Very nice indeed. I like the FOD covers and flags but seem to remember that before any of those are fitted the chocks go in.
Thank you. I totally forgot the chocks which can be scratch -built easily.😅

Hello fellow modelers!
After two and a half months of work, it finally came to an end.
It's a Mig Ammo's re-box version of Kinetic F-104 series. The kit is nice with a lot of details and no noticeable fit problems found.
I detailed up a bit using Black Dog's gun bay and electronic compartment.
Instrument panel, FOD covers, a few wiring, etc. are scratch - detailed.
Remove before flight tags are from Eduard.
The kit provides a lot of decal and paint options and I chose to go for Hellenic Air Force scheme.
Decals are excellent as they are printed by Cartograf. I also made a small base and used Plusmodel's boarding ladder.
Far from perfection and not fully satisfied but I think it still looks nice and presentable.
Merry Christmas to you all!

Hi guys, it's been 8 months since I last finished my model which was the Chinese J-7B. Not very productive during these months, huh? Ok, here is my Tamiya's latest brand new 48th scale kit. What is special to talk about this kit is the details. Tamiya has done a very good job putting in more details while not compromising the ease of building in their later kits. Engineering and parts breakdown are excellent. Of course there are many aftermarket detail up parts released in the market lately but the detail level out of the box is pretty acceptable especially in the weapons bay.
I scratch-built the seat belts as Tamiya provided only the decals.
The only drawback of the kit is the decals. They are thick and need a lot of decal liquids to soften and set. Otherwise it would be a perfect kit.
This is a commission build and my client wanted me to do the Italian Air Force so here it is. Hope you will like it.
I willbe building more as I am settled at the new place and have set up the workbench.
See you next time, thanks.

Very beautiful indeed.
I am also building one in Italian markings and nearly finished.
It really is a fantastic kit but the decals are thick and a bit tricky to apply.

What a beautiful finish!
Your build caught my attention on this kit.
Looking to build one.

Yes, so I read. Where did you get the markings?
Included in the Zvezda kit.

Really like it. I wonder if these have seen action with the strife they have had over there.
Right now, the brutal military junta is using these planes against the people. Bombing villages causing many casualties. They also bomb Ethnic armed organizations who are fighting against the junta.
A beautiful plane but in the wrong hands I have to say.-

Hi guys!
After 6 months break and 2 months build, finally this kit comes to an end.
Not a top-quality kit for sure with some fit issues and shallow panel lines but fun to build.
It is built straight out of the box without any upgrade parts.
I applied moderate weathering which I think is appropriate for an aged aircraft.
The aircraft is a copy-built version of the Russian MiG-21 used by Chinese Air Force.
A number of aircrafts of this type were exported to Burmese Junta Air Force in the 1990s as the F-7II.
Hope you guys like my creation. Enjoy!

Wow that looks amazing. How did you make the canopy green?
it was easy. masked and sprayed the Tamiya clear green from the inside
before fixing it permanently to the fuselage.

Hi guys!
After a couple of ww2 builds, now its time for the modern fighter. It's and old F-18C kit from Hasegawa.It is a proportionate kit but the fitting in some areas are terrible.
Of course I built some Tamiya's old kits but i think they were not as bad as this. Anyway, after some careful filling and sanding procedure, the kit seemed near perfect.
Satisfied with painting and weathering but the decals gave me much problem.
They are stiff, hard and lacks adhesion. Although I use a lot of strong decal solutions, silvering still occurs.
Built straight from the box. The only added extras are Fine Mold's Nano aviation series F-18 Seat belts and some US weapons as Hasegawa didn't provide any.
Lots of mistakes and imperfections but I would say it's still presentable.

Hi Guys! A second RAF build in a row this time.
The previous one was the Eduard's Spitfire with Brassin Engine which gave me much headache. So this time I decided to build this Tamiya's Mossie or Wooden Wonder I should call straight out of the box.
Building a Tamiya kit is a pure pleasure and enjoyable though I encountered some minor imperfections due to the old age of the kit. In this case, decals have much to criticize as the adhesion was weak and the carrier film was thicker than it should be. A few scratch details like the seatbelts made from tin foil and masking tape, brake hoses and hydraulic hoses in the wheel well are added. I concluded the build by applying moderate weathering and sealed with Mr Hobby's Super Smooth Clear Flat(GX-114)60%+ Semi Gloss Super Clear(181)40%.
Hope you guys enjoy this.
What should I build next? Hmmm...
Sorry. Not WW2 and I should go for cold war or modern jets.The following is the link to my Facebook page:

Hello my modeling friends.
4th build this year and I think I wasted too much time on this one as I took nearly 4 months!
Anyway, I was satisfied with the result although far from perfect.
Got many experience handling the resin parts as they have to be cut and glued precisely.
The fit and detail of the kit is excellent.
Eduard's Brassin resin engine has the best details and enjoyed every moment assembling and painting it.
The Variant of this Spit is Mk.VIII and the markings were the one flown by the Canadian pilot Paul Ostrander over Burmese skies.
That's what pushed me to the finish line!Hope you like it.
Enjoy and stay safe!TZW.

Nice build! I think a little shades and highlights and some weathering would make it look better.
