Christian BruerPlatz / Eduard A-4 Skyhawk in an in flight display. The Scooter looks quite nice on the ground but really cool in flight. I am a bit curious how it will come out in the end.
Happy Modelling, Christian

Christian BruerThx Spanjaard 🙂 It looks quite nice when in place, but I have one point with the acrylic rod I will use and the hole in the background to hold it. I thought about to place some cotton around it, but I am not sure. But let's see, time and test will tell.
11 July, 18:24
Bruce HuxtableReally neat, and subtle too. Can't wait to see the finished display 🙂

Michael KohlAh. I thought the front had a special shape and wanted to know where you aquired it. But now I see that I was fooled by the white block in front of it.
3 September, 16:08
Christian Bruer@Michael, ok got it. The black wooden base was made by Roland Dörrich Diosockel. I can highly recommend Rolands work.
The background is a photo printed on a 4mm frame done by a online printshop.

Test fitting the intake so as to ensure the paintjob is ok.

Maciej BellosItaleri's F-16 is a rather modest kit, seems quite good for a beginner. For the non beginner however, it poses a challenge in order to be built correctly. At first there is a 2 mm misalignment of the top panels to the rest of the top fuselage half. Then, it seems that the fuselage is bit shorter than a Hasegawa F-16, and finally the radome is also shorter. All that translates to about 3.5 mm shorter overall length than Hasegawa's F-16.
There is also a misalignment of the instrument panel cover.
Since I am not in rescribing yet, I decided to push forward the top of the fuselage part and remove a little bit of plastic where the front of the canopy rests. I also removed the instrument panel cover. All the cockpit interior will be replaced by Hasegawa's cockpit. Italeri's cockpit resembles more a block 1-5 aircraft.
28 July 2016, 21:49
Maciej BellosSlow progress on this one. Hasegawa instrument panel cover has been glued into place. Some dryfiting, still some issues to be sorted.
24 February 2018, 21:44
Maciej BellosCockpit glued in place. The instrument panel is about 1mm away from the instrument panel cover. It just wouldn't squeeze further up. But I am satisfied with the result. The HUD projector lens was constructed with some Micro Krystal Clear and aluminum foil underneath it. It looks ok I think.
Next will be the main wheel bay subassembly. Lot's of dryfitting there, there are some gaps there too.
9 March 2018, 18:45
Maciej BellosThank you Clifford.
One other thing that needs fixing is the engine nozzle. Well, you can't fix it actually...! The F100 engine, built by Pratt and Whitney, has 15 turkey feathers. The F110 engine, built by General Electric, has 12 turkey feathers. Both engine nozzles in Italeri's kit have 14 feathers!!! So I am going to use a nozzle from Hasegawa's kit, since they will be built as Block 40/50 machines.
13 March 2018, 20:23
Maciej BellosWelcome Jos. I have been working on and off. Some wiring has been added to the main wheel bays, maybe I'll post a photo or two. My attention is on the Spangdahlem Viper, I have been working on the bits and pices (canopy, landing gear, seats) left. Yesterday I got her on her feet.
4 January 2019, 08:14
Jos JansenCan't wait for the reveal pics Maciej 😄 👍! For your reference, I build an exotic Viper two years ago:

