I really wish that they release that beast in 1:72. Until then I follow the bigger ones. Looking at your first pictures I am sure this will be fun.

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
Welcome @Zsolt and DuperScale and thanks for your interest in this build. I was able to finish first step of cockpit section. 3D printed seats fit well into tracks even of they are designed to be glued on the plastic. I used Eduard PE tracks. Dashboard also made with PE. PE seat belts were planned but I felt they are too flat so I ordered Kelik 3D decals - they are better in my opinion.

@Michael: nice to see you here and glad you have fun 🤩 ICM plans to release the 1/72 in 2025 as far as I know and I have a good idea for a nice diorama. But definitely have to do this in 1/72 ... that thing is really big ...

Michael Kohl
Oh. Didn't know that. Those are good news.
You might be aware of two CH-54-builds in 1:72 based on the ol Revell kit which are absolutely stunning (with fire fighting equipment).
But now it's your stage. Cockpit looks very nice.

I think I know at least one of them 😝 . This build is supposed to be the military version operated in Vietnam - no extras except the tons of aftermarket I´m going to use

gorby
Looks a veeeery promising build! 🙂

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
Thanks @gorby! Let's see what the rest will bring - it's going to be a long way …

gorby
Interesting!
Incidentally, as you keep producing some very interesting subjects I've just had a look at your stash - wow fantastic range of kits, I'm green with envy. 😄

Alex K
I'm in, of course (agreeing with everything Gorby said...)

Robert Podkoński
Thank you, Mates 🙂

J35J
Always in on your builds😀

Robert Podkoński
It is good to have you aboard, J35J. Feel warmly welcomed!

AJMM
Really interested to see how this builds up. It's looking great so far!

Bruce Huxtable
Another space-saver! Wondering what interesting livery will bring this little gem to life? 🙂

Robert Podkoński
Feel warmly welcomed AJMM and Bruce! @Bruce - I like most the most 'exotic' livery - the Manchurian one. @AJMM - I am a bit concerned about the main undercarriage legs, they are very thin.

Łukasz Gliński
Can't miss it, it's on my wishlist too (but in 72nd) 👍

Bruce Huxtable
Hmmm....perhaps display her in flight, Robert?

Ben M

Robert Podkoński
Welcome, Mates! @Bruce - I'm considering this option in fact 😉

Spanjaard
i am in, of course 🙂

Neil
Me too 👀

Robert Podkoński
Feel warmly welcomed, Spanjaard and Neil 🙂 I am back from vacations, so there will be next updates soon 😉

Marko
Well, I'd like to look at that. Worthwhile role model, that will be a nice model👍

Robert Podkoński
It's good to have you aboard, Marko 🙂

Guy Rump
Looking good so far, definitely following. 👍

Robert Podkoński
Thanks, Guy! Feel warmly welcomed 🙂

Zbynek Honzik
Taking a seat, Robert!
What a tiny little plane it will be... Fingers crossed and looking forward to the result! 👍

Robert Podkoński
Welcome, Zbynek 🙂 Tiny it is, indeed... 😉

Welcome, Robin!

Ludvík Kružík
Another great little project is born here 🙂
Of course I can't miss it. 👀

Robert Podkoński
Feel warmly welcomed, Ludviku!

Robert Podkoński
I've been waiting for you, Marcin 😉

AJMM
Bravo. Brilliantly well done and great to see one of these finished. You've done a super job.

Robert Podkoński
Thank you very much, AJMM! You're too kind...

Łukasz Gliński
Niiice 👍 you also did a Bird Dog in 144 without losing your sight? Respect!

gorby
Well that got a "WOW!" from me! A tiny beauty.

Spanjaard
wow, great job!

Robert Podkoński
Thank you all: Spanjaard, Gorby, and Łukasz. Much appreciated 🙂 @Łukasz - I built this Cessna quite a long ago... and it is quite a simple kit. I find it useful as a "size comparison" item to my 1/144th builds 😉

Ludvík Kružík
Very nice model! 👍
Congratulations for successful completion.

Marko
small but nice, great result Robert.👍

Robert Podkoński
Thank you, Ludviku! Thank you, Marko! It was fun to build this.

