Jenssimply a feast for the eyes what you conjure up, everything is just right, the burnt tire is so convincing from the design alone that the question arises, really "only" a model ..., breathtaking 👍

Neuling АвторThank you mates! - Olivier, ich wollte einmal keine Tarnfarbe und war von dem Bausatz mit den schön modellierten Feuerwehrleuten fasziniert. - Thomas, a still burning fire would be an eyecatcher, but excedes my modelling skills by far. - Raditz, thank you for the many kind likes!

Mathias Decommere@ Neuling: I challenged myself to take the risk to build two T-26 tanks that are burning on the scène... Have no idea where this will take me🤞😁 but hey... It's worth the try...

Neuling АвторThank you mates, much appreciated! - Mathias, looking forward to your burning tanks, it´s a real challenge! - Bruce, the fire brigade arrived just in time to avoid a fuel fire (thus saving my diorama). - Peerke, it´s an honour for me to hear an active firefighter say that my diorama looks realistic.

Stephen LesleyThis is when the line between reality and modelling becomes blurred. The posing and the scene is so realistic, you can almost smell the smoke! Superb.

Leif Hellström@SCM Data suggestionsI have a bunch of resin kits from the 1970s that were made by various guys in Czechoslovakia. They were not commercial items but mainly just available through trades. There were no brand names but the kits were loosely collectively known as Czech-master, even though actually made by different people.
What brand should these be entered under? There is really no connection to the later CMK (Czech Master Kits). Should I create a new brand, e.g. "Czech-master (Historical)"?

Chrisswe АвторHope I can make it interesting to follow.
The kit doesn't seem very complicated and the Eduard photo etch is mild level. Just the open doors are a new thing for me. They might cause problems when painting and building modules together.
1 20 December 2024, 11:12
Chrisswe АвторI think this project will pick up pace now when I have finished Schleswig-holstein. This is the first ship I build with waterline option and it was very hard to fix the hull seam. I did several cycles of filling, sanding and priming and still it is very visible.
23 February, 09:06
Chrisswe АвторThanks Villiers! My daughter asked me today if I had only built two ships and one small plane after working such a long time. She looked incredulous when I told her that was actually the case🙂

