On the fuselage and wing - the decals from kit. And bottom - RLM76.

I have one question in general to all. Is it worth to do a description of the models? For example from history? Or it is not so welcome?

Thank you for attention. I just translated the "prop" like a "support" and didn't understand the question . And propeller is from native kit. Thank you again.

I do not really know the language. Expand your question please. And what about the traditions on this site. Maybe I'm doing something wrong - please explain to me. I do not want to be the "black sheep" .

Some facts from Great History: Despite the fact that some sources show this plane with the serial number LN853 (as well as on the decal from Italeri), in fact, this number had Spitfire EN853, because LN853 number was reserved for a series of "Wellington" heavy bombers. EN853 board was placed in the Royal Air Force in May 1942, in the 401st flight squadrons. In August 1942, the unit was transferred to duty in the 121st Squadron RAF "Eagle" in Rockford, formed from American volunteer pilots. On the September 24th, 1942 in order replenishment squadron arrived American volunteers, among whom was Major William "Jimmy" Daley - an American, a native from Amarillo city, Texas. And he gave this aircraft. It is noteworthy that William Daley on arrival assumed command link - three days after the death of its namesake and countryman - Lieutenant William Kelly, nicknamed "Wild Bill" – who was a former bus driver. In September 1942 the 121st Squadron of the Royal Air Force was disbanded, and on this basis has been created 335th Fighter Squadron, which was a part of the Fourth Fighter Group U.S. Eighth Air Force (USAAF's Eight Air Force). Then, apparently, over the UK ID marks were bears the U.S. Air Force and the letter codes are unchanged. In January 1943, W.Daley was called back to the U.S., as a pilot with combat experience, to work as a flight instructor. During this short period (just over two months) W.Daley managed to knock on this Spitfire 2 and 3 damage to enemy aircraft. At that time, the squadron was primarily to track the B-17 and B-24 bombers. In the same month, the EN853 board received the large amount of total damage during the intense fighting, and then this aircraft was scrapped for parts. In 1944, former pilot of this board - Major W.Daley returned to Europe, but in the 371st squadron of the U.S. Air Force, where he was to fly in heavy fighters P-47 "Thunderbolt", but, unfortunately, was shot down in combat and died in September 1944, just after the Allied landing in France. About model: This model of Spitfire from “Italeri” has some difficult to fix geometry, in particular, playing the infamous W-shaped profile of the wing. There are also minor defects as "no-cutting" jointing lines and hatches. I tried to fix something, something too lazy. The fuselage of the model, for the sake of cost reduction in the production of various modifications, is made from five parts. But fitting of parts is tolerant, except for the "classic" docking wing to the fuselage. I did not use any aftermarket. I graved thickness of the wing from the inside to cut 6 holes to clear sleeves. The main cannon made from a 0.3 mm brass profile. They wound copper wire of 0.1 mm, trying to imitate the trunk lining. Guns are also made from a tube, setting them flush with the edge of the wing. Belts in the cockpit and instrument panel – decals from tamiya’s Spitfire. Mirror re-manufactured from a piece of brass wire and Christmas tinsel. Basic colors - Tamiya acrylics, gloss - Future and matt varnish from Tikurilla. Made of copper wire on the landing gear hydraulics. Piston rod - Chrome Silver from MM. Exhaust pipes drilled, painted with “rust” Revell 83. Antenna cables - Nylon thread. Welded decals with "Set" and "Sol" from Microscale. Chips - part of a toothpick in the fresh scratch acrylic, some wearing makeup brush #000. Soot from exhaust pipes - Tamiya powder box, washing-MIG, and drips - Tamiya Smoke X19. I was used in this works many materials from "walkaround"s, "Kagero", "Squadron", "Aero Detail", "Osprey", "Warpaint", "War in the Air," etc. magazines and some www information.

Fiat G.55 serie 1 Centauro / 1:72 / Special Hobby Referring to the drawings from the Ali D'Italia magazine, I had done the following: 1. Added numerous inlets from beer tin and pipes from copper pipe. 2. Ground off all the edges. 3. Scopes added to the cab and on the hood. 4. Navigation lights made: 2 from colored plastic, and 3 from the cyanocrylat glue. 5. Add spacers to the exhaust of the radiator. 6. Antenna cable from the human hair. 7. The top and bottom of the exhaust pipe – from beer tin. 8. Riveting mount of removable panels. 9. Thrust of landing gear, wing machine guns, gun-through and the pitot tube made from needles with different diameters. 10. Recessed seam panels. 11. Cut louvers on the hood. 12. Cut sawing deflected surface. 13. Reset hole cut sleeves. 14. Sticks cut from the ear piece behind the radiator. Color scheme was an experimental for the Italian Air Force, which is not the color. Classic colors GRIGIO MIMETICO, GIALLO MIMETICO 3, VERDE MIMETICO 1 and 2 of MARRONE MIMETICO relevant Italian palette of Model Master. Metallica ground (and preshading) + engine manifold - all from Alclad. Other colors from Tamiya. Lacquers - Futura and Tikurilla.

