Can you loose the red crowbar on the entry door. It should be cockpit green. 

Red is health and safety required today.👍

And this red crowbar 😀. I like it!

Gentlemen, I was well aware of the color of this crowbar and the painting scheme also says to leave it green. This is purely my prank🙂, if I can put it that way - it's my personal tuning😘 . Forgive me if you can.

On the shark mouth, does the decal wrap around the air filter intake?  From the angle of the picture, it looks like it completely covers the opening. 

In fact, there should not be a protective grille, but a gaping hole. But when applying the decals, it so happened that the shark lost part of the teeth on the lower jaw)). To save the shark's teeth, I had to make a lattice and paint its teeth on this very lattice.

Excellent model and beautiful paint job of the very difficult camouflage scheme! I see you have riveted it, correct?

Yes, it is. And some paint job made by hand brush.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen modelers! I present to you my next model of the legendary Zero from an equally legendary model manufacturer - Tamiya.

Epic build!

What are the small bits sticking out just forward of the cockpit?

I think these are exhaust gas deflectors.

Good evening, dear colleagues modelers. Today I present to you my next work from the Polish company ARMA Hobby. This is a brand new model and is simply beautiful to build. I had great fun putting it together. I practically didn't have to modify anything on this model and I didn't use any aftermarket.

It was not designed for a jet engine at all. though it may look that way.  No more than other pusher tail-first designs such as the Curtiss Ascender.  "doomed to emergency landings" is just nonsense, but it no doubt required careful handling.  Certainly unsuitable for the average Japanese fighter pilot of 1945, had the other problems not ruled that out anyway.

"The idea of a canard-based design originated with Lieutenant Commander Masayoshi Tsuruno, of the technical staff of the IJN in early 1943. Tsuruno believed the design could easily be retrofitted with a turbojet, when suitable engines became available"

Lovely model. Incredible detail hidden away.

I read that after capture, the Americans decided due to the inherently insufficient counter force on the torque acting from the prop, that they didn't actually dare test fly it. 

No idea if this is true or not, though.

This aircraft was designed for a jet engine. He's awkward with blades. With such high landing gear, it was doomed to emergency landings and even takeoffs and was of little use for operation. Obviously, with a jet engine, such high landing gear would not be needed and the aircraft would become practical and airworthy.

[1/48 J7W1 Shinden, Zoukei-Mura]

Good day, ladies and gentlemen! It's my next model. I chose this color because the model showed weapons that actually weren't there. This sealed the fate of this model as a “What if?” The prototype of this aircraft actually fell into the hands of the Americans as a trophy. But it was not put into operation. And yes, I know this is mid-WWII paint job. But the trophy was received at the end of the war and therefore could hardly have been painted like that.

@Fuad Well done!.  What clear did you use?.

 

Is this Tamiya acrylic, or lacquer ? 

 

It's Pledge Floor Gloss, formerly known as Pledge FloorCare Multi-Surface Finish, formerly known as Future.

I've been thinking about doing this with mine in the stash. It would get very tail-heavy, though and would be very finnicky to boot! Yours looks great as is.

Yes, I agree. A dilemma arises. If you make it from metal, then you will need to make runners from them and also add a flat weight under the floor of the cabin. What confuses me more about this idea is the heterogeneity of the metal structure and the need to combine different profiles. Apparently some of them will have to be left plastic, but at the same time the thickness will have to be significantly reduced. For example, I mean the beam to which the rear direction screw is attached.

Beautiful, the canopy is especially good! Did you make the tail from metal rod or is that the kit plastic?  

No, unfortunately my soldering skills are not enough to make such a complex design. This is plastic from a set, which is at least twice as thick as the original.

Fuad,

 

Really STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS  vehicle  build.

 

Are you sure it's your first one because you did a very impressive  job.

AWESOME. 

This is my first civilian car job. And so I have been doing aircraft modeling since I was 7 years old🙂. I am 51 years old))

That's fantastic! How did you get the plexiglass bubble to look so clear?

This is entirely the merit of Italeri. I didn't do anything with it.

[1/48 Bell OH-13 Sioux, Italeri+BIG ED]

Hi everyone! Let me present you my next model from "Italeri". The truth is that this plastic model is physically incapable of depicting this sleek helicopter to scale. To do this, you need to solder the tail boom from metal rods.
