Thanks for your comments 🙂

Hello, let me present another Hurricane in my collection. This is Karel Kuttelwascher´s plane. There are some doubts about the appearance of the plane. Here is my interpretation. The decals are a combination of Techmod (from the kit) and DK decals. Enjoy...

Very nice. 👍 and good inspiration. Just today ordered a new Mig-21 R from Eduard. But to be honest I also started conversion from MF some time ago, but stopped it due to Eduard´s announcement...

Thanks a lot for your detail answer. I appreciate it. To be honest, at the moment I don´t have BB physically in my hands, but it will be very soon. I am really looking forward to it, even more when I see that someone made big effort to provide thoughtful work and research. Well, (with no surprise) it is new and interesting information for me. Unfortunately it doesn´t allow us to guess some details for another specific Spitfire when studying other pictures from the same production batch. My impression was, that the end of the left wing could be in ocean grey. But of course, if you have high resolution picture, no doubts to have it in DG.

@Skawinski Hello, I understood, you are involved in camouflage schemes creation. Please can you double-check or explain the scheme 12 in Black Box Mk. Vb ? I found this photo: It seems it has the older windshield with outside glass plate. To prove this , there is Spitfire EN765 flown by Karel Mrázek , which should be the same factory batch (EN763 - EN800 Castle Bromwich) and it has outside glass plate. See photos published there: https://www.classictrainers.cz/uws_files/magazin/CT_magazin_2.pdf P.S. Also the left wing colours patern seems to be not accurate (?)

I have question. Why there are missing the pictures what is in the box? Even on IBG home page there are no pictures of real plastic sprues, decals etc.... Only 3D renders. It is more or less general question, because it is quite strange to find real pictures across the whole internet (Rewiews, superhobby, forums etc.) and not on manufacturer´s home page. The good example for it are Eduard´s pages. There are basic pictures what the given box contains, also with camouflage schemes, instructions...

Nice result Marceli 👍

I wonder why there was not used Tamiya kit as base for P-47 M. However, this is phantastic result! 👍 Especially I like the surface wearing. Also the pictures on dark backround are nice.

Again, Thanks to all for your kind comments. I am very happy that it is inspiration for you to build your kits too. Hello Patrick, nice to see your comment. May be you mean that the white decals on dark backround are sometimes a bit transluent. But there is not the case. The white is more or less acceptable. The problem is only for red colour. See picture 🤷‍♂️

Thanks and go ahead 👍👍

Thanks to all for kind comments. I used my own (as usual) mix of Acrylic Tamiya paints. In this case ir was X4 +X18 + very small amounts of X2, X16 and XF-7 (to get apropriate tint) Well, sometimes it happens that we build the same kit with different experiences. I saw one more build in another forum and the modeller quite complained about the kit. So what I can say for sure is, that I had no issues with the belly tank. (Because I didn´t use it ) 😁

Hello, here is my one of "US NAVY Blue" recently finished subject. Special Hobby’s FH-1 Phantom is the only one available on the market and it is a very nice short run. The only struggles were fitting nozzles into fuselage and the decals, as red stripes in the insignia are not opaque due to lack of white base and needs to be replaced or retouched.

It is very nice build. I believe there are some emotions, which moves this one levell higher above "just AN-2 in 1/72"

As I have build M III EA, it is nice to read that M 2000 is the same levell. The modern planes are always tricky to make it accurate in details point of view, because of variety of versions and air forces. So thank you for the description above.

It is awesome Mirage 👍 I like the panel lines and overall ballance of colours. Did you also build the Modelsvit Mirage III ? I am curious about the comparison of building and fitting between them.
