Hi All It's been a while since my last post here, reasons as usual - almost no time for the hobby, list of the started models is growing, so the stash of the unopened boxes. Anyway, I'm struggling to have some things finished, like this particular kit. Indeed, it is not a lucky guy - … Continue reading A long run: PZL. 43 | Mirage Hobby 1:48

The Veterans Day: 1/35th scale Mk. I Male WWI Heavy Battle Tank

Hi, All Honoring Veterans on their Day, have just managed to get the job done last evening. So, here it is. Takom's Mark I makes a good impression right from the first look, basically, it does not require any additions to build into a good replica. However, I was tempted by two changes: the guns … Continue reading The Veterans Day: 1/35th scale Mk. I Male WWI Heavy Battle Tank
In the workshop: Supermarine Attacker FB.2 | Trumpeter 1:48 – part four, almost there, and the Spiteful!

Hi All, Haven't posted a lot lately, as usual - too much work, not enough time for hobby and posting. However, that doesn't mean that nothing is actually happening. At last, had some time to instal the Attacker's undercarriage. The fit of main gear legs to the undercarriage bay resin part was just perfect, as well … Continue reading In the workshop: Supermarine Attacker FB.2 | Trumpeter 1:48 – part four, almost there, and the Spiteful!
In the gallery: Avia B-135 | Planet Models 1:48

In 1936 AVIA's construction team have begun work on a modern low-cost fighter that was to replace the then aging AVIA B-534. The first prototype of the new AVIA B-35, of beautiful and clean lines, was flown on September 28, 1938. As the H-S 12 Y-1000 engine was not ready yet, the weaker Hispano-Suiza 12 … Continue reading In the gallery: Avia B-135 | Planet Models 1:48
In the workshop: Ki-43-II Hayabusa | Hasegawa 1:32, part 2
Hi, All It's been a while since my last update and indeed, there's some progress in my builds. First of all worth to mention, that the Hayabusa hasn't gotten as much attention lately, as I think she deserves. Lot of other launched builds, including two rather ambitious resin kits, PZL P.7 from Arma Hobby and … Continue reading In the workshop: Ki-43-II Hayabusa | Hasegawa 1:32, part 2
Kawasaki Ki-100-I Koh Type 5 Fighter | Hasegawa 1:48

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
In the workshop: 40/43 M ‘Zrinyi’ II 105 mm | Bronco 1:35 Part 3
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... Source: Zrinyi II Assault Howitzer (Armour … Continue reading In the workshop: 40/43 M ‘Zrinyi’ II 105 mm | Bronco 1:35 Part 3
In the workshop: Arsenal VG.36 C1 | Azur 1:48 – Part 7: new camo
Hi All The colours I have chosen for my Arsenal, compared to Lifecolor's and Hataka's authentic colours looked strange... so I decided to repaint it all, to achieve more authentic look. 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
In the workshop: Kawasaki Ki-61-I Hien | ST 28 Hasegawa 1:32 Part 6 – lights
Moving forward, have installed the position lights (these will be painted with Vallejo clear paints), the reflector housing (fit is absolutely perfect, no glue required), corrected the weathering on the tail, the upper surfaces of ailerons and horizontal tail have been painted with well diluted IJA Green - it's a remnant of the original camouflage of … Continue reading In the workshop: Kawasaki Ki-61-I Hien | ST 28 Hasegawa 1:32 Part 6 – lights
In the workshop: Arsenal VG.36 C1 | Azur 1:48
Hi All, To get some "rest" from all the Hiens I made and I'm currently building (there are two more to be honest, Ki-100 from Hasegawa and Ki-61-II Kai from RS Models, both in 1:48th scale) I decided to start something a bit different and more challenging: Azur's VG.36. The kit entered the production in … Continue reading In the workshop: Arsenal VG.36 C1 | Azur 1:48
