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
Porsche off-road vehicles are not an idea that emerged in the 21st century. 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

This is a build I've started some time ago, one of my modeler's dreams that comes true in a now uncommon scale in my workshop: 1:72. This is mainly becouse the subject is hardly available in a larger scale, and if it is, the price is just unacceptable. At least four hundred zlotys (with the … Continue reading Under construction: Lockheed L-14H2 Super Electra | MPM 1:72

In 1936, in connection with Bulgaria's desire to purchase PZL.23 Karaś aircraft, but with the more powerful Gnôme-Rhône 14 Kfs engine they purchased in France, Eng.

The greater weight of the engine used in the … Continue reading PZL.43A | Mirage Hobby 1:48

The model is old (literally, molds not much younger than me) but good Tamiya, assembling this simple set is a real pleasure. Sentimental journey - one of the first models after returning to the hobby was the early version of Type 97. I added the Eureka XXL barrel and towing cable, the Vision Models tracks(it … Continue reading Type 97 Shinhoto Chi-Ha | Tamiya 1:35
