Олег ОŁukasz Gliński - Very bad set. All crooked, nothing fits together evenly. When I imagine how much putty is needed...
16 November, 14:07
Robin (WhiteGlint)Good luck with that Salamander, Oleg! Seems to be quite the pain. The Buccaneer looks great. 👍

Romain SablouPicture 8 : I screw up riveting on the second wing. 😅 I was thinking that doubling the number of rivet lines was a good idea on this part of the wing, turned out it wasn't...
I used Tamiya Surfacer to cover everything and start again
8 May, 17:37
Alec KThanks for the explanation. I thought maybe you were implementing some hight end stressed skin technique 🙂. Amazing work all around 👍
9 May, 12:09
Gary VictoryA real pain doing the riveting but so satisfying once it's done. Lovely work Romain.
6 June, 06:54
Romain SablouThank you all for your interest ! This is my first attempt on riveting an all airplane, I wouldn't say it was painful, but rather a looong and sometime tiring job. Overall I really enjoyed the experience and the satisfation when highlighting the rivets with a black wash 👌
6 June, 07:38
Jakub FialaVery nice work, so far. Riveting looks perfect 👍 I´ve just ordered a new release of Edugawa F/G Marauder, so i will look for some inspiration here.
14 June, 18:49
Romain SablouThanks ! Yes, this new release of the F/G version is great news for all Marauder fan 👌
29 June, 17:04
Romain SablouThanks guys, glad to finally paint something after all this preliminary work !
16 July, 14:35
Spanjaardmy respect for somebody who can do a complete riveting of a plane... and you said it was your first? how, that looks truly amazing! beautiful cockpit too!
14 September, 22:17
Romain SablouThank you all ! Yes first time, pretty happy with the result. I received good advices from my French "Sensei" Julien Haccoun 🙏
15 September, 10:15
Gary VictoryTotally echo Roberts's comments. Awesome work so far on this build Romain.
16 October, 07:31
Romain SablouMany thanks everyone ! It means a lot during this time consuming project. The finish is acheived by cleaning and polishing the model prior to paint stage. Then by using well diluted paint for thin and smooth coats of paint.
16 October, 16:10
Gary VictoryNMF finishes are more work, but so much more rewarding when done. Super metallics for me definitely the metals paints available.
17 October, 06:25
CaptGPFAgree with Alex, the invasion stripes are sooowell done. Roman - how are the Mr Hobby metallics compared to the AK Xtreme metals?
17 October, 10:54
Romain SablouThanks mates 🙂
Mr. Hobby Super Metallic pros : much stronger during weathering steps. cons : dilution can be tricky, not much choices in shades.
AK pros : more variety of color , perfect pre dilution for airbrush, cons : very sensitive to solvant during weathering, high drying time.
17 October, 11:13
Tony TonovGreat build, I've been following it from the beginning. Impressive result and attention to details. It is an inspiration for my next model 👍
17 October, 14:30
Gary VictoryAbsolutely love how this build is coming together. Love the paint work Romain.
31 October, 07:15
ClementAt this point, I feel like most of us are just speechless, your work is really awe inspiring!
24 November, 03:38
Sven SchönyanTremendeous work and a extremely good result! What solvent do you use for manipulating the artist pen brushe colours?
24 November, 07:41
Shar DipreeAwesome work. The rivets alone enliven the model immensely and then the great paintwork and conclusive weathering. Very very beauftiful B-26 so far. 👍

BozzerThis is a great kit, I have almost every version of it, in the Revell range. Building up the turbo can be a little tricky, but I don't remember anything too bad about it? Those chrome lights that fit on the back of the sleeper, could've been designed better, to fit? Oh, the tyres are a bit thin, so if you can source some different ones, you will be happy.
27 October, 14:04
Tim PowellYeah, I've got most of the Revell kits. Building this to attach to my Dunkin' Donuts trailer
27 October, 14:30
BozzerI had to build custom drawers, for my trailer storage. With space fastly running out, it was the only solution. As my stash decreases, more shelves will be going up. Now I really need to stop collecting and start building! Looking forward to seeing your trailer on the back of this though 👍
27 October, 15:36
Tim Powellyes....usually do. Otherwise the seam and other imperfections come through. Also did the battery boxes as well
16 November, 01:40
BozzerI gotta admit, they look much better than the kit chrome. I've got a selection of different sized plastic tubes, to make my own tanks. Granted, it's still work, to get them right, but they are noticeable.
Yours look great though. Good job, mate 👍
16 November, 01:52
BozzerThat's an excellent combination!
I love that you used the Texas licence plate. Bob and his buddies, will be grateful for that trailer full of donuts! 😄

Spanjaardgreat reference pictures, i will certainly use them when i get to do my KR500 🙂
4 September 2020, 22:21
MunkyslutBrilliant!
That's how I always remember Korky, 70's tache & big hair!
What an awesome talent, one of my childhood heroes 😉
Great build pix Phil, the details are amazing!
5 September 2020, 14:44
Phil Mjust add a racer and build a small diorama, quite happy with the result.
16 October 2020, 14:19
MunkyslutThat's fantastic Phil! The pic of the dio with the collectors card is just perfect 👍
16 October 2020, 15:04
SpanjaardI wish I knew back in the day that he did run with sunglasses.... it would have avoided the stonned look in my figure 😄 (learning how to paint it correctly probably could have been a solution too 😛 )
15 November, 16:53
Phil Mahah the face of the old tamiya figure are not always easy to paint...it wa kinda cool to add some sunglasses to this model!

