    It’s sad to hear, Serkan! The progress is outstanding and the painted Birds looks so amazing. Gute besserung!

    Hello Serkan, I was offline for some time (whole last year, I think 😬) and skipped the Revell’s Blackbird release... You’ve done a perfect job with printed parts and your sub assemblies looks fantastic, as always! I’m a bit disappointed by Revell sprues and the parts you’re showing us are way ahead. Watching with interest!

    It’s a very unusual way of working with these decals. Cutting the film may cause unstable results, because it’s very thin... But your idea can work in a very artistic way, once properly done. It would be good to have some distance between the rivet rows on the decal paper and cut it according the whole panels, isn’t it?

    It’s interesting approach and reasonable, too. As for me, I have a tendency to glue the plastic parts to each other as much as possible - just to be sure. But the other side of this approach is some problems on masking and handling the model before it’ll be finished... Beautiful job on the Buccaneer, David! 👍 The painting looks extremely accurate and the decals took the work at another level. Bravo! 👏

    I performed some quick tests and find that these rivets can be barely visible after a good treatment. So I’ll think twice before its application...

    The main rotor was assembled few days ago and now it’s waiting for wiring. 😉 No other progress occurred, because I haven’t modelling mojo these days. It’s very inspiring, my friend! 👏 I’m having some: These rivets are so small and I’m not sure about the final results: Can’t wait to see her painted, excellent progress so far! 👍
  7. Nikolay Polyakov
    Stunning work here, Johnny! 👏 Congratulations on having her done! 👍

    It must be a part of the hyper-detailing set, not a stock one... 😹 And maybe a few crewmen: Some pictures of the Blackbirds look otherworldly, isn’t it?! 🛸

    The Revell’s engineers are got nothing on your work here. 🚬 I can imagine how fascinating to create all these 3D drawings... Looking forward for the next steps, Serkan! 👏

    It looks like you’re forgot to add the cinnamon... 😬 Your nerves are made of steel, Serkan! Any chance to find our kits (with some resin parts) distorted after many years?
  11. Nikolay Polyakov
    This is evident on many pictures, so you’re absolutely right. 👍 Yes, this is it. I’m also has a busy week(s), so the progress on the «A» is very slow. Currently I’m working on the main rotor. Actually, it’s not so much parts left to complete an assembly. Great work, Johnny! 👏 The rotor blades looks fantastic, bravo! 🥳

    Looks cool, Johnny! 😉 The mottling style is superb.

    Excellent progress on this little bird, Bill! 👍 The twin-seater’s canopy and overall shape looks extremely attractive.
  14. Nikolay Polyakov
    Such a fantastic progress, Bill! 👏 The Tamiya lacquers seems to be the new standard. Looking forward for the future updates here.

    These tubes are the 9M114 missile (AT-6 Spiral) launchers - actually, very Hind-ish things. Excellent progress on these bits, Johnny! 👏 Do you have an electric drill or you’ve drilled all these 80 holes manually?! 🤪 Definitely. Thanks for sharing with us! 😉
  16. Nikolay Polyakov
    Well done, Adrian! 👍 It’s nice to see this nostalgic FROG kit here.
  17. Nikolay Polyakov
    Excellent work, Adrian! 👍 I’m glad you’re sorted the problems with paint. Also the rigging is great. I think it wasn’t about «cutting», it was about «irrigating».

    Hello Benedikt, such a sad things you said. I thought the power line supports are stronger... There were the winds too, but not so much and not so dangerous. Cleaning the wet snow is a hard work, happily we’re cleaned the most of it within the first two weeks while it was dry.
  19. Nikolay Polyakov
    The photo pictured above shows 70 cm - that’s how it snowed last two or three weeks! But it’s a spring time, I guess we’ll have a lot of water soon... 😬 Thank you John, much appreciate it! 🤝
  20. Nikolay Polyakov
    The first snow is always a surprise here and somewhat paralysing for traffic too, even if it’s expected! 😹 But this week (until today) it’s about zero and the snow is melted. I love when it’s not so cold... 🥶
  21. Nikolay Polyakov
    Yes, it wasn’t so easy! ☃️ Thank you, Benedikt! 🤝 I knew it, so it’s better to fit all these tiny strut parts before the painting to be sure that the Hind will be standing still on her legs. 😉 Thank you, Johnny! 👏 Thank you for your interest, friends! 😸
  22. Nikolay Polyakov
    Excellent work Heather, congratulations! 👏 And just a small amount of weathering - I like it so much.

    Hello friends, these weeks were so snowy, it’s a classic winter: Some progress occurred on the glazing and the fit of these parts was excellent: Also I installed the left engine cover (such a great fit, too): All the landing gear parts were glued (except the wiring on MLG struts) before painting - the model becomes heavy and I’ve never trusted the paint-to-paint joints: An operator’s window is closed, too (It looks great and we’ll see everything through it, as J.M. (@IPMS19) noticed)): The wings were assembled (except some small bits) and I think it’s time for the masking. Stay tuned! 🐈
  24. Nikolay Polyakov
    Excellent painting job, Heather! 👍 The clear coating can be tricky, it depends on surfaces and paint/thinner ratio too. Keep up the good work!
  25. Nikolay Polyakov
    It’s never too late to join the party, J.M.! 😉 Progress a bit slowed down for this week: I glued the pylons to the wings and added some small things here and there. And I think the glazing will looks great after the painting! 🤤
