Hi fellow modellers,
something fresh from my garden this week. It's the Brengun latest reincarnation built out of the box with only few small corrections, as part a modelling project which I hope will materialize soon.
I opted for M.D. Baranov machine from the Battle of Stalingrad period and painted the kit with AK Real Colors.
Cheers

Looking damn good in black, good job Roman!

Buffing or polishing is possible to some extent, but these colors do not need that. In this particular case the surface was over sprayed with a semi-gloss varnish, as the actual planes were sprayed with a protective varnish too, i.e. these were not left in NMF. Btw, quite common practice on Soviet and east-block machines.

Hi, it is Uschi van den Rosten elastic thread, the Fine size.
These are Mr.Hobby colors. Have that heard too and actually I alteady tested the Acrysion line too, and these seem to work in similar way. Anyway, dropping the Mr. Hobby line is not actual, I heard this may even not happen. But there area available another fantastic paints like AK Real Colors, so you should not worry.

Hi fellow modellers,
this my another COVID build finished in a week or so. The AMK kit is pretty nice just out of the box, but I added Eduard etched in the cockpit, Master brass Pitots and Res-Im wheels. The towing bar was scratch built from brass tubes and plastic scraps. Painted with Gunze SM and Mr.Colors.
I also slightly shortened the main landing gear legs to get the proper sit of the model, and modeled the kit with extended elevator, as can be seen on a parked machines.
The kit is finished in Czechoslovak Air Force markings from early 1970's.
Cheers

Hi Ed,
all these were in the sole gentleman scale, of course. Sorry for missing pictures, they were uploaded in 2016 and disappeared from Photobucket later on due to their stupid policy.
Cheers

Thanks for kind comments gents!
Painted with Hobby and Mr. Colors shades according to the instructions, these are pretty much spot on.
There are maybe more than 100 of stencils, but these days I have plenty of time. Additionaly, due to HGW transfer specifics I spent on them three night sessions.
Cheers

Hello fellow modellers,
this is my third "MF" from Eduard, this time built in Czech / Czechoslovak AF most usual colours.
I guess all has been already said about this beautiful kit, so just briefly: built from Royal Class issue with HGW Wet Transfer stencilling and Brassin UB-16 rocket launchers.
Cheers and stay all healthy,
Libor

Hi folks,
this is the recent Airfix kit built for a book project.
I used quite a few aftermarkets from Quickboost and Eduard in order to address some of the kit's omissions or to improve the level of detail in some of the kit's focal points.
The sliding part of the pilot's canopy was scratch built as well as the missing tropical filter.
The decals come from Xtradecal sheet.
Cheers

He said it was done as “private” job , so most likely just a custom made wall painting, imho.

Thanks for comments, much appreciated!
Hobo: I mix them with my home brewed thinner (50/50 alcohol/distilled water) with ratios 1:3 up to 1:5. No clue about the pressure though, as I work with Iwata with micro control valve, so the pressure is tuned at the nozzle.

Valerii: glad I helped you with that bad ugly hamster!
I bet the Revell kit has to be an easier build and despite its age is still pretty nice!

Hi folks,
this is the first 1/72 scale kit from ZM in their Super Wing Series, Horten IX/Go 229 scaled down from their larger scale kits.
It was build for announced BOOK PROJECT.
The kit is highly detailed as known from their 1/32 and 1/48 kits, but little bit tricky to assemble. I ignored all those wild 'what-if' schemes and I tried to model the V3 as it might have looked after its completion. I thought the airframe was much larger, but in comparison with Fw 190D it does not looks that huge.
Cheers

So, what is the conversion to get a A-1? I'm not familiar with all the various different 190's'
There are changes in the wing armament, lack of cooling air slots on the fuselage plus other small things on the airframe and canopy. But the most important are good pictures of given airframe as the first production series could differ is some aspects; the is 027 quite well documented.

Agree, the building comfort is definetely on the Tamiya side.
Thanks everyone for comments and Happy New Year!

Thanks Roman and best season’s greetings too!

Thanks chaps, it is really brilliant kit. I admit it is pricey, in my region between 20-25 EUR, what is for instance above usual Eduard Profipak kit of this size, but in my opinion the delta is worth the money.
Jason: you will be excited with that new kit, I bet!
Cheers

Not at all, I enjoyed it. Of course it is not so straightforward as Arma kit, but still above average amongst short-run kits.