It is finished. The wings can be detached and put in transport configuration as seen in this picture.

Björn SvedbergI've started the builsd of the Nakajima B6N Tenzan (Jill) from Hasegawa. The cockpit is finished. 🙂
11 May 2018, 19:32
Björn SvedbergThanks Erik! 🙂 It helps when the kit is so nicely detailed. Didn't use alot of the PE from the Eduard kit.
11 May 2018, 19:49
Erik LeijdensHasegawa always puts a bit more detail in cockpits of Japanese planes it seems! Your talent turned it into a gem 👍
11 May 2018, 20:35
Stefan FraundorferWow this is what I'm calling a nicely detailed, excellent colored and perfect weathered cockpit. Great work so far.
11 May 2018, 21:30
Kerry COXNow that is super impressive Bjorn. 👍
The time and effort to produce these results are simply outstanding mate. 🙂
SALUTE. 👍
11 May 2018, 22:05
Björn SvedbergThank you Marko and Kees! 🙂 I really like this kit. It fits together really well too. Not much putty and sanding. 👍
12 May 2018, 13:01
Björn SvedbergThanks Ed! 🙂
I just took a razor saw to the canopy for the first time to split it open so I can have parts of it open when it's finished. That was a bit hairy, but it went pretty well. Puh! Pictures coming at a later stage.😉
12 May 2018, 21:14
Christian RistitsThat Cockpit looks fantastic, splendid details and very authentic weathering!
13 May 2018, 07:07
Björn SvedbergThanks mates! 🙂 As Thomas mentioned, now I only have to build a plane around it too😉
13 May 2018, 14:39
Björn SvedbergA couple of mood shots as the evening sun is shining in through the window. I've done quite a bit of work during the weekend with the engine and front end assembly and sanding of the fuselage and wings. Next will be masking the canopy and to start laying the camo colors down.
13 May 2018, 19:06
Björn SvedbergThanks James! 🙂
I've finished the painting of the fuselage and wings. I still need to clean up some lines after spraying the yellow, but after that it's time for a clear coat and decals.
14 May 2018, 18:50
Kerry COXI have seen some stunning builds appear here in the hallowed halls of Scale Mates, but this one is destined to be in the hall of fame. 👍
Perfect in every way. SALUTE. 👍
14 May 2018, 22:46
Björn SvedbergThanks Thomas and Kerry! 🙂
@Kerry, You are making me blush😉 Perhaps if I took better pictures you would see all the mistakes I have made along the way. Cheers mate!
15 May 2018, 17:53
Björn SvedbergTodays update. Decals are done and most of the small parts are finished. Only the torpedo left to build. After that its's time for weathering.
15 May 2018, 18:01
Kerry COXBjorn. ! How dare you correct me. !!! I know what I see, and so do all your mates. Now, get back to work. !! :-O We want more of your stunning results. 🙂 🙂 🙂 👍
15 May 2018, 19:12
Björn SvedbergThanks Kerry, Gordon and Clifford! 🙂
I'm working hard, hardly working..😉
16 May 2018, 04:55
Sven SchönyanYou can see your hard work! Really astonishing what you do are doing there. I can remember when I build this kit some 15 years ago... with my first tries in A/C weathering. I can also remember there are some positioning lights on top of the wings. I applied white first and then clear blue and red over it. The contrast is very high so today I would use a light grey or sillver as base colour for them.
16 May 2018, 06:56
Björn SvedbergThank you Sven! 🙂
And also thank you for the tip about the painting of the position lights. 👍
16 May 2018, 07:12
David JanuskaReally nice work, I like it very much. Perfect cockpit and painting, I really like the blue color 🙂.
17 May 2018, 12:45
Björn SvedbergThank you Sören, Miro and David! 🙂
I'm closing in on the finish line. Some detail painting and some more weathering still to do.
17 May 2018, 20:59
Björn SvedbergThanks Essi, James and Sven! 🙂
The Nakajima Jill is now finished! I really liked building and painting this kit. It has alot of nice detail and a great fit.
I decided in the end to glue the wing tips in the flying position as they became too loose otherwise. So no more folding of the wings..
19 May 2018, 05:37
Kerry COXWell Bjorn, I have seen many models pass into Scale Mates history here, but as I said before. This is bound to end up in the "Hall of fame' when one is started.
Just exquisite in every way. Congratulations mate. 🙂 🙂 👍
19 May 2018, 05:54
