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: PZL. 43 | Mirage Hobby 1:48
The PZL.43 was a Polish light bomber and reconnaissance aircraft designed in the mid-1930s by PZL (Polskie Zakłady Lotnicze) in Warsaw. It was an export development of the PZL.23 Karaś, with extended and widened fuselage and much better engine. Its main user was the Bulgarian Airforce who called it the Chaika (Чайка, gull). However, a … Continue reading In the workshop: PZL. 43 | Mirage Hobby 1:48
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
P-51D 44-64147 MX-U ‘Big Dick’ | Tamiya 1:48
"Big Dick" in the craps is a pair of fives. 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
I-16 Type 24 | Eduard 1:48
Hi All, The subject of this gallery is I-16 Type 24 in 1:48 scale built out of the box from Eduard's Weekend Edition set. Few words need to be written about the camouflage. It is basically out of the box, but in a contrary to popular belief, it does not depict a Safonov's plane. In fact, Safonov had taken … Continue reading I-16 Type 24 | Eduard 1:48
N.A. P-51 D Mustang, 1:48 Tamiya, pt. 6
Hi All, During the weekend my Mustang received the decals. I have to admit that the Print Scale decals passed the exam almost perfectly, responded very well for the Model Master's decal set and sol solution (recommended, works very well). Well enough that I decided not to deal with Montex masks, will be useful elsewhere. It would … Continue reading N.A. P-51 D Mustang, 1:48 Tamiya, pt. 6
Kawasaki Ki-61-I Tei Hien | Hasegawa 1:48
Hi All, Few weeks ago I have started a new project: Kawasaki Ki-61-1 Tei from Hasegawa's moulds, a kit no. JT14 - for those who have not tackled with Hasegawa's Hiens yet it is worth to mention, that unlike Hei versions of their Hien, Tei is almost trouble free. Therefore, Mustang will not be feeling alone … Continue reading Kawasaki Ki-61-I Tei Hien | Hasegawa 1:48
N.A. P-51 D Mustang, 1:48 Tamiya, pt. 5
The Pony has not been forgotten - just going very slowly forward and realy struggling against all odds. AK Interactive metalizers have been sprayed, with subtle variations of shades, from dark to light aluminium on selected panels. Red, white and OD are from Gunze H palette. I think it is definitely closer than farther now. Stay … Continue reading N.A. P-51 D Mustang, 1:48 Tamiya, pt. 5
