Hi, All It's been a while since my last update and indeed, there's some progress in my builds. First of all worth to mention, that the Hayabusa hasn't gotten as much attention lately, as I think she deserves. Lot of other launched builds, including two rather ambitious resin kits, PZL P.7 from Arma Hobby and … Continue reading In the workshop: Ki-43-II Hayabusa | Hasegawa 1:32, part 2

In the workshop: Supermarine Attacker FB.2 | Trumpeter 1:48 – part three
Hi, All Last few weeks have brought some progress with the jet-Spitfire. The Attacker received some paint, as well as the decals, which turned out to be a nightmare as regards to their application. Any attempts to correct their placement right after their application are almost impossible. The film the decals are printed on is … Continue reading In the workshop: Supermarine Attacker FB.2 | Trumpeter 1:48 – part three
In the workshop: Gee Bee R1 | Williams Bros. 1:32
Hi All The next victim will be the Gee Bee R1 from Williams Bros. An oldie, but definitely worth attention and effort. Have bought this kit recently and somehow could not resist to start it - despite there are so many other attractive objects in my stash. OK, so what is inside? One clear sprue … Continue reading In the workshop: Gee Bee R1 | Williams Bros. 1:32

Hi, All In January 2017 I decided to restart old Revell's Spitfire Mk. 22/24 kit, which I started around a year earlier, but gave up temporarily due to its poor fit and lack of detail - and the most important, lack of idea, how to paint it. This time however it was most of all … Continue reading In the gallery: Supermarine Spitfire F Mk.22 | Revell/Matchbox 1:32

Hi All, It's been a while since my last post - not very productive, but managed to get to the end with this little kit from Czech Bilek. The Yakovlev design bureau began to work on an advanced trainer based on the successful Yak-3 fighter in mid-1944. The first prototype designated Yak-UTI or Yak-3UTI … Continue reading In the gallery: Yakovlev Yak-11 | Bilek 1:48

Hi, All Attacker quickly takes its ugly shapes. To get more fine and smooth joints I ended with filling and sanding the top and the bottom of the fuselage... Initially I was hoping, that the fit is perfect OOB, but either it is me, either it is Trumpy's fault, I couldn't make it fit perfectly. … Continue reading In the workshop: Supermarine Attacker FB.2 | Trumpeter 1:48 – part two
In the workshop: Supermarine Attacker FB.2 | Trumpeter 1:48 – part one
Hi All, Decided to start another project (hopefully a quick build), something a little bit different, than usual - a jet airplane. These early jets have always fascinated me: sometimes with strange shapes, strange technical solutions, many dead ends in the aviation technique development. One of such planes is Supermarine Attacker. Who would say that … Continue reading In the workshop: Supermarine Attacker FB.2 | Trumpeter 1:48 – part one
