Hi Chris, Thanks The masks are designed by myself but cut by specialists Rgds S.

Hi, Thanks for all your nice and encouraging comments I have started to airbrush the markings using masks. More to come ... Rgds S.

Hi, the stand is made by JHmodels. I have got it last year on a modeling vontest here in Czech Rep. You can try Modelimex if you want one. https://www.modelimex.com/1-48-wooden-stand-for-airplanes-building-transport Thanks for lookng Rgds S.

Hi, some more progress achieved during the weekend ... Hope I will finish it till the end of this GB Rgds S.

Hi Neil, The camo itself took me two sessions. One day for surface preparation and basic layer of Gunze RLM76. Next day i did the green pattern in a single continuous one hour airbrush stroke - with omly a few breaks to reload the paint. I had quite a pain in my right hand after that... Thanks for looking and for kind words Rgds S.

Hi Andy, yes the camo pattern is all airbrushed - freehand. Only marking - white 25 and balkenkreutzen - are aibrushed using masks. Thanks for looking Rgds S.

Hi, yes you're right. The lower tubes vere removed and also the central one. The lower ones i've never seen on a photo of these rece birds. The central one was sometimes installed for the canon. This particular bitd has this central one removed. The cover was patched by dark color on the nose. Thanks for a kind words... Rgds S.

Hi, I am glad I can post some progress So now I have started the main part of the build - the paintwork. First underside - metalizers and RLM76. Some patching with RLM65 and RLM02 still to come... Regards S.

Hi, she's finished More pictures posted in Ready For Inspection thread http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=234932152 Wishing you all the best for 2013 and Happy Modelling S.

Hi, just finished a few days ago this Hobby Boss 1/48 Me262A1/U3 Recce Schwalbe. The kit is excellent almost like the Tamiya one. I used just a few PE bits from Eduard in cockpit (seat belts) and wheel wells. Aires resin wheels were used as the kit ones are unusable. All the markings except hackenkreutz are airbrushed using my own custom masks. Some progress pics can be seen here http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=234924608 Thanks for looking. Any comments are welcomed. Alexandr

Hi, I am back with my Schwalbe after a pause caused by waiting for airbrush masks. As there is no decal sheet for the marking I have chosen as I had to design my own masks. I had a masks for white 25 and all balkenkreutzen. The rest are normal decals from the box... Now some wash and dirt (very light...) and she's done... Thanks for watching :-) S.

Thanks for looking My hands are no more steady as they used to be, but now I have my Tamiya Magnifying Visor. Extremely expensive but proof to be extremely useful

Hi, Thanks you all for your kind words. I've managed to tackle instrument panel and install everything in. Thanks for support and encouragement Alexandr

Absolutely amazing piece of work...

Hi, Some progress for this week. I was busy with cockpit And some work on fuselage around cockpit... Thanks for looking Alexandr

It just seems like a quick start but it is not For instance today - no visible progress but i have spent half a day playing with various PE stuff... I did not come over any problem so far.... Rgds Alexandr

HI, Thanks guys. Here is my progress so far... Fuselage is closed. Also aft cockpit deck from Aires set is grafted on. I also did some small work on wheel wells using Eduard PE. And here I just try how she will look with wings They are just dry fitted, no glue yet... So that's it. Cockpit is next ... Rgds Alexandr

Hi, Let me join with this set Eduard PE is for G-10, the original K-4 set is unfortunately not available. Hope I'll not screw it up. Alexandr

Hi Colin, the stand is from JH models. I think modelimex.cz sell theor products. Rgds Alexandr

After a long time here is my small step ahead. More to come soon Thx S.

Hi, yes the bays are OOB except a few wires from Eduard's PE set. I'm quite surprised by the overall fit and level of details. Hope they will release twoseater ASAP. Thanks S.

Some progress... Thanks S.

Hi, Just started HobbyBoss Recce Schwalbe. I was currious how it will compare to Tamiya one. Almost no difference I think. Let's see later during the build... First the cockpit is finished using kit decals for instrument and side panels and a few bits from Eduard PE set. More to come S.

Hi, just finished this Tamiya Salamander. Trouble free build but I've managed to almost screw it up... There were some three or four "restarts". It all ends up I have not enough patience to finish it up to the level I've planed but I don't mind...I have already other projects ahead...:-) Eduard PE set used in cockpit, instrument panel is OOB using decal. All colours are Gunze "C". The colour scheme done according discussion and observation found on some French forum. Their arguments and findings sounds convincing so I've tried... Thx S.

What can I say? ... WONDERFUL... STUNNING... GORGEOUS... Masterpiece! S.
