This set up was actually called "28/32-cm-Nebelwerfer 41".
Makes me wonder about the kit accuracy...

2020/21: OOB build of the '05 Revell 1/48 kit.
104 14 May 2020, 15:31

Another beautiful work from you, Neil! I look forward to seeing the completion of this project.
20 September 2021, 21:36

Hi Bruce 🙂 yeah we're almost there 👍 washes all done and she's been matt coated also, so just canopy etc... Thanks for your comment very kind 🙂
29 September 2021, 21:04

Yes, iconic would be a gross understatement. Thanks for commenting Gaston 🙂👍
1 October 2021, 20:36

Nice build on the Spot Neil. You're hand painting the inside of the canopy?!?!?!?!?! Kudos! 👍🥸🤘🥸🤟
1 February 2022, 08:50

i love how you give some detail what a spit was ps it is my favorite plane
4 February 2022, 04:17

Both Merlin powered machines Spit and P-51 are great looking but I have to give the edge to the Spit, just a beautiful bird. Nice build. 👍
25 September 2022, 03:45

Hi John, agreed! Yes, both (with all their various upgrades/engines) are mighty machines indeed. I couldn't bring myself to make the option of the Spit in this kit with clipped wings, it just spoils that iconic shape... When I returned to this hobby in 2019, my first build was a Monogram P-51 - that tells you something as well 😉 Thanks for your comment on my build 🙂
26 September 2022, 10:29

Ha, I know what you mean about the clipped wing Spits. It's like taking a beautiful girl and lopping off her ears. Aerodynamically it made sense but aesthetically it was an atrocity.
6 October 2022, 02:52

Hi all 🙂 I've finally got around to taking 'reveal' pictures for many of my previous build albums. I shall be updating each and including a few build notes in the description too.
Here is my version of the Revell Spitfire kit completed in 2022. Much thanks to all who showed an interest and liked my efforts 👍
16 February 2024, 15:31

Thanks very much John, Rui and Guy, much appreciated 👍 and to all who've liked too.

Academy F-18D
The F18 is now painted, and has a wash applied to give it a bit of a weathered look. Not sure that I am very happy with ...
27 February, 18:03

While I've ben waiting for the varnish to dry on the AMX I made some progress with the F18D. It is going together quite well but some carefully fitting and rubbing down was needed to get the air intakes to fit ok

Pretty well so far,no fitting problems,nothing is glued!The model will be a captured kubelwagen,a OOB build except decals and will be painted Olive Drab.
18 February, 18:54

Continue with the captured project!
Primed all the parts and painted the interior with olive drab.
Next painted the wooden floor and the seats, also made some interior weathering and here we are!
The exterior was painted OD too and decals will follow soon.
That's all for today!
8 March, 17:05

I've built this very same vehicle in 1:72 scale a few years back, thanks to the LM decal set VW Kübelwagen YANK magazine (LM Decals LMX 0085, No) - so I'm watching you tackling this in 1:35 with great interest...
1 8 March, 19:46

Last WIP thiw week with:
-Decals by LM Decals
-Exterior weathering using Mig pigments (light dust&dry mud) and AK pencils
-Wheels ready and weathered as well
-Matt varnish
Some details more and soon will be completed!
Thanks for watching!

There are two problems with this kit:
a) - The kit number. The same number pops up with this Dino 246GT (Fujimi 08256, 1:24). And I think, the number for the GTO is not right because I can't find any kit for sale which is the 288 GTO.
b) - It is said, that the kit contains "AcuStion" photo etched parts but there is nothing written on the box as usually.
Maybe someone can proof this or that.

Hello all, thank you for your kind words, @Roy, I used DEF Model Movie Collection No.2 Jolly Rogers 1978, but only for the vertical stabs and national insignia. Nothing wrong with them, they are quite nice but the original Cartograf's ones were of superior quality.

The instructions say to paint the cockpit FS36241. This may be accurate, but the colour of the Quinta's 3D printed parts is different. So I mixed the same colour and repainted the whole thing.
The difference in colour is very small and the cockpit is much more consistent.
The HUD display is just a simple piece of plastic, not very detailed. I scratchbuilt a new one out of styrene and transfer film.

