In the workshop: Kawasaki Ki-61-I Tei Hien | Hasegawa 1:48 Part 3
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

Hi All, Meanwhile, I decided to come back to the work on the Hien.

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

Hi All, Meanwhile, I have started the next project - another little tank, seems to be my favorite size: T-26 Model 1933. An old kit from Zvezda, updated few years ago with new molded tracks instead of awful rubber made ones. As usual, when one meets the green polystyrene inside the Zvezda's box, should expect that … Continue reading T-26 Model 1933 | 1:35 Zvezda

Hi all, As an exercise in the use of pigments and filters I have used one of my first models in 1:35 scale. This is an aging Tamiya kit, but what must be emphasized is indeed a very good fit of parts and that it is generally very easy to assemble, allowing for a quick completion even if one … Continue reading Sd.Kfz. 141 PzKpfw III Ausf.
