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
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
T-26 Model 1933, Leningrad Front 1942 |Zvezda 1:35

Hi All, Meanwhile, I have started the next project - another little tank, seems to be my favorite size: T-26 Model 1933.

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

Hi All, Few weeks ago I have started a new project: Kawasaki Ki-61-1 Tei from Hasegawa's moulds, a kit no.

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
