliden e outros mestres 😉
Já para não falar numa óptima relação qualidade/preço ...

@ Marder III, Thx but don't be, this is a storage room 3 stors down from my apartment... But ofcourse I can't complain.
I'm not interested in (well, interested I would be, but making an efort not to) buying more kits now and I've been able to do that, for some years now. So...
Now what I want, it's to take the boxes out, build them and ocuppy the same space with dios 😉

My cave has a ventilation grille on the right, that overlooks the sidewalk. the street doesn't have a lot of traffic, and I put an acrylic on the inside, but even so... not completely free from dust and not a big problem. I don't have to clean it often, Why do you ask?

CaptGPFI loved the pic of your son helping out the most - it's a great bonding exercise - and more importantly, it keeps the hobby alive! 😀. I've managed to get my wife and daughter to participate in a build with me, but still working on the last kid! 😱

Jennifer FranklinI am envious, you had a fantastic space, and now you have an even better space.
5 February 2024, 00:57
Lukas MullerI envy you Rui because I work on a 78x52cm table. This is Kingdom for me 😄
5 February 2024, 11:39
Rui S Szerző@ CaptGPF, I wish I could say it worked, but no, after this kit, he didn't do any more, apparently I couldn't motivate him enough 🙁
@ Jennifer Franklin, Thank you for your words, but in fact the previous space was indoors so it had better conditions, this one is in a storage room and therefore has less natural light but the worst thing is the lack of water, so to wash my hands I have to climb 3 floors, but I shouldn't complain, as this is my own space and of reasonable dimensions 😉
@ Lukas Muller, I understand your envy, so I can't complain. But the most important thing is to have mojo, because any space will do 🙂
@ Mr James, Only between buildings, because I stop to clean and tidy up before starting the next one. During, it is more or less desorganized chaos. 😄

Anthony lfkRui, i really envy your special model workshop...its only a dream for me.

Rui S SzerzőThank you Anthony. Apreciated having this space is Great but also important is the good old mojo 😉
22 March 2024, 22:09
Rui S SzerzőThx Ade,
Yap, can't complain, but at least you have plenty water available 😄

Живко ДжаковGreat workshop. I'm glad to see someone create such a place. I worked at a desk for a long time, but after my older son decided to live independently, a place was found for me in the house as well. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get any of my children involved in the hobby. I've got three. On the other hand, my nephew is already building his sixth plane.

Rui S SzerzőThank you. I'm glad you now have a Nice man cave too. 👍 I've two boys and nether follow the hobby, but I've tried 😉

Rui S Szerző@ Doubtingmango, Thank you. I'm glad you like it.
My brother-in-law gave me his bookshelf and I decided to recycle it, to make a new custom-made display case/vitrine, for our living room (had to convince my wife that it would be acording to her hi standards).
She had to put her doubts (unfounded of course) aside and in the end she ended up giving me 5 stars 😄
Now, I can finish my Mariupol dio (started to work on it again) and must do some more dios 😉 I'm happy 🙂
Even without a carpentry, I always enjoyed working with chipboard (you know, cuting half a mm more, or a mm less, wherever it was) and making custom cabinets.
P.S. Added the items for a scratch spray booth 🤔
1 3 April, 13:06
Rui S SzerzőThank you for your support Lorraine Lin, much appreciated.
As for the spray booth, for many years, whenever I used the airbrush I had intense smells in the house and now in the man cave, but now it's time to stop spreading the fumes from my Humbrol enamels and synthetic thinners around the man cave and surroundings. Now everything will come out through the facade ventilation grill. I hope 🤔
1 3 April, 13:27
Mark SherwoodThat's one impressive work/man/study/studio/cave. But. Where's the fridge packed with cold ones Rui 🤔? 🤟🥸🤘
1 3 April, 17:45
CaptGPFBooks?!?! and non-modelling related ones? Get rid of them Rui! That's prime display space for your builds and dioramas!
1 3 April, 18:13
Rui S SzerzőHi There, @ Mark, the fridge is just under the drawing board;
@ CaptGPF, 😄 😄 😄 That was a photo of my brother-in-law book shelf, and ofcourse he keept the books.
I've just recycled it to make the 5 star display case in the corner of my living room 😉
I chose to use magnets instead of hinges, which allows for a completely tight and dust-free front.
Ok I change the teaser 🙂

Desert MarlinI will have to send a picture of my "bookshelf" with model library...
Here is my "Library":

So I decided to give this kit a go... Supposed to be an easy snap fit. It has very little detail and the overall fit is ...