Ingmar StöhrNice progress so far! Overall nice paintjob, but maybe try to use a little less paint on the railings. I see a lot of small paint balls forming there.
11 November 2024, 19:49
Chrisswe АвторThanks for your interest and comments. I did something wrong with the primer when painting the railings which caused the paint balls. Also I'm not great at working with PE yet and the glue residue is often visible even if try to paint over it. All in all I still think I'm making some improvements compared to my last build. Rigging will be my greatest challenge for this build.
11 November 2024, 20:41
Ingmar StöhrAh, ok! Well yes, your glue is visible here an there, but otherwise I find your application of PE is not bad at all! What works for me with railings is to hold them in place with one hand (and tweezers) and with the other hand apply a tiny amount of very thin super glue from a piece of thin copper wire fixed to a toothpick as handle. This will instantly wick into the gap and also instantly fix the railing in place. After that I paint over the seam with the appropriate colour and mostly end up with very nice glue joints.
12 November 2024, 05:43
Chrisswe АвторThat is probably the correct way to do it Ingmar. I find it difficult to only use the thin super glue as it has zero adhesive effect until it bonds. I use super glue gel to fix one end of the railing and then use your method for the rest.
12 November 2024, 08:55
Chrisswe АвторI'm testing a grey-brown panel liner instead of the black one I used for all of my last ship. It looks good closeup but might be to subtle when you look at the whole ship. Is it a bad idea to use anything else than black panel liner even on lighter colours when doing 1:350 scale?
12 November 2024, 09:24
Ingmar StöhrActually super glue should set / cure / stick faster the thinner it is. A gel does lengthen the setting time. I start at one side, place the railing, put a tiny bit of thin super glue at the joint and it will typically set withing 2-3 seconds. Then I move a bit further down, align the PE, put glue there and so on. What also increases the setting time is a larger gap. If the gap ist very small and the glue very thin it will usually literally set instantly.
I like my wash with a lot of contrast. On my modern US Navy builds (kind of a medium gray) I will use blue-black panel line wash from AMIG. On a lighter gray, as with the superstructure on DKM units, that might be a bit to much contrast though.
12 November 2024, 09:47
Chrisswe АвторI will try to master the thin super glue but I think the sticky property of the gel before it cures is very helpful. I can still use gel when gluing where it will not be visible at all.
Another thing I have done differently with this build is to just base paint the details and railings before I attach them to the superstructure and hulI. I will gloss coat, weather, matt coat and oil highlight the superstructure mostly built together but excluding the masts and funnels. I will do the same thing with the hull with everything added except main guns.
I noticed the super glue attacks the paint much more than when everything was already gloss and matt coated before gluing but maybe the end result will be better.
12 November 2024, 16:28
Ingmar StöhrStrange. I never have noticed my glue attacking or damaging the painted surfaces. Usually, I build my ships in sections which get painted separately before final assembly. Also, I always airbrush my railing before gluing it to the model. There will be scratches from tweezers, but for me it is much easier to make some touch-ups than to brush paint the whole railing on the ship.
12 November 2024, 18:39
Chrisswe АвторCould the glue react differently because I use Mr Hobby Lacquer paint this time and Tamiya Acrylic paint for my last build?
13 November 2024, 17:33
Ingmar StöhrHm, I don't know. I basically never use lacquer paint. I only work with acrylic colors - for the normal painting stage. The only 'reaction' I see is that the glue makes a matte surface glossy and therefore changes the shade of the color a bit.
13 November 2024, 20:11
Chrisswe АвторShip is done except rigging. I don't know if I have the skill to do rigging but I will try. Is it really safe to spray super glue acellerator/activator over the model when doing rigging?
31 January, 18:21
Ingmar StöhrNice result! Regarding acellerator: I guess it depends on the type of colors you used. In general I would be careful! On the other hand, why use acellerator at all? For me just using very thin super glue works fine without activator. The thinner the glue and the less you use, the faster it will set / cure. If you want to use activator, dont spray it on, but rather brush on the surface, where you need it. You can apply a tiny amount where you want to glue your rigging - before you apply the glue.
1 1 February, 13:25
Chrisswe АвторThanks Ingmar! I did a single line of rigging on a Spitfire I built recently. I found the first point easy to attach but the second hard and had to redo it several times. I think accelerator could help but I will apply it the careful way you suggest.
1 February, 14:27
CaptGPFLove with what you've done in terms of build details and weathering! Waiting to see the finished product!
1 February, 14:46
Chrisswe АвторThanks for your kind words CaptGPF and Rui! I'm going to try take some better pictures before I risk destroying it by doing rigging.
1 February, 15:13
Rui SI'm sure you'l make a perfect eye catcher model after the rigging 👍 Looking forward.
1 February, 15:23
Chrisswe АвторThanks for the encouragement. Rigging scares me but I don't think I can be a serious ship builder without it.
1 February, 15:30
Chrisswe АвторRigging is going better than I thought so far.
Glue leaves gloss stains. Should I brush paint matt varnish over stains? I read that spraying rigging with varnish is a bad as it makes the lines go slack.
1 2 February, 11:45
gorbyVery nice work so far.
Incidentally, if you go to 'Manage' and the 'Advanced options' you can change the orientation of your photos.
2 February, 11:46
Chrisswe АвторRigging is done. I could say the ship is finished, but I think I will add crew.
6 February, 19:27
Chrisswe АвторThanks Jan! I will try to make some better pictures without my working table clutter.
1 6 February, 19:35
Chrisswe АвторThanks Matti! I'm not entirely satisfied with the result but considering I recently thought I couldn't do it I should be happy.
7 February, 11:24
Chrisswe АвторI have started experimenting with paiting the crew. I think I have made them too dark but need to place them on the ship to decide better.
1 9 February, 09:23
Jan PetersI've recently tried to paint 1/144 crew members for my submarine models, and found this to be near impossible to get right... Now I see you paint these micro figures, which look great 👍🏻
9 February, 12:44
Chrisswe АвторThanks Jan! I'm trying to do an easy painting scheme without too much detail as I need a lot of sailors. I start with a zenithal priming and apply base colours as glazes to keep some contrast. I still think the figures need a wash to make.them look more natural but the brown wash I used made them very dark.
1 9 February, 13:09
Ingmar StöhrI think you did a good job on the rigging! Some of the black beads look a bit out of scale to me and in some areas I would expect sharp bends of the rigging, where you have gentle curves, but overall this looks very good!
9 February, 13:47
Chrisswe АвторThanks Ingmar! I have also identified the two things you mentioned. A third problem is that I made a mess in some places where the line ends on the railing or other deck structures. I will try to do better on Graf Spee which I am currently working on.
1 9 February, 14:53
Ingmar StöhrWell, it is certainly a daunting task and practice is needed. You are on the right path and I'm certain, that your next try will turn out even better! Overall this turns out to be a very fine model!
1 10 February, 08:46
Chrisswe АвторSchleswig-Holstein is comlete! A very fun and sometimes challenging build. I can recommend this kit and the Eduard photo etch for anyone who wants a not too difficult project to improve their shipbuilding skills.
1 24 February, 10:52
CaptGPFFantastic build! I don't think there are enough photos to show off all the details and PE work you put into it!
24 February, 15:14

