  1. One of the top model at that scale I have seen until now. A champion! The little dio is top class also! Congrats!
  2. Hard to believe its a 72eme! Absolutely stunning, love it! even if WW2 birds are not my cup of tea, more please!
  3. Great Thunderbolt, nicely done! maybe a little mistake in the position of the "71" on the tail???
  4. Not fan of the period nor of the bird but your Me-163 is absolutely superb! I like the work you did to enhance the kit, especially in the cockpit. Personally I would open the canopy to show all the details you've added. Great 72eme!
  5. Very nice! I like the marble effect of the camo, great 72eme!
  6. I wanted to buy one of this fascinating aircraft and I read a lot of articles about the Italeri B-58... Being disappointed to see that this kit is far from being flawless, I dropped the idea. However yours is absolutely superb, the NMF aspect is top notch! Congrats!
  7. I will never build such a big beast (too challenging for me...) but yours is magnificent! well done!
  8. Superb kit! the weathering is top, very realistic! great 72eme.
  9. Not my period nor type of planes but yours is absolutely gorgeous! Superb piece of 72eme!
  10. Great Scooter, perfectly done! The camo is top notch, superb rendition at that scale!
  11. Wahoo! superb naval beast, I have two "A" in stock (Hasegawa+Fujimi), don't know about the GWH.
  12. Superb Kit! Far from being a professional photographer, maybe brighter photos should give a better rendition of this excellent built!
  13. Superb Starfighter! I have one in stock, but the "heavy riveting" made by Hasegawa for the engine cowling seems a little bit odd to me...
  14. Whaoo, very impressive! Transport aircrafts at that scale are not my cup of tea as I found them too challenging but your is flawless...That's great 72eme, congratulations!
  15. Great 72eme! I did a Seaking last year, from Cyberhobby.com, which was quite fine. Dont know about the Airfix one... Just a little remark about the antenna wire on the right side, could be thinner I guess. Congratulation for such a beauty!
  16. Absolutely awesome! can't imagine the number of hours spent to tackle this vacform kit...
  17. Whaooo! what a result! absolutely awesome! Camo and weathering are top class.
  18. Thank you much! in addition to being the ugliest two seater of a fighter, the "Tub" was also shortest in length than the single variant, a unique feature for a fighter...
  19. Hello Fellow Modelers! Back to the forum to present to you a kit that took me ages to build! I have grafted the greek brand "Grand Model" TF-102 resin nose to the F-102A Meng model. During that conversion, I discovered a lot of problems and inaccuracies, both from Meng and GM... The greek product is completely weird in size and proportion, (nose shape, intakes, canopy...), very disappointing. If glued straight to the cut Meng fuselage, the size of the aircraft is one centimeter longer than expected! Crap! The Meng model is far from being flawless, among the mistakes are the panel lines which are too deep and wrongly positioned for some of them. To add a little more spice to the build, I redid completely the missile bay, which is also inaccurate. The list of changes and modifications is too long to be posted here, if somebody is interested, the history of the work is there: https://www.master194.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=124329 . (Unfortunately it is in french.) Here are the photos, supposedly showing a TF-102A case X from the 431st FIS based in Zaragosa, quite attractive with the "Satan Angel" face on the tail. (bigger than the one on the single seaters): The real one (I found only two BW photos): Mine: As a conclusion, too much efforts and works for a disappointing result, I still find out that there is something weird somewhere... When Hasegawa, Tamiya or Meng will put one on the market??? Thank you for watching, critiques most welcomed!
  20. Outstanding result from an oldies! You've made the most of it!
