  1. Little do we know that your model is , at least for me, the very first completed Hobby Boss 1:72 C-47 that I have seen so far!!! I have one in my stash and am eager to start it. It is an oustantigly sharp and detailed kit with few Chinese made glitches, but correctable. Cheers, Josip
  2. It was the 352.Yugoslav squadron. Slavonic doesn't mean anything.
  3. Please stop with the nonsense!!! We are modelers not supersensitive soyboys! Our hobby is all about making and showing our models that are depicting aeroplanes or flying warmachines that have been participating or had participated in wars allover the world. By that twisted standard we should stop showing Axis, IAF and USAAF aircraft, not just Russian ones. This Su-27 looks lovely and always will because the original airplane is the same. Josip
  4. It is done! No small achievement for any four engined aircraft model. The main deficiencies have been corrected. It shows that Airfix B-17 with aftermarket guns is the best 1:72 B-17 model today. However to my eyes it still looks too monotone and too clean. I'll stick to riveting and Model Master metalizer drybrushing when I get to building mine.
  5. Although I despise Airfix kits I can only commend you on the great looking model that is really a tribute to the original.
  6. I don't really think of it as a success. At least at that stage. The crosses look too sharp edged. Try to somehow soften them. If you have a decent airbrush it would work to lightly overspray them criss cross over each cross. I know it will be hard but the final result will look way better.
  7. I have totally forgot about the existence of this kit. Maybe Hasegawa should have issued them more often? Stunning!
  8. Just two things to correct on any Academy 1:72 kit! The lower frame of the pilot's sliding hood was noticeably higher and the upper landing gear covers should lean on the lower ones.
  9. I have a single nitpick. As far as I know the G model retained the pair of 7,9mm machine guns in the wings for aiming purposes. How come that they're absent on your model?
  10. I do apologise if it was already explained but I would like to know why did you close the radio room hatch and waist windows? I think that such a big and detailed modern kit deserves to be displayed a bit better.
  11. I did this model in those markings 10years ago and you really can't go wrong with it if you have a bit of experience. Your model looks gorgeous with an exception of exhaust pipes. They look sloppy, soft and like they've been encrusted in mud.
  12. I think that this has got to be one of the Airfix best aircraft kits and you sure rectified all shortcomings.
  13. I will only comment the painting. I just don't see Dark Earth and Dark Green on your model. It looks to me as some sort of desert camouflage.
  14. While more modern and detailed than Hasegawa, Academy kit just isn't true to the original. The fuselage spine, the spinner etc...
  15. Hello DraganĨe! We've made the same model in same markings and posted it here. Cheers! Josip