Leif Hellström@SCM Data suggestionsWhat happens if a conversion kit changes the kit being converted from one topic to another topic? Which topic should the conversion kit be entered under? Both? But it is not a multi item ...
For example, I have somewhere a landing craft conversion kit which changes an LCM(3) to an LCM(6), which are separate topics.

10 April 2021, 09:00
Stefan Fraundorfer АвторThe construction progress on the Enterprise continues slowly but steadily. I need a lot of time to tape the flight deck. The fuselage is completely painted except for the weathering.
21 May 2021, 22:01
Michael PapaySehr gut die Lackierung bis jetzt!
Aber das Flugdeck in seinen drei Einzelteilen? Bekommst da später noch recht große Spalten zwischen den Deckteilen...
23 May 2021, 07:49
Dietmar BogatzkiSehr schöne Fortschritte Stefan, aber mit dem Deck bin ich auch gespannt..
23 May 2021, 08:13
Stefan Fraundorfer АвторDanke Michael und Dietmar, eure Worte motivieren mich.
Das Thema mit dem dreigeteilten Flugdeck habe ich mir auch überlegt und eine Trockenpassung vorgenommen, die recht zufriedenstellend war. Es zeigten sich nur minimale Spalten, die später noch überarbeitet werden müssen.
Ja, das kostet Zeit, aber die Alternative wäre ein vollständiger Zusammenbau des Decks auf dem Rumpf gewesen. Das Modell wird ca. einen Meter lang - da geht einfach die Handlichkeit verloren. Daher habe ich mich entschlossen, alle drei Teile erstmal getrennt zu lackieren.
23 May 2021, 15:52
Oliver ZwienerMeines Erachtens die richtige Entscheidung , ich finde Deine Vorgehensweise nachvollziehbar. Der fehlende Platz für das später fertige Modell hat mich bis heute davon abgehalten, mir den Bausatz samt EDUARD Zubehör anzuschaffen, dafür freue mich umso mehr, hier mit dabei zu sein !!!
24 May 2021, 07:29
Michael PapayDas mit dem Platz ist immer so eine Sache. 1 Meter muss man erst mal rangieren, verständlich. Wenn ich mit meiner da irgendwann mal angekommen bin hab ich eine Werkstadt im Keller die groß genug ist. Nach deine Aktuellen Lackierung zu urteilen würde ich sagen das man es am Ende bei dir nicht sehen wird. 😉
24 May 2021, 18:44
Stefan Fraundorfer АвторMeine Herren, es wird noch ein Weilchen dauern, bis wir wissen, wie genau das dreigeteilte Deck zusammenpassen wird. Mit etwas Nacharbeit rechne ich schon.
Bis dahin habe ich einen Veranlagungstipp für euch: Kauft Aktien von Tamiya - mein Tapeverbrauch ist derzeit gigantisch.