Jenshello Björn, Japanese are not my prey, and yet from to the model a WOW, great work 👍 👍 👍
19 May 2018, 06:14
Björn SvedbergThank you Kerry, Jens and James! I'm really happy that you guys like it! 🙂
19 May 2018, 07:22
Björn SvedbergThanks again Kerry! Your enthusiasm is truly inspiring! 👍 I'll have to start looking for something else to build.😉 It looks like it will be a Wildcat..
19 May 2018, 09:00
Jensscalemates.com/kits/1013727-..9183-supermarine-walrus-mk-i
my suggestion, it will take more time 😉 🙂
19 May 2018, 09:16
Björn SvedbergThanks Erik! 🙂
@Jens, are you trying to slow me down?! 😄
It looks like really nice kit, and I love flying boats. 👍
19 May 2018, 10:50
Thomas BischoffLooks great Björn! Pitty the wings can't be folded anymore - I liked the look of it with wings folded - reminded me of a bird at rest
19 May 2018, 12:56
Björn SvedbergThank you Sören, Thomas and Timothy! 🙂
@Thomas Me too. I probably could have saved it with a little better prep work and perhaps a steel rod instead of the plastic. I only had to glue one of the wings, though, so it can still make a salute _o7.😉
19 May 2018, 14:47
Miro HeroldThe result is outstanding. I admit with the decent weatering. The Details with the flaps and folding wings are beautiful.
20 May 2018, 14:32
Björn SvedbergThank you Miro! It means a lot! 🙂
Watching your builds inspires me to build more Japanese planes. They are beautiful! 👍
20 May 2018, 17:13
Roland SachsenhoferWonderful build Björn! Did see that beauty too late- would have liked to follow these great build. Cockpit looks gorgeous!
20 May 2018, 17:41
Kerry COXBjörn. Take a deep deep bow mate, as you have certainly made your mark with this amazing build. Have no doubts. 👍
22 May 2018, 02:36
Björn SvedbergThank you gentlemen! I'm taking a bow to you guys for being so nice! I really appreciate it! 👍 🙂
22 May 2018, 21:02
Björn SvedbergSorry, Dave for not answering your question earlier. I've been taking a break from model building for a couple of months.
The wash I used for the top side is a simple oil wash made with Abteilungs ABT155 Light sand and Tamiya X-20 Enamel thinner.
Good luck with your build! 🙂
25 July 2020, 12:56
Andrea MorrisActually your timing is perfect. I've just applied the clear coat so she is ready for a wash! A great build, thanks for the inspiration 🙂
25 July 2020, 15:18
Paul ReddmeisterVery nice job Bjorn. Is it possible to just leave the cowl off or open ie I plan to buy the PE detail kit and it would be a pity to hide that engine. Cheers
9 August 2022, 09:01
Björn SvedbergThank you very much mates! 🙂
@Paul, I uploaded an image from the instructions (no 49) so you can see the assembly of the engine and the cowl. I hope that answers your question.
9 August 2022, 20:02
Sadek KhalidiImponerande fin och ren jobb!
Ser supercool ut, definitivt en modell som jag vill bygga.
Fin vädring också. Använder Du akryl?
17 August 2022, 18:13
Kerry COXNo more to add to my other comments, but a big well done and you should be proud of your effort. Salute. ! 🙂 👍
17 August 2022, 21:14
Björn SvedbergThank you mates! 🙂
@Sadek Jag gör lite dry-brushing med akryl, men alla washes är oljefärgsbaserade.
19 August 2022, 19:03
Sadek KhalidiDen blev superfin. Jag gillar specielt delikat chipping som Du har gjort, mycket återhållen och ser realistisk ut.
Hälsn.
31 October 2023, 04:27
Kerry COXHow wonderful to see your superb work back with the finishing touches. 🙂
IIt just so happens I have just started a 1/72 scale 'Val' that will eventually end up as part of my Takom 1/72 flight deck of the 'Ikagi' on her way to bomb Pearl harbor, along with 3 Zero's, and 2 Kates. and a deck flight crew of 50 figures waving them off. !
Seeing your exceptional detail work, it has inspired me to the best I can with what I have on my workbench that I hope will look good here on Scale mates.
Thanks again for posting your treasured build for us and the new ones here to marvel and soke in your talent.
Cheers.
Kezza. 👍 🙂
23 November, 01:19
Björn SvedbergThanks Mates! It's been a while since I built something now, but hopefully I will get some time for a new project during the winter 🙂
24 November, 07:45
Björn Svedberg@Kerry COX
You are always so nice and generous with your comments, Thank you again! 👍
I'll be sure to follow your build of both the "Val" and the Akagi flight deck, it sounds epic in 1/72. 🙂