This is a special print, glued to cardboard. This base made ​​by my acquaintance modeller from Belarus. If you want, I can tell you his coordinates and links to his other works in private message. http://karopka.ru/upload/iblock/fce/photo_1_1351493572.jpg

This aircraft modification of K-1 took part in the raids on Britain on the WW II. The model is a repackaging of the old set from "Italeri" with the external lines of panel joints and miserly detail. In the assembly I’ve been applied etched parts from "Eduard". Remove the outer cut and cut inside, somewhere used foil to simulate the overhead panels. Added antenna cable, brake hoses. Re-made ​​the pitot tube. The main identification marks applied with stencils. Dust and soot simulated with tamiya’s “weathering master”. Drips and more - X-19 Smoke. The prototype was painted in a very rare color RLM 72 and RLM 73. Because I haven’t any ready paints for these colors – I was made mixture from tamiya’s paints according to formulas founded in the network. References: 1. Multipurpose bomber Dornier 217.

Thank you, guys . Such kind comments inspire me to new works.

Thanks for the comment. I'm just now building M.S.406 from Hobby Boss.

Thanks for the kind comments.

Thank you very much for your comments.

"Hobby Boss" sometimes makes a good model in reality. Such as the MiG-3, which does not have any CORRECT alternative. The main minus of these models - almost complete lack of detail in the cockpit. But this applies only to the "easy kit".

Very patriotic. I like it.

Nice and neatly done. And the photos are well decorated.

Here is some more information about this strange machine:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dornier_Do_335 The assembling of Dragon model does not present any particular difficulties. There is some trouble with leading edge flaps. And also - the manufacturer wrongly gave cutting line of landing flaps (underneath). You also need to new-cut the joint line of bomb bay flaps, because it is given like a solid piece. Also there is no whip antenna near the right niche of chassis. The nose of the aircraft is loaded with lead shot. I used etched parts from "Eduard", despite some "native" etched. Landing gear wheels are from the "Equipage" firm. Due to absolute absence of serial "Arrows" night fighters in life, I decided to use a color scheme for example Ju-88, converted to night fighters. Get something like "Luft’46» + "what if" = standard scheme RLM 81/82/76 + stripes of "velmunster" from RLM 76. I used paints and other chemistry from Tamiya. Decals from another kits. Lacquers – Futura&Tikurilla.

Pilot - Sergeant Michelle Madon, Suippes, France, May 1940, the Group was moved to Oran, Algeria in June 1940 Medon claim to 11 confirmed and 4 probable victories. This is an “easy kit” from «Hobby Boss», and that’s why I was cut and completely sawed plastic booths with drill. Applied etched detail from "Eduard" for Hasegawa model of D-520. All pipes and vents was reamed. All edges was grounded off. Made navy lights. Putty is used only in the canopy junction with the fuselage. Acrylic Paints - Tamiya, varnishes - Pledge Future and Tikurilla. Soot and dust - "weathering master" from Tamiya.

This model of Messerschmitt BF-108 from the "Heller" company is a fairly primitive set, however, it has a good connectivity details. In the assembly, I used photoetched parts from the "Extratech". It is very necessary. I was re-cut panels and made riveting on the whole model. The canopy was carefully polished and refurbished. I have been made a few holes and cracks in the hood, as well as isolated and extended outside the tube and made ​​the appropriate connections. And also I was remaking a small piece at the bottom of the hood. Native decals were terrible quality (very thick and with a shift of colors). Crosses are from different sets. Navigation lights are made from drops of cyanoakrylate gel glue, then painted with transparent Tamiya varnish. Landing gear is new-made. Preshading made ​​without washing. Tamiya paint used and lacquers from Futura&Tikurilla.

Fine Molds makes the best copy of the Bf-109. Yes, this is decal. But I used it last time - applying the decal as camouflage. It just was curious to try for me. I can not say that I liked. Decal still somewhat stout.

Great job!

This is my next model. Assembly can be found http://scalemania.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&p=8147#p8147. Used photoetched parts from Eduard. The antenna cable made from a human hair. Navigation lights made from colored transparent plastic. Tamiya paint. Lacquers - Tikurilla and Futura. II/JG54 Hauptmann Dietrich Hrabak, 1941 Russia

Nice work. All are looks wonderful on this site, isn't it, Ваня?

RLM81/82 RLM 81 XF51:1 + XF64:2 RLM 82 AS-23; XF5 or XF5:1 + XF2:1 or XF5:1 +XF3:1 (Bright Green) It's Tamiya.

Glad to see you here. As I recall, this is the same model that took prizes at the shows?

I mainly use the palette from Tamiya. So all my colors are mixed formulas. I believe that the closest color RLM72/73 I turned on Arado 196 (he is also here on the site.) RLM 72/73 - the most difficult color for me.
