  1. 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.
  2. Thank you. I used both: copper, lead and also tin for soldering.
  3. 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
  4. Thank you. Your perhaps right with the black area under canopy, I not Japanese aircraft specialist. The kit manual said cockpit green.
  5. Decals are ok, wash was washed out from the panel lines.
  6. I present my number 2 this year, yes only 2. I bought and inherited several models from a deceased modeller, in one of the boxes was a partially built and pre-painted model that I am presenting now. I finished its construction and repainted it so that all the elements had the same color. The model is about 40 years old, so the decals did not want to come off the paper or stick to the model, a scalpel to remove them and Tamiya decal glue to apply them and Strong Tamiya decal softener helped.
  7. I present my number 3. The model straight from the box, without any additions, stuck together quite nicely, I was positively surprised by the 30-year-old decal, which, thanks to UV (glued to the window for 2 days), lost its yellow color, and then, under the influence of Tamiya liquids, it perfectly settled on model.
  8. This is my first finished kit in 2023. Due to health problems in the family and heavy workload in the company, it took far too long. Special Hobby kit is well known, so nothing new to say. From aftermarket I used: - Syhart decals - very nice but designed for other kit, so I had to adjust or paint elements of the tiger stripes in several places. - Eduard PE exaggeration of form over substance, but we know that. - Eduard Mask, missed element for the reflector on the air intakes. - Quickboost, nice intakes - CMK parts, hm...CMK is a Special Hobby brand: the engine and nozzle do not match the model, the wheels have too large holes in relation to the pivots on the legs - how could this happen? - Master pitot. The rest of the shortcomings and mistakes are my cheerful creations. :evil:
  9. Thank you! Aluminium Gunze MC-218 and Model Master Sealer for Metalizer.
  10. Gloster Meteor FR MK.9 MPM 1/72 (2002 edition). 117 Sqn. First Jet Israeli Defence Forces Air Force Ramat David 1955. At 1.9.55 Capt. Aharon Yoeli intercepted and shoot down two Egyptian DH Vampire. I started this build ca. 2002 with CMK resin parts, was disappointed from the quality and put it back to storage. Some weeks ago, I decided to finish it. Alfred Riedel helped me with decals from the new Special Hobby edition of this kit, so we are... Aftermarket parts from CMK: engine set :pleur4: cockpit, undercarriage set :rougefaché: pitot from MASTER :shock: .
  11. Hello friends, after a break I am back here. Present Pierre H. Clostermann's Tempest. Kit OOB, adds from aftermarket are: exhaust from Quickboost (looks a bit to short) and gun barrels from Master, cocarde are from Xctradecals - have better colours then Academy's.
  12. Good work, but please remove the antenna masts from fuselage, in fact it was a small pin from ca.5cm length!
  13. Thank you. Your'e right, blue and green panels are pre-shading, but this time it is not good visible on the model.