Dietmar BogatzkiUnd die Reelings an der Brücke, verrat mir mal den Trick wie du das hin gekriegt hast.. 👍
14 January 2022, 18:04
Stefan Fraundorfer АвторZach, Oliver and Dietmar - thank you for your motivating comments mates. That gives me a boost for the last meters.
@Dietmar: Eduards Fotoätzteile sind extrem filigran und - zumindest für mich - nicht leicht zu verarbeiten. Ich habe auch bei weitem nicht alle Teile verwendet, weil sie teilweise einfach zu klein und viel zu kompliziert zu verbauen sind. Aber die, die ich verwendet habe, bringen schon eine deutliche Aufwertung des gesamten Modells.
Manche Relings sind sehr lang. Man klebt sie an einer Stelle an und biegt sie anschließend nach dem Verlauf der Plastikteile, wobei die Knickpunkte an den PE-Teilen vorgegeben sind. Dabei stellt sich leider öfters heraus, dass diese nicht unbedingt perfekt passen und sie liegen dann nicht überall genau an der Kante an.
Die gebogenen Relings habe ich vorher mit einem passenden Metallrohr gewalzt, damit sie dich leichter an die Rundungen anlegen.
16 January 2022, 10:35
Dietmar BogatzkiDanke für die Erklärung Stefan, das mit den Relings steht mir demnächst auch bevor..

Stefan Fraundorfer АвторAfter a long time I can finally report something new from the Big E: The 27 airplanes and 3 helicopters of Carrier Air Wing 8, which will later be set up on the deck of the Enterprise, are finally ready. I used Starfighter decals - unfortunately the colored ones were very much out of register, the single-colored ones were okay.
On the pictures you can understand a little how the models were made.
27 January 2023, 18:52
Oliver ZwienerWahnsinn , die Geschwader in 1:350 so detailliert zu lackieren. Das Weathering vom Rumpf ist nicht minder beeindruckend. Freue mich schon auf das Endergebnis !
28 January 2023, 07:17
Stefan Fraundorfer АвторDanke Oliver! Ich habe versucht, alles soweit wie möglich mit dem Airbrush zu lackieren - also auch die Cockpitkanzeln. Ganz ist es mir leider nicht gelungen, die Prowlers und die Hawkeyes war zu kompliziert abzukleben, da musste ich mit dem Pinsel ran - was man auf den Vergrößerungen leider auch deutlich sieht.
29 January 2023, 14:16
Stefan Fraundorfer АвторAfter more than two years of construction, I was finally able to complete the Big E. I am quite satisfied with the result, even if the weathering seems exaggerated in places. This is also due to the sometimes high magnification of the images.
I hope you like the Enterprise too and I wish you a lot of fun with the pictures.
4 April 2023, 20:59
Andrew GledhillBrilliant work mate. I have recently started my CV65 kit too. Unfortunately, I can't afford the £130 for the 2 Eduard Big Ed sets for it. So, I will be building mostly out of the box. I do have extra decals for the ship and aircraft.

