Hi All, Finally I can call this done: Kawasaki Ki-100 I-Koh, white “177” of the 2nd Chutai, 59 Sentai, Ashiya Kiusiu near Fukuoka, 1945. That's how it looked like in October of 1945: This small aircraft has taken more time than I expected - mainly due to late deliveries of some aftermarket products that I considered … Continue reading Kawasaki Ki-100-I Koh Type 5 Fighter | Hasegawa 1:48
Hi All Finally I was able to get back to the Zrinyi. Having ordered a monograph about this assault gun I was hoping to get some data with regard to the interior of the vehicle. The book reached me few days ago... and what a sad surprise - only one photo...

Airbrushed freehand, Lifecolor paints - well diluted, low pressure, nevertheless not easy to use in the airbrush. Not finished yet. Stay tuned, best regards … Continue reading In the workshop: Arsenal VG.36 C1 | Azur 1:48 – Part 7: new camo

The kit entered the production in … Continue reading In the workshop: Arsenal VG.36 C1 | Azur 1:48
Hi All, Another project started recently: Bronco's 40/43 M 'Zrinyi' II 105 mm. What a wonderful kit! Excellent detail and fit (so far, I haven't encountered any of the fit issues described by some other modelers), and it is a really unique subject, not often seen in the Net - on top of that, a really good looking beast. … Continue reading In the workshop: 40/43 M ‘Zrinyi’ II 105 mm | Bronco 1:35
Hi All, No, no - I haven't forgotten about this one 🙂 To be honest, there have been a lot of other interesting projects started recently, so P-51 had to wait a moment for its time. Now, as you can see, it is very close to the final. Just a few things missing or to be corrected. … Continue reading N.A. P-51 D Mustang, 1:48 Tamiya, pt. 7