Projekt: Hawk Mark IX

Ian Doody SzerzőJust picked up the 15" 1/48 Space 1999 Hawk Mk IX Interceptor. Looks to be a very nice kit. Pleasantly surprised at the details, nice heavy plastic. I really wanted a big one of these, and this is the largest I could afford, so far it's well worth the money. Plus I bought it straight from the Gerry Anderson site, as it was cheaper than anywhere else. Thinking about scratching a cockpit interior for it, although in the show it didn't have one. Not sure what version I'll do, pre production, from the episode, or a custom version. But it'll be a fun build.
31 March, 19:55
Ian Doody SzerzőThat's it for today, just basic construction of engine rocket boosters, sponson rockets and painted the inside black, can't be bothered to scratch an interior this time, I'll tint the windows yellow, for a moody 70s look.
1 April, 13:57
Ian Doody SzerzőWhere I'm at so far, added the cockpit glass, slightly tinted. I'm painting anti flash black around the cockpit windows, as this seems logical.
3 April, 01:25
Ian Doody SzerzőThat's me done for today, built and painted the Hawk's Nuclear reactor chamber and main booster rocket.
3 April, 14:21
Ian Doody SzerzőI lied, oddly for me I'm a bit addicted to this one. Fun so far, but now I need a break, not bothered about the obvious seam lines down the lower fuel tanks, as they get covered up by the pannier sponson booster rockets. more tomorrow.

Augie SzerzőSo, as I had put before, we start with a splash of 140, then move to detailing it..
18 November 2024, 08:31
Augie SzerzőWe do the black which I use Hu RC401 for, details picked out with artists pencils (grey and red)
some dirtying of the floor too
18 November 2024, 08:32
Augie SzerzőInstrument panels started, same as the rest of the tub, 140 base, rc401 for the black and then details picked out with a grey artists pencil.
19 November 2024, 00:43
Augie SzerzőSo, fuselage is together with wings and before I go further, its that time to play the colour match dance..
So much so, while listening to some classic Huey Lewis and the News, I came up with new words for one of their songs.
Instead of "And get the honky-tonk blues" Its now "And get the color-match blues
and before you come at me, yes, I know its a cover.
26 November 2024, 18:35
Augie SzerzőLol thanks Martin, I still have no idea why everyone raves about my paint jobs.
26 November 2024, 18:46
Kesa TihoHairy-stick-master......? Sounds like something from an erotic fetish video.... Im sure its some advanced building technique but i think a better name could have been picked..
26 November 2024, 18:47
Augie SzerzőHairy stick is what the masters of the airbrush blow jobs call brushes
26 November 2024, 19:25
Kesa TihoOh alright. thanks. But now i can't get the picture of an airbrush giving someone a blow job out of my head.. thanks.. (btw i agree with Martin, from what ive seen you are very good with paintbrushes.)
26 November 2024, 19:47
Augie SzerzőNow for the most part she's together, started the paint.. Wings first because I wanted to see how the colour choices worked out..
30 November 2024, 15:12
Augie SzerzőProgress is ongoing... however now stripping the paint off for the 3rd time.. having a nightmare with this.
6 December 2024, 13:24
Augie SzerzőWelp, about a half a litre of paint, 5 meters of tape and this is where we're at. never have I had to strip and repaint a model more time's than this one
10 December 2024, 22:54
Spanjaardcockpit is just as I like them to be 🙂 and a vert colorful bird no doubt, I will tag along 🙂
10 December 2024, 23:00
Augie SzerzőThanks Spanjaard, I have some repair work to do in the office, the stripping has caused some damage in there.
10 December 2024, 23:10
Augie SzerzőOh and for those of you insane enough to try and replicate the colour scheme... good luck,
The dark blue is actually a two coat solution to get that colour, first is Airfix (yes seriously) M27, then a thin over coat of Humbrol acrylic 104.
The grey is humbrol 128
Then the other blue is a custom mix which was a nightmare
11 December 2024, 10:24
Augie SzerzőSo, we're nearly there, some minor bleed issues to correct then its ready for gloss coat and decals.
15 December 2024, 03:02
gorbyInteresting camo, although swirly blue would be better camo to blend in with your desk. 😄
1 15 December 2024, 05:08
Augie SzerzőThanks Gorby 🙂 Yeah the camo is unusual which when I saw it, I knew I would have to replicate.
15 December 2024, 18:38
Mr DVery interesting scheme 😀 never seen it before. Nice project, nice model 👍👍
15 December 2024, 21:00
Augie SzerzőI have some to do in that scheme.. good news is I can tell you the colours to use now 🙂
12 January, 02:30
Augie SzerzőSo been so slow with this.. but the small decals are kinda destroying me lol.. so I managed to get a whole bunch done today
