Hi All, So we have some progress with the Zrinyi Assault Gun. There are still some etched bits to be glued, and various other trinkets, but it's almost finished. Next will be the interior painting and gluing the hull together. Probably I'll put the firewall and some belongings of the vehicle's interior (seats, boxes, ammunition...) - … Continue reading In the workshop: 40/43 M ‘Zrinyi’ II 105 mm | Bronco 1:35 Part 2

In the workshop: 40/43 M ‘Zrinyi’ II 105 mm | Bronco 1:35
Hi All, Another project started recently: Bronco's 40/43 M 'Zrinyi' II 105 mm. What a wonderful kit! Excellent detail and fit (so far, I haven't encountered any of the fit issues described by some other modelers), and it is a really unique subject, not often seen in the Net - on top of that, a really good looking beast. … Continue reading In the workshop: 40/43 M ‘Zrinyi’ II 105 mm | Bronco 1:35
In the workshop: Kawasaki Ki-61-I Tei Hien | Hasegawa 1:48 Part. 2
Hi All, Meanwhile, I decided to come back to the work on the Hien. As you can see, there's some progress in the painting process: it's been primed, sprayed white/yellow/IJA Grey in appropriate places and masked. Than I sprayed Mr Metal Color 218 Aluminium and I'm quite happy with the result. Now it's time to apply some protecting varnish … Continue reading In the workshop: Kawasaki Ki-61-I Tei Hien | Hasegawa 1:48 Part. 2

In the workshop: Messerschmitt Bf-109K-4 | Fujimi 1:48
Hi All, This one has been tucked away in the cabinet for a few months - I think it's time to give it a chance. In the cockpit it got the resin set from Aires (it is for the Hasegawa kit, but with some modifications the Fujimi's fuselage accepted it quite well). The camouflage will be for Bf … Continue reading In the workshop: Messerschmitt Bf-109K-4 | Fujimi 1:48

Ten as a pair of 5's may also be known as "puppy paws" or "a pair of sunflowers" or "Big John." taking into account that "Dick" is a diminutive for Richard, one can guess that for this play on words the captain, and later Major Richard A. Hewitt has … Continue reading P-51D 44-64147 MX-U ‘Big Dick’ | Tamiya 1:48
N.A. P-51 D Mustang, 1:48 Tamiya, pt. 7
Hi All, No, no - I haven't forgotten about this one 🙂 To be honest, there have been a lot of other interesting projects started recently, so P-51 had to wait a moment for its time. Now, as you can see, it is very close to the final. Just a few things missing or to be corrected. … Continue reading N.A. P-51 D Mustang, 1:48 Tamiya, pt. 7