Good progress, Maciej, can't wait for more 👍

Thank you Robert and welcome!
While waiting for the putty on the Eurofighter to dry, I started tackling the intake. It is the biggest hurdle in this kit.
21 January 2022, 08:24
Maciej BellosIn order to have some decent progress on the intake, I got some work done in the wheel bays. More wiring needed before I glue it in place.
27 March 2022, 12:03
VincentI build this kit not so long ago and I know it's a rough build. You did much more than me to fix the problems. Very nice to follow this.
27 March 2022, 17:42
Maciej BellosYes Vincent it's a rough kit and you did yours justice. You made some nice additions behind the seat as well as the oxygen hose looks good and I will try to copy them.
27 March 2022, 18:00
VincentThanks Maciej. The detail on this kit really needed some scratch building. That was one of the fun parts. Good luck with the rest of your build.
27 March 2022, 18:08
Maciej BellosWelcome Ben!
Thank you Clifford. Since I lost the mojo on the Su-57 for the time being, I grabbed the old builds. The goal on this one is to at least close up the fuselage.
28 March 2022, 11:53
Maciej BellosNot much to brag about after all these days, the right hand side of the wheel bay got its wiring and extra detail. Some wiring will be added when the landing gear will be put in place.
9 April 2022, 07:19
Maciej BellosAfter sanding the outer surfaces of the air intake I dryfitted the hand made upper part of the air duct. The kit doesn't have one so I had to make one. Lots of putty and sanding to follow and painting obviously after that. I think it is a good step forward.
14 April 2022, 18:58
Maciej BellosWelcome Panteli!
Thank you WhiteGlint, still some work to do though.
25 April 2022, 15:00
Maciej BellosMain gear bay done! The battery will be added when the bay will be glued to the fuselage. The rest of the wiring will be added when I attach the legs.
6 May 2022, 22:25
Maciej BellosThank you Clifford! Still smoothing out the filled gaps. The first try was so and so and there are a couple of holes to fill.
12 May 2022, 10:37
Maciej BellosAfter spending summer with touching any piece of plastic, some progress on the intake. The photos fail to show what's happening further deep, but all in all I think it'll do. Some issues here and there, might be sorted out, or might not. I'll see.
25 September 2022, 14:13
Maciej BellosThank you Clifford! I think I have come to an acceptable result on the intake trunk.
Since the paintjob is a wraparound camo, I decided to paint the intake and its surroundings before glueing it in place. Much easier me thinks. I will apply some gloss varnish too so as to have it ready for decals later on.
Next big step will be closing the fuselage and masking the canopy. After that I think it will be a straightforward build.
4 October 2023, 10:03
CaptGPFAgree with Clifford - intakes are perfect. One question - why did you cannibalize a Hasegawa F-16 for an Italeri?
14 March, 22:18
Maciej BellosWelcome Guy!
Thank you CaptGPF. That's a good question. I have 3 Hasegawa twoseaters plus some spare tubs and I have an Aires cockpit to use in one of them. So I used a spare tub and I cut off the front instrument panel cover and used them in the Italeri. Yeah, I know it will a pain fitting the aires tub in the hasegawa, but it will be a great improvement over the hasegawa tubs.
As for cannibalizing the Hasegawa, wait until I start building one of them, it will be a carnage!
15 March, 07:15
Maciej BellosAfter a lot of back and forth, I finally got to glue the intake in place. At first I had to apply a gloss varnish in order to do some line wash. After that I used a satin varnish and then I waited a bit before I went on with the glue. In order to have a good bond, I carefully scraped the paint (kind of nervous with that). Glueing it after that was a piece of cake.
As I suspected, it would have been difficult to paint it if glued unpainted. Quite the effort but I think it was totally worth it.
Welcome Cristian A!

Maciej BellosThank you Seb! I have to pick it up, I've been dragging myself with another project, hoping it would be easier or faster, but it stalled too. Darn!

Jan PetersDutch F16 means following 👀
I gave up on the Esci kit, as I had made to many mistakes during my build. I have regretted it ever since, so maybe I can take some inspiration from yours to pick it up again, or start a new one 🙂

Tony StarkThanks Vincent!

MarkThe boys who, when my motorbike was stolen circa 1981, refused to investigate it as anything other than an insurance scam! Not the brightest folk I've ever met. I'll try not to hold that against your model Sergio, but can't promise. 🙂
3 September 2021, 14:24
Sergio Ordonez🤣🤣🤣
Mark: I've been an AF Para back during my conscription. I really do not love those MP monkeys....
But I selected this one as there are some decals available and there are some parts that must be built from scratch. This will be a preparation for my next Landie: a British Amy EOD one.
Hope your motorbike was not a Royal Enfield or a Triumph or a Norton: this would be a great loss.
3 September 2021, 17:15
MarkYamaha XT250. Absolutely loved that bike. It's been cars and bicycles since that was knicked. If I win the lottery tomorrow, I'll buy this: facebook.com/marketp..25539498668014/?ref=
You probably know that the RAF Police wear a blue beret, but I see the chap in image #6 is wearing a red beret like the Royal Military Police (Army).
3 September 2021, 21:42
Sergio OrdonezYes, I know: this one was a prototipe, it is my second time using Magic Sculpt and I'm still too green.
As you see, the figure is far from being perfect.
5 September 2021, 12:23
Sergio OrdonezThank you very much, Mike, but is a little bot oversized and the mix of green stuff and Magic Sculpt proved to be not as addequate as needed.
I have been modifying figures of the old Italery "british tank troops" box to get cold war british soldiers (as these figures are a little bit smaller than others). I'm afraid 1:35 references for 70-80's british troopers are very limited, so this encouraged me to try modelling. The second try would be better.
6 September 2021, 14:05
Sergio OrdonezI am terrible sorry, Mark: this stupid grammar corrector (is configured for Spanish, not for English). Sorry, I should check better before sending.
7 September 2021, 14:49
Sergio OrdonezRegarding the XT250, if you are looking for one, there are easy to obtain here in Spain under 3000€, and several are for sale. I think import taxes in Britain are around 12% plus VAT and, knowing that your MOT is a logical thing when compared to our ITV system would be relatively easy for you to get a license plate.
I know that Norton well, as there was one in the family. There were a lot of Norton bikes in Northern Spain in the 70s and 80s, but bought second hand from Canary Islands and Gibraltar. Very neglected, as spare parts were scarce. The Govt subsidies for new cars and bikes destroyed the rest and there are few to none survivors now.
Now I am working on getting a Land Rover Wolf from Britain (ex-MoD) for my farming operation. Hope to get one (or at least, pay less on taxes than on buying the Landie). 🤣
7 September 2021, 15:14
MarkNo problem Sergio, I've lost count of the number of times I've got a name wrong online. 🙂
7 September 2021, 19:24
MarkThanks for the tip on the XT250. I've used these sites for modelling research and they may help you find a good landie at a good price:

7 September 2021, 19:30
Sergio OrdonezThank you very much, Mark! I did know the first one, but no clue about the others!
I have one question for you, as you served the RAF in these times... Those guys of the RAF Police, usually have helmets in their vehicles? I mean, back in the 80s (with all this means for good rock music).
8 September 2021, 00:45
MarkRe helmets, I'd say probably not Sergio. The banner picture you use at the top of the project made me laugh at first - never seen RAF Plods running unless running to the mess! 🙂 And very odd to see them with SLRs.
If you didn't do helmets and kitted them with 9mm pistols or SMGs, nobody could argue that it wasn't authentic (* always depending on place/scene). DPM (disruptive pattern material) and ballistic vests as per your banner picture would be correct for Germany and Northern Ireland, but for most of UK mainland I'd expect to see them in RAF blue. UK Bloodhound sites and nuclear bomber sites, are probably best treated as for Germany. There are a lot of variables. Are you modelling any specific place/scene?
8 September 2021, 11:10
Sergio OrdonezI was thinking on RAF Brüggen or RAF Güntersloh. That photo I think was taken on Güntersloh, 1985, when some RAF Police troops try to capture a beer six pack.
Well, also I could change to RAF Blue uniforms (I think the wear caps instead berets, but also they usually patrol on Leyland Sherpa instead Landies).
Regarding the SLR, I found in photographs that whereas Royal Military Police usually appear using Sterling SMGs, RAF Police usually carry SLRs. And in most of photos, RAF monkeys wear INIBA vests. Maybe I should research a little bit more.
8 September 2021, 17:15
Mark"some RAF Police troops try to capture a beer six pack." 😄 😄 😄 Yes, I can see them running for that!
But that photo is a good reference for you - taken where/when you want to set your scene. If anybody argued about the authenticity of your model, you just show them that photo! Anyway our models are our creations and don't have to please anyone but ourself. 👍
8 September 2021, 18:23
Sergio OrdonezWell, in fact, I'll be unable to build an authentic license plate, so you are completely right, Mark. Let's see what we get from here. The RE and the BDU ones will be better, but we need to start from here.
Thanks, Mark!
8 September 2021, 18:44
Sergio OrdonezThank you, mate. Now seems closer to the end. This model is not fit for weathering, as some veterans told me RAFP Landies were neat and cleaned every week, so only small touches will be added, so, apart from some final assembly, this will remain more or less like this.
21 September 2021, 06:19
Sergio OrdonezMark: I think these guys are ready to look for your motorcycle...
21 September 2021, 14:32
MarkIt looks more like they're ready for tea break! 😄 Seriously though, I'm getting goose bumps from photo 33 onward - takes me right back in time. 👍
21 September 2021, 18:49
Sergio OrdonezWell, next one maybe will be an EOD RE one... Breaks are not for tea! 🤣 🤣 🤣
Thank you for your help, Mark. You and other veterans gave me ideas and the impulse to finish this one. After the WK Kafer I thought I had lost my mojo...
21 September 2021, 19:05
Sergio OrdonezWell, the REME EOD team build will be a kind of imagination: I'll mix again some different photographs for the final product. And I just realized that there is no Bowman Radio set available in 1:35 scale, but, let us try. 🤣
22 September 2021, 16:56
Sergio OrdonezNice idea, David: RAF or RN? Royal Navy one is a kind of a heavy project if started from scratch.
9 October, 06:25
Sergio OrdonezDavid, is that a coversion by Accrate Armour? I have the one by Revell for the supoorting of RN Choppers, but It is just an standard Landie.
10 October, 18:21
David TaylorAA do a full kit but it is expensive.Mine is a standard kit modified with styrene card and rods and anything else I could find.