Mathias Decommere АвторThank you Mona, that must have been a terrifying experience. The idea would be a fortified position in the Mekong Delta. I'm planning to build a sandback bunker and a piece of ricefield. The M113's will be stationary in a defensive position. Soldiers will be relaxed not knowing what is coming. But the layout is still evolving. Haven't decide the size of the groundwork yet. I'll be starting the diorama base soon... Will be continued 😉
13 October 2024, 08:21
Mathias Decommere АвторThank you Neuling, Spanjaard and Kim! I'm starting the diobase this week!
5 November 2024, 10:35
Mr JamesLooking good Mathias. Lovely work on the M113's. What did you use as the 50 cal casings?
5 November 2024, 12:09
Mathias Decommere АвторThanks Mr James, I used simply the copper of an electric wire. An idea I got from lasercreationworld. It is a bit too narrow, but the overal impression works I think.
5 November 2024, 20:17
Thomas E.Very nice looking vehicles, above all the interior; also the entire scene - I'm very curious about this diorama.
13 November 2024, 10:40
Mathias Decommere АвторThx Rui and Thomas E.! I hope it turns out as I am imagening it!

Pietro De AngelisGood "gardening" work then Mathias,
you will have all my comprehension!🤗
15 January, 15:32
Mathias Decommere АвторI'm experimenting with a thermoplastic called Worbla. This leaf was manually made. Next try is to lasercut it. If this is possible, the possibilities will be endless!!
16 January, 09:52
gorbyI've not heard of Worbla before. This is an interesting video about using it:

Thx!

CaptGPFOMG - I'm so glad I saw this. The M113s are simply stunning! The Dio is really shaping up to be a killer as well - don't know how you havent\'t gone crazy building the palm leaves, but wow!!!!
1 February, 14:53
Mathias Decommere Автор@CaptGPF, thanks man! I cheated a bit on the palmleaves. I lasercutter the leafs in a thermoplast sheet, but there is still a lot of finalising to do offcourse. I don't think this method has been tried before... Also thank you Rui!
1 February, 21:53
Spanjaardcheated? i certainly disagree. you did a great use of what you have at hand. why should you buy the same stuff as aftermarket if you can make your own? 😉 great job
1 1 February, 22:21
CaptGPFTotally agree with Spanjaard - it's not cheating if you make it yourself. Making kits doesn't mean you have to suffer if a more efficient way can be used!
2 February, 16:10
Mathias Decommere АвторThanks for the approval guys! Very excited to see the end result
2 February, 18:44
gorbyLooking excellent so far. The palm trees are the most realistically modelled ones I've seen.

Проект: Hawk Mark IX
14 31 March, 19:49
Ian Doody АвторJust 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 АвторThat'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 АвторWhere 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 АвторThat's me done for today, built and painted the Hawk's Nuclear reactor chamber and main booster rocket.
3 April, 14:21
Ian Doody АвторI 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.
3 April, 17:51
Gareth LloydThanks for the Like on my attempt at this Ian. Your's is shaping up to be way better than mine was (nothing new there 😁). Looking forward to see how you tackle the curve on the Orange section on the nose.
4 April, 18:07
Ian Doody АвторAdded fuel pipework and thruster fuel supply to the underneath, and painted the basic colours for the front of the hull, and the cockpit. I'm painting the anti-glare in front of the cockpit, as without it the pilots would be blind in space, plus I think it looks better. Getting there.
5 April, 18:20
Gareth LloydGorgeous! Did you use any masking at all on the Orange? Or, is your hand so steady to paint those curves that cleanly 😯
5 April, 18:33
Ian Doody АвторYeah Gareth, just painted it by hand with a brush, same as they did on the filming miniature.
1 5 April, 18:38
Ian Doody АвторThat's enough for today. Almost done, decals soon. Just the Solar panels, weapons and the side sponson booster rockets to go. Great kit, lots of fun to build.

