So... if the AVI kit is destined for the representation of Major Buang-Ly's plane... I'm also eager to see what the Airfix kit will be...

Łukasz Gliński
You're absolutely right Alex - AVI's going to be Major's BirdDog and Airfix is destined to be boxart DJ-coded one.
I was thinking of Maltese markings for it, but there are none available.
Cuajete, the PE are quite good, but the Airwaves set has quite unclear hand-drawn instructions, which is challenging sometimes.
Nicolas, wish I could fetch the Pavla tail set, I need to try restoring the raised lines after having to remove the injection marks.

Cuajete
Of course the "Club" Piper is lovely. And now comes the BirdDog society, 😉. Great!

Thomas Kolb
Hey, it turned out really nice, especially given the hurdles along the way. I must say, I am very impressed with your determination and ability to reboot a failed project and run it all the way into the finishing line.

Great trio! 👍🏻

Cuajete
Great!

Łukasz Gliński
Thanks y'all, added the Piper Club pics, enjoy 🙂

Cuajete
I think I need a Pipers club like that 😛

Łukasz Gliński
After couple of trials (and errors 😄) I decided to go for MrColor C63 Pink, including some shading of course.
In the meantime I had to strengthen the wings mounting using old airbrush needle.
I hope to finish spraying soon. Yes, I know "soon" is long in this project 🙂

Cuajete
Good idea to recycle a damaged airbrush needle 👌

Łukasz Gliński
Welcome mates!
The golden edition was really rare, I think I bought it like 30 yrs ago? 😄
The paint being really durable, I had to wash it multiple times 😄
And the bluestuff is really cool, I was looking for sth like it for ages 👍

Maciej Bellos
Looking very nice! And the missing part is not missing any more!

Thomas Kolb
That's a cool little model! Well done!

Tony May
Great job Lukasz! Seeing it completed here I had to add it to my wish list so it could appear in a diorama! 👍

Łukasz Gliński
Many thanks mates for digging up my little firetrucks 👍
Erik, I had to scrape them on the Olsztyn one, couldn't find a set with the flat ones.
However the Japanese boxing had many surplus parts, so you might want to check it out.
Bughunter, I heard sth on the news today, thx for the video. That's Istanbul, isn't it?

bughunter
Oops, Sorry - my fault!

Roy McKay
A kit with folding wings option comes after I've finished converting the Fujimi one!

de rien Gael !!! oui tu l'as dit , et je pense qu'on a pas fini de dépenser fin 2024...

Tony May
I should pick myself up one of these & the Eduard set while I still can. I have a pile of aftermarkets reserved over at Moje-Hobby though so it'll have to wait for now... I've really neglected the Italian builds when I really shouldn't be. Besides if this becomes unavailable who knows when Italeri will reissue it?

Mirko Römer
Turkish delight!

Tony May
Does anyone know if the Turkish P.24s or any of their fighters for that matter forced down any allied or axis aircraft over their country, enforcing their neutrality? I've heard plenty of stories about the Swiss doing this but I haven't heard anything about the Turkish doing the same?

@Łukasz I'm looking forward to the next Polish wings to come! I'm so incredibly grateful that IBG & Arma are around now. What a leap in molding technology it has been since PZW & ZTS Plastyk! (Although! I will say that JMK Hobby & Broplan made/make amazing vacuform kits; It's just a shame that Martola broke off their relationship with the manufacturer of the latter. Now Broplan is only available through the Aviation Mega Store out of the Netherlands & they adamantly refuse to ship anything internationally unless it's via UPS.

Neuling
Nice one indeed!

Łukasz Gliński
I think I forgot to post my thanks here for some time 🙂 So here I stand corrected 😉 Your comments are much appreciated 👍

Bernd Grün
Impressive result, Lukasz. Love the look of these desert spits. 👍👌👍 Congratulation!

Łukasz Gliński
Thank you both Patryk & Bernd 👍

Guy Rump
Very nice build! 👍

Łukasz Gliński
Thanks a lot 👍

Cuajete
Great, Łukasz! Summer makes you even stronger 💪

Thomas Kolb
Cool project although I missed the first part! I am reserving my seat.

It would be a rebox of the Airfix model : master194.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=125713 A teaser for those who are waiting for the Hawkeye... Homever, is this a AEW C-47 version in the box? ^_^

Łukasz Gliński
Nice, the livery/camo selection looks good too 👍

Laurent VILLANUEVA "HELLER-forever"
mould AIRFIX

Marius
Very well done Lukasz, I like it very much!

Łukasz Gliński
Oh, thank you very much (for digging out this oldie too) 👍
