Yes, another one for me and I just bought the Techmod decal set for the Rumanian decals, will use them anyway.  Excellent news.

Hi Jerszy,

 

I would be very pleased to see a 1/72 Caproni 101 as well as the other variants.

 

Best regards

Colin.

[1/72 - Caproni Ca.101 by Fly - released]

I have been wondering what was happening to this model and thank you to Homebee for the update.

I am very interested in this aircraft and it's variants hopefully coming to fruition.

A lovely built model   and beautifully brush painted to, the historical photos are very much of interest to, well done Sir !

Hi Jerszy !

Just fantastic and interesting builds as always, you do so spoil us with your wonderful built models, I do like the Martin B-10 very much, I have a couple in the stash to build but, have always been afraid to attempt it, but, I think I will, and thank you for your inspiration as always.

Would you happen to have a 1/72 Curtiss H-75 Hawk in NEI colours to ?

Best regards

Colin.

[RCAF Vampire F.3]

Thank you for the information and link much appreciated, I will be sending an order later.

[Heller 2018 online]

Agreed with all the other comments posted above.  I am very happy to see Heller still around and I shall be buying some of their re-releases even though I have various boxing's in my stash, I have always had a penchant for their black framed boxes.

I am hoping that Hannant's will stock the above listed kits ?

[1/72 P-47D-30 Turkish Airforce]

Hello,

Yes, I can see your model, it's beautifully painted and finished.  The work with the panel lines is very good.

Hoping we can expect a series of aircraft models from your homeland ?

Best regards and welcome,

Colin.

[KA-26 Crop duster Hungarian Government]

A beautiful model and very interesting to, I like to see AModel kits built up as well

More please !

This was a small kit, with very few parts but it turned out to need a lot of extra work.  I really should have made a WiP since there was so much to do and so many pitfalls.  Bullet points...

--The cockpit floor is far too wide for the fuselage and needed significant thinning in order to bring the halves even somewhat close together.  Even then, I needed Evergreen shims in the nose and in the underside with liberal amounts of putty.  

--The cowling didn't fit very well at all.  I had to actually spread open the fuselage halves in order to fit the cowling smoothly.  Then the shims came into effect (see above).

--The very clear bubble top was fine except that it was far too thick at the base and would not fit the fuselage without very wide gaps all around the bottom edges.  I used the Dremel to grind down the interior thin enough that it sat evenly around the whole of the cockpit.

--The decals, while very thin and requiring almost no setting solutions at all, were so delicate that too much solvent dissolved them completely.  This happened to a couple of the stencils.  Thankfully they are minuscule and you cannot really see where they should be if you didn't know they should be there at all.  The serial number decal on the port rudder folded onto itself and could not be salvaged.  I tried to save it.  I also tried to fake it using bits from the Bottomless Bag of Leftover Decals but to no avail.  

--The markings were a bit orange.  They really should be red.  I've been to Lebanon.  They're red. Hence the colour discrepancy between he hand-painted rudder and the roundels.

 

Other than that, it was a fun and quick build.  For your perusal...

 

 

 

 

I had a good time building this kit.  I'd build another in Canadian markings given he time.  As it is, it makes a fine addition to the Middle-Eastern shelf and I keep it next to the Israeli Fairchild in hopes of détente.

Hi John,

Thanks for the information, I will get on and build mine too.

A lovely build and finished kit to add to your collection, despite your problems encountered, the chosen decals and different canopy certainly make it more appealing

I to have the AZ 1/72 Chipmunks in my collection and was hoping for a quick build with them.

[1/72 USCG Grumman Albatross]

The GC scheme looks fantastic on your model

Can I tempt you to build a 1/72 Hercules and Spartan in the GC scheme as well ?  Hope so.

Regards Colin.

Very exotic marked and lovely built model, my congratulations to you !