Build Report Millennium Falcon

I’m very happy about the gold medal.
And, almost more importantly, the falcon returned to its nest in one piece.
266 11 October 2022, 15:17

Hi Jorg, I'm just in the process of getting one of these!...look forward to your build!
22 October 2022, 11:28

Wir ihr sehen könnt bin ich im Moment sehr wankelmütig was mein nächstes Projekt angeht.
Es geht also doch weiter mit dem Falken. 🤦♂️
1 December 2022, 16:09

Schöner Fortschritt, durch die Farben kommt mehr Leben rein, stay on target 😉
25 December 2022, 09:14

Danke Torsten.
Ich werde mit den Filter und Washing Farben noch ein wenig experimentieren um das ganze noch ein bisschen lebendiger zu bekommen. Das kann ich an der Unterseite recht gefahrlos machen, da man die im Diorama kaum sieht.
25 December 2022, 20:37

Was sind das für interessante Halterungen, welche an den Mandibeln sind?
1 January 2023, 11:20

Vielen Dank Männers. 😊
@ Michael
Ich mag unaufgeräumte Arbeitsplätze nicht. Da ist man nur am Suchen.
@Torsten
Das sind selbst gefertigte Aufnahmen für die Mandibeln. So kann ich sie besser anfassen und lackieren. Einfach ein Stück Gewindestange in ein Kunststoff- und Stahlprofil gesteckt und verschraubt.
1 January 2023, 11:54

Sehr schön! Bin auf das Diorama gespannt. Hast du denn den Platz für das fertige Modell schon reserviert?
19 January 2023, 05:43

Danke Chris.
Bei mir kloppen sich die Modelle langsam um die besten Plätze.
19 January 2023, 07:23

You're even building a Diorama for this? Dang. Might need a separate coffee table / display space for this. Looking forward, though, this thing looks great. Recently bought one as well for quite cheap and am looking forward to building it.
19 January 2023, 09:20

Danke Dash.
Da ich sonst Schiffe von über einem Meter Länge baue, kann der hier auf dem Nachttisch Platz nehmen. 🙂
Ja, freu dich drauf, macht echt Spaß den zu bauen.
19 January 2023, 09:51

Oh wow, that diorama idea.... will be... crazy. Really looking forward to that. 😮
2 February 2023, 17:50

This is getting more and more interesting! Looks like a real poorly maintained YT-1300.
2 February 2023, 21:48

Nice that you like it.
True, Han really could have put a little more money into maintaining the Falcon. 😄
3 February 2023, 03:46

Late to the party here, but following along with interest. Great work so far!
10 March 2023, 15:14

Spectacular 👍🏻
Might well be better than the actual film prop - wow - great job and an unending field of details to discover - love the weathering and blaster damage ! 👍🏻
18 March 2023, 14:30

Möge die Macht weiter mit dir sein, Jörg. Bisher sieht der Falke super aus 👍
18 March 2023, 18:15

Jörg, I'm honoured that you thought my little Falcon was a "Sehr schöne Falke", yours is absolut klasse 😊
5 April 2023, 17:40

Bin mal auf das Diorama gespannt, Jörg, aber da wartet mein Falke auch noch drauf..
6 April 2023, 17:09

Und ich erst mal Dietmar.
Mach mir schon einen Kopf wie das Grundgerüst am besten zu realisieren ist.
7 April 2023, 08:04

Stunning. I love the gouge on the underside and the contrast as you flip from the weathered underside to the pristine topside between pic38-39 is a stunning contrast highlighting the work you have put in there. Amazing and inspiring stuff 👍
7 April 2023, 08:11

Q: Unsure if OP said anything about this, but are the LEDs linked in a serie, or are there multiple wires for all the LEDs?
11 April 2023, 10:16

Manny thanks..
Two LEDs each are soldered to a cable, since I only had two outputs, Treehugger.
11 April 2023, 15:12

I have yet to fiddle with LED's for my Enterprise NCC-1701 refit, but I did learn from some place that, if one place LEDs in a serie, then if one LED fail, they all fail. So probably best to have serveral wires around instead of one loop for such LED projects.
Another thing to worry about, is not having the LED die too soon, but I guess that might be just some calibration thing if building all this stuff from scratch.
Heh I invested in a digital power supply for LED projects some years back, but haven't gotten around to using it yet.
11 April 2023, 16:31