Bruce HuxtableThat's a great way to always have space for just one more in your evolving collection 👍 Your friends and their children most be pleased as punch to have such lovely momentos of their visits. I bet your generosity is kick-starting new modellers' hobies 🙂👍
23 October 2021, 20:37
Alec KGreat idea to have built models on hand as giveaways, to infect a new generation 😄 👍
23 October 2021, 22:08
Peter GI just started modeling in January 2021 and am enjoying how the more models you complete the less precious each becomes which permits more experimentation and play.
24 October 2021, 02:34
Robert Podkoński АвторThank you all, Mates, for your kind words.
@Bruce: In fact, one of these boys now assembles Zvezda 1/100 snap-fit tanks himself, and is eager to try more complex kits 🙂
24 October 2021, 10:04
Łukasz GlińskiVery cool. Love these kits too. Let me guess why my Komet is the same set and 'camo'? 😉
24 October 2021, 11:28
Mike SiemersAlso good job getting the kids interested, we need more modelers. Can anyone remember those days of innocence when this was mainly a kids hobby, and you would get a new kit with your allowance, and build the kit in a weekend, and not a bunch of middle aged men spending hundreds of dollars, and weeks and months just building one kit
24 October 2021, 15:26
Bruce HuxtableI can certainly remember trying to clean enamel paint off a cheap brush, on newspaper, and having no idea that thinners or brush cleaner even existed! So many memories of every single kit built 🙂👍
24 October 2021, 15:47
Robert Podkoński Автор@Mike and Bruce - that's why from time to time I just need to assemble some kit not taking care about (too much) detailing and weathering, etc. 😉
24 October 2021, 17:12
Bernd GrünNice build, Robert. A good replica of that yellow wing flyer. Cheers!
24 October 2021, 17:26
RuiYour 'easy ones' build collection is kind like what I am doing with low-cost 1:72 kits to try out different techniques. Most of your builds are on my agenda. 👍
24 October 2021, 17:41
Alex K... and kudos for the latest addition, that lovely (and a personal favorite of mine) SG-38/Eton... 👍 👍 😉

Bruce HuxtableSuch a pleasure to look through your beautifully presented album, Robert.

Bartłomiej RusieckiThis glider is especially important to me because it reminds me of my childhood when my father made a flying version of it. You've done a very good job with it.
10 May 2023, 16:37
Andy BallI heartily endorse this approach!...what a good way to have a diversion and some experimentation...we scientists do it all the time, and it should be applicable to model making!
Excellent standards too!- despite the fact they're 'shake and bakes'...
27 July 2023, 09:06
J35JA very nice collection with a building philosophy that inspires.
Great work!
28 July 2023, 09:45
Simon NagorsnikREally nice Leo!! Good work Robert!
How was the assembly and quality of the kit?
I plan to do the same, only in the version of the Austrian Armed Forces;)
28 July 2023, 14:23
Robert Podkoński АвторThank you, Simon, I feel honoured by your praise 🙂 The kit is simplicity itself, can be assembled in no time. Fit is just perfect - it is almost a snap-fit kit.
28 July 2023, 15:59
Kyriakos VafiadisA really beautiful collection! You reminded me my childhood, when me and my uncle visited his good friend, he always had a nice little gift to give me. He was mainly worked with matchbox 1:76 kits. Thanks for sharing!

Robert Podkoński АвторThanks, Jan 🙂 I just upload here photos of the newly finished kit from time to time...
28 October 2023, 12:40
Robert Podkoński АвторThanks, Łukasz, much appreciated 😉 Generally, printing is quite good - no visible layers and the level of detail is awesome (due to this I lost the tiny rear-view mirror to my carpet monster at the stage of removing the technological supports - I just did not notice it... On the other hand, a few technological supports touch the sides of the cabin - you can easily spot their remains - practically impossible to remove for me. Also the tarpaulin supports and benches are printed together in situ, what makes cleaning the whole compartment a bit difficult. (Of course, one could substitute these supports with pieces of wire... 😉 ). Tracks, wheels and their supports are printed as whole units as well. No transparencies, no decals, of course... Recommended! 😉

BohrmannVery nice inspirational collection. I enjoy browsing through the album. 👍👍
The model in photo 21 and 22, is this a Peugeot Char 1918 37mm tank in 1/72 scale ?
15 April 2024, 08:38

