I finished this conversion. Decals are thick and unfortunately it can be seen. Tori manual show wrong camouflage for Polish aircraft, so it is better to look at pictures of the original plane. Based on experience with this conversion, I will work more careful at the FA-50PL.

T-50 Academy model valorization and conversion kits from Tori Factory from South Korea. Thanks to the courtesy of Adam Han, I was able to purchase 3 kits that allow me to convert the Academy snap kit into a full- model. TF sets are resin prints with delicate details and minimal raster on some elements. The TF-B13 kit is designed to install the missing landing gears in the Academ model and is designed for both the T-50 and the FA-50. The set includes: main landing gear compartment, legs with wheels (which is not a good solution, but they are easy to separate), part of the front landing gear compartment with the wheel and leg. The TF-B21 kit is designed to convert the T-50 to the FA-50PH/GF and includes all the elements that distinguish the FA-50 PH/GF from the T-50: weapon pylons, sensors and antennas, cannon socket, stabilizer, Meverick and Sidewinder. In addition, we have two nice pilot figures. The TF-B23 set is dedicated to the FA-50 PL/M version, the differences from the TF-B21 are an additional Sniper pod, a refueling probe and AMRAAM missiles. Both conversion kits contain nice decals, in the B21 set for Polish and Filipino machines, and in the B-23 for Polish and Malaysian machines. I recommend these kits to everyone who wants to build the FA-50 PH/GF or FA-50PL/M model and valorize the chassis, which is completely missing in the T-50 model. Adam Han thank you for helping me get these kits!

Hello, my number 11 this year. In fact started last year or even two years ago. Last 3 days I painted and finished it. Canopy doesn't fit well, but in the end is done. Old decals worked well.

Hello, this SBS kit is very nice, I needed 3 days to finish it. It is waiting for panel wash at control surfaces, but I have to go on a business trip for whole week, so decided to show you how it is. Painted with nitro based Bilmodel paints - dry in 5 minutes.

Like many of you, I have my own projects started years ago, which are waiting to be completed. One of them is this Ni-11, started in the late 1990s. At that time, I glued and painted only the interior from photo-etched sheets from the Part company. At first, it was supposed to be a plane of the Tsarist Air Force, but it ended up being a Ukrainian one. In 1919, the young Ukrainian state fought with the red and white Russians and in the east with Poland. There were several Polish-Ukrainian air duels then - this is how this Bebe entered the framework of my collection. Toko decals, as everyone knows, are very fragile, fortunately only the fin flash fell apart here, unfortunately the number on it is strangely printed with a rectangular base, which significantly disfigures the model. The frame for the rifle, was not suitable for use, I made a new one from scratch. These are the 10th models completed this year.

You are so kind! Thank you!

Hi Davide, before decals I sprayed the kit gloss with Tamiya paint, after decal job I sprayed whole kit with semi gloss self made mixture based on Gunze GX matt clear. At the pictures it looks much more glossy then in nature. Cheers Jerzy

Today a day off, so I finished this Beau. Base kit is Airfix with CMK conversion set for MK.II and Aires cockpit designed for Hasegawa MK.VI, need a bit work. I decided for the plane from the Polish night fighter squadron 307 "Lwowskich Puchaczy" with the code EWoA - like my wife's name. Haven't found any pictures of this plane showing the parallel antennas on right wing, the some for the IFF wire antennas, so they are missing here. I am not happy with the painting, I haven't right eye for. Using black surfacer as base and tire black, different NATO blacks from different brands, pigments for gun's smoke and exhaust... PE antennas from CMK are very fragile, one was damaged (that in the nose). One of the landing light reflectors I added under the Airfix glass partit fell off while I was taking the pictures, some kind of fate is haunting me this year.

Thank you, I used MRP 242 FS 36473 Sky Grey it is in fact semi gloss paint.

I finished my kit nr 7 in 2025, in fact started this project longer time ago. Used: Pavla cockpit, Master pitot, Eduard mirrors. Scratch wheel bay walls, new IR sensor, CMK position lights, AIM-4 Falcon from Reskit. Painted with Mr.Hobby and MRP.

Thank you. It shows a prototype, not operational used.

Thank you! I think, I will fix the He-219 on a base. I do it often.

I already built years ago a P-38 and P-61 - my has twisted tail.

Hi Friends! Monday I finished my number 6 in 2025. Do-335A from Dragon in 1/72 scale. From aftermarket I used: - Quinta 3D decals for cockpit - Revi gun sight from Quickboost - Reskit wheels - Master gun barrels, pitot and IFF Decals from Dragon has cream instead of white color, I used crosses from old Heller Bf-109K and swastika from Fujimi Ju-87D, number 102 from a generic set with German numbers. Painted with Mr.Hobby RLM76, 70 and 66, Hataka RLM 81 and 82, wash neutral brown from Ammo, mask for glass parts KV MODELS - very nice even vinyl, flexible and good glue. Again I am disappointed from the quality of Dragon kit, even the diameter of the prop shaft was bigger then the dedicated hole 8| I have still following Dragon kits to build: Ar-234, P-38J, P-38 Pathfinder, P-61 and He-219.

Thank you all!

Thank you guys!

I have very long break last year, only one kit finished in 2024. Hope that this year will be better. First finished kit in 2025. Resin from SBS in 1/72 scale. Canopy is wider then fuselage, the only problem with kit parts. For that blue I used Gunze H-5, but I think a darker blue will be better.

Thank you very much for your kind words. Cockpit is set without any changes from CMK, including cable. In the case of the engine it is tin wires that I painted.

Hi, thank you! I used Mr.Hobby MC-218 Aluminium

I thank you all for the good words.

Thank you. I used both: copper, lead and also tin for soldering.

I am glad to present my first model completed this year. The construction took several years, as I made a significant portion of the fuselage interior from scratch and made several modifications to the bomb bay and landing gear. Initially, I planned to use a set with CMK engines, but unfortunately the content of this set and its quality are very low, it required many modifications. some WIP pictures