I'm not particularly worried about the LEDs.
They won't often be glowing in the finished model. Maybe at an exhibition or when there are visitors. A permanent light is therefore not provided. It's just a nice gimmick for me
12 April 2023, 08:02

Lieber Jörg
Wenn ich meinen Falcon gedrucktbhabe und zusammenbaue, müssen wir 2 uns mal kurz schliessen und reden wegen der Bemalung. Die ist ja wieder Mega von dir!!!
Gruss
Jörg
19 April 2023, 18:54

I meant whether the indicated tunnel is made of cardboard. You have made a design to that effect behind the hawk
20 April 2023, 02:57

Yes is part of the diorama framework and is then made of stable PVC
20 April 2023, 05:14

Very cool! The Falcon looks amazing. 👍
This is promises to be a great presentation too.
20 April 2023, 06:16

Jörg, every time I check on your project is it becoming more and more awesome. It just gets better and better every time.
19 May 2023, 17:04

Outstanding work. Simply the best Falcon I've seen. Movie quality work on display here.
26 May 2023, 10:06

Hoffe das Dio wird genaus super wie dein Falke, Jörg, möge die Macht mit dir sein...
7 July 2023, 17:06

Thank you Torsten.
It's easier for me now too.
At the beginning I really thought that I would never get the huge free space filled 😅
13 August 2023, 09:04

This will be so amazing when done. Quick question, are you planning some sort of protective case for it as well? Or will it sit in a display cabinet?
14 August 2023, 16:25

Thank you.
Like my ships, the model will go under a display case.
14 August 2023, 16:47

The base is getting better and better, it could have been used in the movies!
21 September 2023, 07:41

I am absolutely no fan of all this Star Wars, Treck, Shmeck, Heck stuff. But the way you build up layer upon layer of details into a very convincing composition is fun to watch. I am sure that the result will impress even me.
21 September 2023, 09:18

Thank you guys.
Yes Michael, you have to like that. When I was 10, my father took me to see this film and since then I've been into the stuff, along with warships.
And building this Diroama was simply a challenge for me that I enjoy.
21 September 2023, 12:05

are you planning to bring this beauty to Lingen next year? please say yes 🙂
1 November 2023, 09:13

Thank you.
I actually want to try that. I think the last time I was at the EME was in 2014.
If I get the model ready by then, you can count on me. 😉
1 November 2023, 09:51

I am planning to be there, so i hope to have the pleasure meeting you and seeing this amazing dio! 🙂

This is astounding! If I recall correctly, kit-bashing is also what has been done on the actual Death Star model that was built for the movie in 1977.
22 November 2023, 13:44

Thank you.
Not only the star, but also the falcon were realized with this system.
The guys from ILM were the creators of all of today's aging and scratching methods that we as model makers know and appreciate.
23 November 2023, 08:58

A lot of grey but it is not boring at all to look at! 👀 👍
This looks great, and is full of details.

31 December 2023, 10:46

An amazing build! The Death Star especially! Your dedication, patience, and talent has really been rewarded with this build! Well done!
30 January 2024, 11:44

WOW, this is amazing, absolutely stunning build, cant wait to see it all completed.
30 January 2024, 17:22

Awesome, indescribably fantastic. An appropriate base for the falcon. I'm looking forward to the illuminated finale. 👍👍👍👍👍
30 January 2024, 19:10

truly speechless, this build is one of the best I have seen here, the falcon is magnificent, and with the most incredible base you have made, well, it is just perfect!!
so, it is finished in time for Lingen 2024, right? if all goes to plan, I certainly will look for it there 🙂
4 February 2024, 16:53

Thank you very much people.
Yes Spanjaard, nothing should stand in the way of that. It would be really great if we met there and chatted a little.
5 February 2024, 15:09

ZORIONAK! (congratulations in basque language) GREAT JOB !!!
5 February 2024, 15:17

This is one of the best models I've ever seen! It could go head to head with the real models used during the filming of Star Wars.
7 February 2024, 03:46

Thank you for sharing your build process with us - your work is truly amazing and inspirational!
11 February 2024, 16:34

great to see this beauty again, safe trip to Lingen, great success ahead, I am sure. killing myself for not being able to be there to see it myself....

