  1. Another (3) finished model this year. Unfortunately, the Revell moldings that the Hobby 2000 packs are already very worn, which is especially visible on the first engine star and the disappearing dividing lines on the engine cover, many scratches (including the glass parts). Model - project, made me creazy: - painting with my favorit Model Master metallizer, it turned out very bad, the paint behaved completely different than before - the decals sent to me by Fabien, produced by Carpena, fell apart when applied and the roundels broke while drying on the model, I managed to save small roundels on wing top and emblems (I had Sioux from 2 elements, but the stork from 4), the codes were printed by my friend on a laser printer, the roundels were donated by another friend - I just had to repaint the blue with a more suitable one. Underside of the hull, I have reshaped so that it does not look unnatural, which is the hallmark of the Revell's model. At the end I'm not happy with the result. New photos with correct description and corrected error on the model that no one mentioned.
  2. You right, I saw that but haven't vacu replacement, will do it in the future. Additional problem is fitting from windscreen. Canopy is the only problem from Tamiya kit.
  3. Dear Friends, I present my second kit in this year. Tamiya's P-51D with Quickboost conversion set for F-6D and decals from KITS WORLD.
  4. I started this build at Januar 1st, after 10 days work, we are here - enjoy!

    Thank you! You right, Arma Hobby have made this mistake in the assembly manual - wrote Patryk 😞 and I missed it! Sorry for that Hugo! Hugo O’Brien de Lacy was born on the 29th of October 1925 in Warsaw. At the outbreak of the war, he was only 13, and he was a student of the Cadet Corps in Lvov. During the German occupation, Hugo lived in Warsaw. In 1941 he joined Polish Underground. The Gestapo arrested him, but the “organisation” managed to pay a ransom and free him. As he was afraid of further problems with occupants he went to Krosno and in May 1941 he tried to get to the Polish army in the Middle East through Hungary. Unfortunately his attempt was not successful and Soviets arrested him. He spent two years and two months in Soviet prisons. In July 1942, after Sikorski – Maiski treaty, he was released, but the Polish Army, led by Gen Anders was getting ready to leave the USSR for Persia. He stayed in the Soviet Union and worked in a factory, kolkhoz and as a peat digger. In August 1943 he joined the Polish People’s Army and almost immediately went to the 1st Fighter Regiment. O’Brien de Lacy belonged to the last, fourth, training group of the 1st Fighter Regiment and he was one of only four pilots who saw combat – just in time to take part in the Battle of Berlin. He flew in the 2nd Flight as Sergeant. On the 2nd May 1945 he was promoted Warrant Officer. For his service de Lacy received the Cross of Merit and Polish and Soviet commemorative medals. After the war, he based with the regiment in Bydgoszcz and Modlin. In January 1946 he was attacked by Russians in the Rembertów Forest and was shot in his leg. Stay in hospital and rehabilitation took away several months of his life. Since then, he had to walk with a walking stick. In 1946 he helped 2nd Ltn Władysław Żurawski, a pilot of the 1st Fighter Regiment, to escape to the West. The Military Information (in reality, political police in the army) learnt about his involvement, and he was sentenced two years in prison. Thanks to executive clemency he left it after 13 months. Later he passed his A-Level exam and started working in newspapers in Warsaw, and he wrote articles about aviation and mountaineering. He was planning to write two books about the 1st Fighter Aviation Regiment “Warszawa” but he never made it. On the 29th November 1958, W/O Res. Hugo O’Brien de Lacy committed suicide in Warsaw, exactly one month after his 33rd birthday. This courageous fighter pilot did not manage to cope with everyday problems in peacetime. His grave is at the Old Powązki Cemetery.
  6. Hello, thank you. I used a mix of Hataka "orange series" (C) dark brown and tan, green and blue from Gunze following the IBG recommendation. Any problems with this kit - highly recommended!

  9. Hi friends! This is my last built in this year - number 45. Happy New Year!
  10. Today I finished this project, they are my 41 - 44 models for this year. No wash and other techniques used - sorry for that, hope you can enjoy it. All models are from IBG, for nr 4 from 161 squadron and 55 from 141 squadron I used decals from Arma Hobby kits. Romania 1940 Poland 1939
  11. Good job! This plane was nicknamed "attention police" because of its painting.
  12. My annual wish list from Airfix consists of the following: 1/72 new tool Halifax B MK.I/II with Merlins Halifax MK.III with Hercules Battle Hampden Beaufighter NF MK.II DHC-2 Beaver
  13. You are right, similar drawings were in the manuals of many models from this period, including the ZTS and the included book.
  14. I present the recently completed model number 40 for this year - a Bf-109D from AMG in 1/72 scale. OOB no weathering, nothing
  15. You're right, I had the same. The kit is very nice made, only white plastic is a problem, in all propeller one blade was broken, one I lost and must made a replacement.
  16. Yes and not🙂, they was many thousands of them in Soviet POW and death camps, they returned in the next years to Germany.
  17. Thank you. Yes, I glued down on this glass platte.
  18. After approx 15 years I finished this kit, nice thing, but still something went wrong, even at the end 😈
  19. So it is done. Project Polish Yaks-1b are closed 🙂 , have one from Brengun stashed, but don't be sure I will build it or I buy next Arma Hobby kit. This is an other story😈 After marked parts I used are: exhaust from SBS Hungary and instrument panels from Yahu Poland, for fuel gauge - custom decals from a previous Yak 3/7/9 project. I missed this part in AH decals. Paints: for green Yak I used Bilmodelmakers Poland paints AMT-4 and AMT-7, for wartime Yak: AMT-11/12 comes from Mr. Paint Slovakia, in my opinion AMT-4 from MRP is too bright, also here I used Bilmodel.

  20. Thank you. My previous method is a bit to complicated, so I try something different. This method use the properties of elastic (rubber) material: - glue one "wire" from vertical fin to the wing - than glue in the "right" distance a part of "wire" to the other one and stretch it it to the other point on wing, so that a part of "wire" from the contact point to fin go straight in the axis of fuselage - when it is fixed, glue a straight plastic wire from the connection point to the fixing point on fuselage that the idea behind
