I was in Moson, didn't buy it, but I was holding box in my hands.

It may be awesome, but it would also be very dangerous job. Imagine coming in low level, just above mountain tops and flaming trees inferno , dodging power lines while thick smoke obscures your vision, to drop a water bomb where just few meters miss could mean difference between life or death of trapped ground firefighters bellow. No gunsight, radar, no ejection seat or even parachute, if something go wrong, that's it. Last summer one was lost in Greece on a mission, and the crew perished. When I was a kid I always loved movie "Always" with firefighting Catalinas and Invaders. I have seen Canadairs in real action few times, and have huge respect for their crews. This is one of my favorite pictures because you can actually see stress on pilots faces.

I agree with your comments. It went together pretty well (except engine nacelles), main landing gear struts are fiddly, resulting in wrong stance, and rivets although nice on fuselage, are way oversized on wings. If I would do another one for myself, I would definitely sand them down and rescribe at least wings and engines. It is impossible to save rivets on top where fuselage halves meet anyway.

Good evening, Heller 1/72 kit, build OOB (except for few small details) as a gift to a firefighter who collect everything related to firefighting. Madafaka decals were used for Croatian bird markings.

Absolutely fantastic! One of the best late Corsair models I have ever seen! I hope mine will end up at least half as good as yours! Defiantly "Save as" material....

Oh man... you cannot imagine how many joy and memories your build invokes. Not because I flew in one of those (I not that old), but because it was one of my first models back in the '80s. I didn't even know what that was for a plane, but VEB Plasticart was only game in town back then. Years later I bought another one in some East German memorabilia shop, and now is waiting for me to do another for pure nostalgia! Anyway, great looking build, and thank you for posting it!

Love it! great job!

Hi gents, did Gloster Meteor TT.8 had guns, or were they removed? I presume they were not needed for target tugging, but then maybe they were left for weight? I'm thinking to build Airfix 1/48 kit as TT.8 but I am not sure if I should close gun access panels on fuselage (and I already added some extra details so it would be shame) Thank you for your answers!

Hi all! I actually finished something, first time since 2017.! AFV Club 1/48 F-5E model, with some aftermarket/scrachbuild extras. Nice model, but I managed to over-complicate it. But, its is done, yeay!

If this boxing won't sell, I don't know what will...

I wonder what is justification for such a price? What makes a cost of such product? Research, human labor, material and technology used. I can't imagine that first 3 factors would make such huge cost in case of rivet decals. So either Eduard bought some super-duper expensive new 3D printing machine for Eduard rivets line that has to be paid off quickly, or it is greed. Whatever reason is... 20-25 Euro is max that I'm prepared to pay for rows of small dots. Above that, "Rosie the riveter" and steady hand will have to do.

Wow! I suppose price will be around full size smaller yacht, but nevertheless, Wow!

Well... no. Those hinomarus look dull and faded. Like k5054nz wrote: "Well that's not the colour I imagine when I think "hinomaru"." Maybe Eduard got it right, and everybody else got it wrong, IDK. But first thought when I look at those decals is "They look strange"

That looks nice. I already have PaulusVictor decals for Syrian AF, 9/11 Huey's and Desert Storm Harriers and they are outstanding quality. I spent a good hour reading instructions for each since they offer abundance of interesting information. Preview of this Danish set shows that this set will offer no less. Danish AF decals would not be my first choice for any of subjects covered in this sheet, but looking at them, I reserve the right to change my mind!😆

Usually, I'm fan of Cold War Studio stuff, but panel lines on this Su-22 nose cone does look a bit wonky... Compared to HAD and Kasl offerings....hmm...