15 April 2024, 14:01
Robert Podkoński АвторIt is a "Box scale" item, Łukasz 😉 No info on the box - some Mates here described it as 1:144 scale model...
11 June 2024, 11:21
Robert Podkoński АвторThank you, Alec. I am not the fan of the story, but I needed to build something quick & easy...
11 June 2024, 16:38
gorbyNice! I really like the Naleszkiewicz JN-1 tailless glider.
(Yes, I did have to look in your 'completed kits' to find out what it is. 😳 )
6 December 2024, 11:56
Robert Podkoński АвторThank you, Gorby! (I suppose most of modellers from Poland would not know it either 😉 )
6 December 2024, 12:39
Spanjaardthat is certainly a unique model... i am sure gorby is already thinking about getting one already 😉
6 December 2024, 13:05
Robert Podkoński АвторThank you all, Mates, for your kind words, I feel honoured 🙂
@Łukasz - on the one hand, this is quite a well-designed and detailed kit, and you even get pre-cut masks for the cabin transparencies. On the other hand - the whole cabin/fuselage part is made of transparent plastic, what makes fitting and glueing the interior parts a bit troublesome. Joining both halves together is tricky too, as the glue must be strong (and there is a risk of fogging when you use a CA glue). Decals have extensive carrier film, are very thin, and grab the surface immediately with almost no chance to correct the placement. Final verdict: recommended 😄
6 December 2024, 13:43
Robert Podkoński АвторThank you, JJ and Alec 🙂 @Alec - actually it was the main reason why there existed only a prototype of this glider 😉
6 December 2024, 16:10
Alex KThumbs up for the new (glider) addition... It just HAD to be a part of your collection! 👍 👍

1 12 December 2024, 02:55
Robert Podkoński АвторThanks for your suggestion, Alex (and kind words 🙂 )... So many models, so little time... Yes, I have this kit on my shelf 😉
12 December 2024, 06:24
Robert Podkoński АвторIn the meantime I've assembled a wee Albatros in unusual livery. I hope you'll like it 😉
9 February, 16:15
Łukasz GlińskiWow, that's tiny 😮 Never understood the idea behind this fake USAF Albatrosses (or aren't they fake?)
9 February, 16:41
Robert Podkoński АвторAs far as I know, this one was really tested by USAF at Edwards:
aftc.af.mil/News/On-..t-test-pilot-school/
9 February, 17:08
Robert Podkoński АвторThis is perhaps the only Eastern-Europe developed warplane tested by USAF that was not the spoil of war (or a defector's plane)...

gorbyThe latest addition in photo 74 looks great although I don't know what it's called. As you build some very obscure aircraft it might be good to give their name with the photos. 🙂
6 April, 13:31
gorbyThanks Robert, that helps. Now I can confidently say that I like the Japanese one which I can't pronounce. 😄
6 April, 14:51
Robert Podkoński АвторLOL 🙂 I needed to assemble a few 'easy' kits to ensure myself that I am able to finish a model (I am a little frustrated with the Lesher Teal...)

Rui S Автор@ James C, thank you for your kind comment. It was born for the Dio so it will end up in it. But I must confess that your words pass my mind 🙂
@ Mathias thx mate, yap I definitely go for it, not sure about the results but that comes with every project, so...
@ Alec K, thx. No need for that. Yap, I built it. You can see the "build log"? in my Mariupol album.
@ Michael, thx, well, this are the photos of the exhibition hall side. The other sides are already a bit damaged for the Dio, so 4 will have to do. If I had a bit more detail in the lower part on this side before weathering, I may change the side ones.

@ Benoit, my pleasure mate, glad you stop by and comment. Thx.
@ Vagabond, glad you liked it. Coming from a professional it feels great. When I was a small boy I liked everything about firefighting trucks. I I remember opening a Christmas present Before Christmas, playing with the remotely controlled semi trailer truck until the truck's steering broke. wrap it up again and wait for better days crying my heart out 😄
@ Jean-Michel Tilquin, thx for your kind words and recognition. Coming from such a talented modeler feels even better.
