It's my first car model project. I think it's a crime, but I decided to paint the model in mica blue over black primer 🙂

If my best were as good as your worst, I would be very happy 🙂👍 A-Model do provide lots of fun challenges 😉

Either you are too kind to me, Bruce, or too harsh to yourself 😉 Your models are much better than mine. Thanks, nevertheless 🙂

Au contraire, Robert. I have yet to try my hand at a bare metal finish, or indeed add fine antennae or rigging. I've only tried a few PE extras, and still only add paint by brush. The finishes you achieve are superb and thus inspirational, and there is never a hint of dodgy filler anywhere 👍👍👍

I saw some of them (including Ford) and they are grate. Plus It is always a nice suprise to discover a machine I have never heard about before.

So many nice builds not to belong to such album 😛 (Ford, Arado, DC-9, Dewoitine, Chaika, Delta, Optica and Saro... where the heck did you find the latter one?! 😮 )
And Eclipse doesn't seem to be such a past build either 😛

Thank you, Mates, much appreciated.
@Lukasz - there are many different reasons to archivize the photos. I am sure you're smart enough to figure it out by yourself (hint - the printed modellers' magazine in the descriptions of some models presented 😉 )

Excellent collection, pictures look good, and models look fantastic. Only thing wrong is the introduction "not so well assembled" 😉

That's a very original collection! I like it very much.
The ones I like the most are the Ford Flivver, AG-4 Crusader, Bristol Racer and of course the Edgley Optica. Awesome pieces! 👏👏👏

Cool little glider! 1:160 seems to be very little as it is not big in bigger scales.

Thank you very much, Philippe and Bughunter. @Philippe - I purchased it when I visited Le Bourget museum for a very first time - they sold AeroBase kits at that time... I heard somewhere that AeroBase kits are now to be purchased in some shop in the underground gallery adjacent to the entrance to the Louvre Museum...
@Bughunter - I plan to build the famous Lilienthal biplane glider soon from the same manufacturer 😉 Its span is about 4 cm actually...so not very small 😉

![](/profiles/img/21997-347-s.jpg)
Long ago I found some Aerobase kits in museums shops in Germany, but I bought only bigger ones. The 1894 glider in 1:48 is still in my stash 😉
25 July, 10:18
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
Lucky you! 🙂 Recently they produced a few fantastic kits...what is even more frustrating, since they are almost impossible to be purchased in Europe...
25 July, 12:33
![](/profiles/img/21997-347-s.jpg)
You can still buy them, international shipping for 12€ sounds fair: aerobase.jp/en/
Oh, some new kits!

My fourth motorcycle project is now complete. After finishing the work, I can conclude that I have problems with polishing. No matter how much I polish, there are still many micro-scratches from the sandpaper. 🙁 This is especially noticeable on the black paint.

Thanks Gorby! This is my second vacu kit build and this time it feels a little bit more straight forward…
My experience so far with vacu kits is that you have to spend a good amount of time on fitting, sanding and putty work to get a nice base for paint and finishing. Also spending quite some time reviewing old photos to get a good picture of the details. This as there is a fair amount of scratch work to get a decent build.

You're a brave man, indeed! I will follow this thread with pleasure, for sure.

These pictures start a build that gives me my first experience with 'Clear Prop' - and they are good ones! The fineness of the shapes, the accuracy of fit and the meaningfulness of the construction steps seem to combine to create a pleasurable building experience!
This plane is also highly interesting: originally derived as a drone for shooting practice from a small civilian predecessor model, hundreds were pulverised in the air. Some of those that survived this use went on to have an amazing career as light sports aircraft and enjoyed great popularity in the 1940s.

![](/profiles/img/21997-347-s.jpg)
Oh, a brand new kit?
It is hard to keep track all your parallel running builds! You speed of building all those birds is simply unbelievable and a great mystery to me!
25 July, 11:44
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
I have the same impressions as Bughunter, frankly speaking 🙂 Following this build for sure.
