What a great way to display a jet in flight, love these creative ideas.
I definitely share your appreciation for older models. Was definitely fun to see how you took the time to add a lot of quality detail to your builds. Cheers and happy new year!

Btw, I just happened to watch this fun video about the Fokker D.VII today (your photo #11).
It made me wonder if maybe I am too stupid to fly even a WW1 plane, with all those levers and instruments in the canopy. 😄

šta'stný nový rok, Ludvík! Your projects are truly inspirational, and it has been a joy to watch your scratch building bring these projects to life 🙂 All the best for 2024.

That paint scheme on the Fokker looks so crisp! Very well done. How'd you get it so clean?

Treehugger, thanks for the interesting video on Fokker. The video contains a lot of interesting information. I was intrigued by the explanation of the machine gun's synchronization feature.
I can't judge your ability to pilot the aircraft. It has never been so easy. It also depends on how you judge the whole thing. Compared to today's military aircraft, piloting a Fokker was a trivial matter.

Alex Dovzhanyn, I used decals to "paint" the lozenges. Detailed information (not only about working with lozenge decals) can be found here: Fokker D.VII, Czechoslovak Air Force, WIP | Album by KLuK (1:48).

Album info
I consider the past year 2023 a success from a model perspective. I managed to complete five interesting models. Four models expanded my collection of Czechoslovak Air Force machines. And one model was created as an unconventional alternative to the possibility of building an interesting decoration out of a model.
I like old models that give me a lot of room for modification. On the other hand, they require a lot of time to complete. That's why I consider five finished models in one year a good result.