All my best wishes to you for the competition ahead but, most important, to your wife.
1 10 March, 09:39

Great to see this masterpiece again! I wish you lots of fun and success in Lingen - I have to go there too, especially when I see how many of us will be there.
But above all: all the best to your wife!
1 10 March, 10:28

Thank you for being happy for my wife. That's so nice to hear. ❤️
And thank you all very much for keeping your fingers crossed. I'm very excited.
It's such a shame that we won't be able to meet there Spanjaard
1 10 March, 12:27

I will echo the above comments, best wishes, and good luck ( I don't think you will need it) with the competition, but most importantly, happy thoughts to your wife. I am glad to hear that she is doing well.
2 10 March, 17:22

This looks superb Jörg! A really fantastic job. You must be so pleased with this. Im not ready to start mine yet but I intend to build a bespoke coffee table to fit it in. It will be a diorama of the Mos Eisley space port and have a glass top. More importantly I'm glad to hear your wife is doing well. Life is precious.
2 11 March, 16:28

Thank you for your appreciation of my model and my wife's health. ❤️
This sounds like a fantastic project, and I hope to see your space port posted here as a build report someday.
1 12 March, 03:49

Congratualtions Jörg, fully deserved. That medal really should be much bigger for such an awesome model 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
1 31 March, 07:08

Thank you all three very much.. Haha Gareth, then I wouldn't even know where to place them on the model. 😁
1 31 March, 07:47

My warmest congratulations too - a very well-deserved award! 👍👍👍
2 31 March, 07:50

First. I'm glad the people around you are okay.
Second. Congratulations on the medal!
1 31 March, 10:52

Very kind of you two. I'm very happy about it.
And thank you so much for thinking of my family, Живко Джаков. 😊
31 March, 10:56

Seeing it a Lingen i was even more impressed, it's a "great" model with a well deserved medal
1 31 March, 18:56

And thank you both very much for the congratulations. 😊
Nice that you could see him live, Jan.
1 April, 02:22

Hi Neuling, thanks for your comment, personally, I find that the base is not great and will probably redo it
1 April, 09:00

Good job. But with the coloring, I'm not sure if everything is right. I don't really like the colors, apparently the RAF colors are needed here. And apparently there were no stars on the wing from above.

1 April, 15:56

Hi Denis Dogadov, thanks for your comment. I don't agree with you about the red stars on the upper surfaces of this version. The photo you posted is of an older version, a machine delivered directly from the factory with Soviet markings. In this case, the red stars are not present on the upper surfaces.
In the case of the Airacobra Mark I, like the one in my build, the machine comes from 601 RAF Squadron and wore British markings before arriving in the USSR. It was received by the VVS in late 1941/early 1942, the British markings were covered by Soviet ones.

Thank you Neuling! Had it in my shelf for years, I'm just happy it's done. 🙂 The Miclic boxes had to be scratched as the model lacks not only many details but also decals. At least it helped me to understand the true value of mud and dirt!
12 September 2021, 19:05

Thanks Robert! I've never been to Hogwards actually...so it was just the fun building it. 🙂
1 2 April, 05:07

I enjoyed this kit. Tasks to be aware of: Remove the "ceiling" portion of the glass. It will help the side windows fit better. Test fit the interior and trim the perimeter to keep from splitting your cab halves apart. Be aware of rivets being in the way of the cab running lights. The mirrors a VERY fiddly. They take lots of patience. Wait to check cab to frame alignment before installing front tires/axle.

Nice Zundapp 👍 Looking forward to see your progress in your Dio.
When you can, I trully recomend buying a cheap airbrush and a small compressor. I'm sure, you will like using it 😉
I say cheap becouse to begin airbrushing nowadays there are lot's of cheap airbrushes that work just fine, if you take care of them.
1 27 March, 22:09

Can I just add, yeah you're right, it probably has been a long long time since I have promised i would pick up an airbrush but honestly bud. At the moment I just want to continue brush painting. I want to work on the skill considering I've only just got back into modeling with a year worth of experience. But when I get a chance at making the correct changes to my desk, I will install such a airbrush. 😁 By the way. Glad you like the Zundapp, it isn't finished...yet, I will be adding small foliage details after the diorama is put together. Still got a long way to go. But that is exactly the point. I ain't rushing this.
