Hi All, Finally in the gallery: Messerschmitt Bf-109K-4 W.Nr.332380 "Weisse 12", Fujimi kit 1:48. Slightly aging set from Fujimi was used by me as an exercise in work with resin (QB ehhausts, cockpit fromAires dedicated for Hasegawa, wasn't easy to make it fit). Tail wheel from Eduard's Bf-109 G. I also added launchers Werfer-Granate 21, even though … Continue reading Messerschmitt Bf-109K-4 W.Nr.332380 “Weisse 12” | Fujimi 1:48
Hi All, Some progress made here. Hope you like the shape of this aircraft - I do. The fit so far isn't bad - only a little filler was necessary. Stay tuned, best Hubert
Almost done :), so stay tuned - the gallery will be posted soon. Considering it is an old Fujimi kit, I think it still looks the part. Best, Hubert
Hi All, Bcause the first Hien left me a bit unsatisfied, to the workshop goes the Kawasaki Ki-61-I Hien from the Hasegawa stables. A large scale this time. In the construction I will use the resin cockpit from Aires, resin exhausts from QB and some scratch-building. Camouflage scheme choice still to be made, but I'm opting to use one … Continue reading In the workshop: Kawasaki Ki-61-I Hien | ST 28 Hasegawa 1:32

Hi All And the decals are on. For the first time I used te homemade decals (Techmod Clear Decal + color laser printer). Conclusions: 1. To make black markings: code letters, numbers, etc. combination of clear Techmod decals and laser printer works perfectly. Just choose the desired font and voila - we have what we want. 2. For the … Continue reading In the workshop: Kawasaki Ki-61-I Tei Hien | Hasegawa 1:48 Part 4
Meanwhile, after considerable thought the work went on - and what a disaster! Because the Gunze's metallic had a tendency to rub off (and use of a polishing cloth did not make much improvement) and I was afraid that when I remove the masks some traces can remain I decided to spray the whole model with acrylic satin varnish. Tests made before that on … Continue reading In the workshop: Kawasaki Ki-61-I Tei Hien | Hasegawa 1:48 Part 3
