Tupolev SB-2 M-100A from ICM in 1:72 scale is a challenge that has been waiting for its time in my workshop for many years. The kit was first purchased at the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century, sold after deciding to abandon the small scale, and bought again this year, out of … Continue reading Tupolev SB-2M-100A | ICM 1:72
Messerschmitt Bf-109 E-4 / B, S9 + GT from 9 / SKG 210, Uffz Werner Ringel (?), Russia, March 1942. The Airfix kit, very poor in detail, so I added some resin accessories from Pavla (it is just necessary, especially the control surfaces and flaps) U-48-35 and U 48-36, Eduard's photo-etched bits in the cockpit, … Continue reading Messerschmitt Bf-109 E-4/B | Airfix 1:48
What a lovely kit, and the aircraft itself. Swift. However, not agile. Very pleasant to build, quite well fit of parts (except for the fuselage and wings joint at the underside). As for the extras, I only put a resin pilot seat from Pavla into the cockpit. The camouflage painted using paper masks cut from the … Continue reading Supermarine Swift FR. Mk5 | Airfix 1:72

So far I have not been attracted to ship modeling. In the past years I've started some Chinese cruiser, Markgraf from ICM, some HB's submarine, but it all was 1: 350 and they got stuck in fairly early stages, then ended up in a quarantine or in a bin. It has changed when I came … Continue reading IJN Soryu | Aoshima AOS14851 | 1/700

Actually, in the 1930s, such vehicles appeared, what is even more interesting - using a hybrid drive (however, google the B-Zug Artillery Tractor phrase, and you will see something completely astonishing produced even earlier). At the end of 1939, at the initiative … Continue reading Porsche Model Typ 100 / VK 30.01 (P) | 1:35 Hobby Boss
