    A closeup photo of rivets... i didn't want to go overboard with exposing rivets, but they are there. If it's worth the hard work? I think so,

    I think you will enjoy Hobby2000 (trimaster) one better. This is a challenge to build. And the details are quite soft.

    Hi folks, may I present my latest (and longest) project. Started this beast 2 years ago, ZM Ta-152-H1 in 1/48. It's retty difficult to build due to strange parts brakdown, lots of filling and sanding was required to finish it off. I was lucky enough to get the PE parts for it, but the most time consuming was placing of HGW rivets over the entire airframe. Painted with MRP Paints, weathered with oils. Enjoy the pics!

    Built this one a while ago. Kinetic F-18C kit. Terrible fit issues, especially around the nose area and engine intakes (hence the covers) Extras used: Aires Aces ejection seat and Exhausts nozzles, Eduard PE set, Res-kit wheels,Cam-Pro decals and HGW RBF tags. Painted with MRP Paints, weathered with combination of Mig and Abteilung oils.

    My latest completed model. This time F-117A from Tamiya. Markings for 82-0806, 7th FS, "Vega 31", shot down over Serbia on 27 March 1999, during the NATO bombing. Nice kit, easy to build, but you can go overboard with adding details, especially in bomb bays and wheelbays as I did. Expect full build article soon in Air modeller magazine. Kit: Tamiya (kit no. 61059) Aftermarket used: Eduard PE, (49286) Resin wheels from Res-kit (RS48-0016) Aires Aces II seat (4144) Quinta cockpit decals (QD48169) Decals: Caracal models (CD48138) Paints used: MRP paints, weathered with oils from Abteilung. The actuall piece of the shot down F-117.

    Good day! Here is my latest work, Kittyhawk's UH-1D Huey in 1/48 scale. The model itself is not as good as Tamiya or Edurad, but it is by far the best one in 1/48th scale. I had some minor problems during the assembly, but nothing that couldn't be fixed. The major drawback are the instructions, so keep that in mind if you want to build one. Referneces and photos are crucial with this build. I have to thank mr. Floyd Werner for all the provided photos and information. Without them, I would be lost. Enough talking, enjoy the pics. Model: Kitty Hawk 1/48 UH-1D Huey Extras: Eduard 49861 - interior Eduard Fe862 - seatbelts Eduard EX564 - masks Eduard 49022 - Ammo boxes Paints used: MRP Weathering: Ammo Mig products. Some historical photos. Note the interior green door and aeleron. Same helicopter at the beginning of the tour. Side doors were still installed. But they have been removed later on during the tour.

    Hi Nikola. Thanks for compliments. So... canopy. I clean it first with mild soap, then polish it with Tamiya rubbing compound (superfine) to make it really shiny. Masking: I usually just take the easiest way and buy precut masks - usually from Eduard. But I also mask the canopy from inside too. For that, I use tamiya tape and make an inside mask a bit larger than outside one. It is a tedious job. Painting: Remember to apply paint in really light coats, don't flood the canopy with paint as it could creep under the masking tape. So slowly build up layers of paints until it's covered. First, apply cockpit color from inside and outside of the canopy, then apply the outside camouflage paint. (i hope that make sense). Remove the masks at the end of the build, when all the weathering and clars are sprayed. Remove the masks with toothpick - dont use tweezers as you may accidentaly scratch the canopy.

    Well, not really as they come in pretty large segments. Preping the surface before applying them was the most tedious job as the surface needs to be perfect.

    Good day friends! Here is my latest work, Oldie goldie P-47D Razorback from Tamiya. Superb kit, no major fit issues. This is the first time I've used HGW positive rivets and although they demand some extra work (filling already made rivetholes on the kit), the result is well worth it in my opinion. I used Eduard PE set, Quickboost engine, CMK resin wheels, HGW seatbelts, stencils and positive rivets. Decals are from Kitsworld, although the insignias were airbrushed. All the paints used are from MRP, weathering was Ammo affair (oilbrushers, washes, dust effects etc.) I hope you like it, enjoy the pics!

    Hi, here is the model I've completed last year. Tamiya's F-14 with added extras, Brassin cockpit and armament, some PE from Eduard and Furball decals. Painted with MRP paints, weathered with AMMO weathering products.

    Amazing finish! Great job!

    From brassin range of missiles. It says that they are 9M's on the packaging.... Don't tell me this are wrong. I'm not touching this kit anymore...
  16. gregax
    Not at all! It's always good to get a comment from an expert. And i actually found that missing tail antenna. Thanks! Didn't know about this either!
  17. gregax
    Well, this is a mistake, but i guess only a couple of experts would be aware of. I hope you won't be a judge judging this model in a near future