Guy Rump
Great result Robert! 👍

Robert Podkoński
Thanks, Guy 🙂

Marcin Dudek
An eye-catcher. Congratulagions 👏

Greg Baker
You know I'm a sucker for a nice 1/144 build. Great work!

Robert Podkoński
Thank you both for your kind words, my friends 🙂

Neuling
So small and so beautiful!

Robert Podkoński
Thank you very much, Neuling. You're too kind.

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Great work Robert! 👍 These tiny models sure are something.
I am still curious how the J-20 fits into this. Is this project connected to an airshow?

Robert Podkoński
Thanks, Robin, much appreciated. (Firstly, Manchuria is now a part of China, so it is probable that J-20's are flying over Manchuria as well 😉. Secondly, both models are in 1/144th scale, and I find it interesting to compare the dimensions.)

Robin (WhiteGlint)
I see, thanks for explaining.

Robert Podkoński
🙂

Mr D
Like the Mighty Dragon 👌
Is it a Chinese domestic design?
I'm building a little 1/144 tiger shark at min, quick easy build.
Both looking good 👍👍

Mr James
One of my favourites ww2 aircraft. A nice clean build

Skyhiker
Dave really nice job. Which kit is this? Please attach the kit to the project.

SlaveOfDystopianEducation
On a rainy and humid day, Jack was depending his life or death on a tiny landing craft on the ocean making its way to the enemy's shore. The thunders and the strong waves made him and other soldiers cramped in the narrow space anxious and nauseous. What if the vehicle just gets flipped by the waves? What if it gets spotted by the enemies while they're on water and can't run to anywhere? Jack could tell his fellow comrades were feeling this way by looking at their eyes. But not Jack. He was somebody who never let fear control his action and psychology. His pupils were filled with combinations of energy, rage and hatred instead of horror. Losing his closest buddy to the enemy aircraft bombing in the past, Jack was totally committed to kill as many enemies as possible to avenge. It would be so awesome to make many enemies feel the pain he had to endure with his own hands. At least that's what Jack believed. The shore was now visible. They were almost there. A few bullets from the machine guns hit the metal surface of the vehicle, making loud and sharp noise. Some soldiers fear and Jack's rage only grew.

Jack was ready to fight. He even thought he was ready to die. He was looking directly forward when he heard some noise that was completely unfamiliar. It wasn't the sound from bullets, explosions or engines running. It was something else. The only thing he could tell was that whatever the source is, it was coming from the sky which meant only one thing. Jack tried to ignore the fear which was now settling in his mind and keep looking at the shore. But eventually looked up the sky expecting the sound's source to be friendly artillery or aircrafts. Little did he know he couldn't be more wrong than this. They were Stukas. And they were flying towards the friendly boats.

At the moment Jack found out what they were and that they are coming for him and everyone else, his passionate strength in his eyes started turning into immense shock and awe even he couldn't control just like other soldiers. He had to realize that him and everyone on the craft were now gonna die even before making it to the shore. Sure, he was ready to die but not without killing others. However, the reality was way too harsh to let Jack achieve what he wanted in the war.

Sure enough, everyone heard the loudest gunshot coming from the aircrafts. The Stukas had begun firing. It hit the other boats around before hitting his. Even from dozens of feet away Jack could see the sparkling on the iron and the huge splatters of blood followed by his comrades screaming in agony. Now it was his turn. He stared at the planes looking for more targets then spotting the boat he was in. Tears started coming out of the despair about the fact that this was the end of him just like his buddy and thousands of his country's soldiers who didn't make it. So he didn't even try to hide or stop it. Instead he closed his eyes, hoping there is going to be something better to have in the afterlife if it ever existed.

Dave
Wow, that's a true description of how it must've felt being on the receiving end of that aircraft and its mission

Dave
Skyhiker, I'm sorry I didn't list the kit. But it is 2002 Academy 1/72 scale kit

J35J
Great build! Congrats👍🏻

Skyhiker
That kit looks a lot better than the old Revell kits I have. Can you please attach it to your album.

Guy Rump
Very nice job! 👍

Dave Flitton
Nice build.
