Now, he is working on a Brassin cockpit for the upcoming new 1/48 scale P-51B kit. Besides that Jan is also modeller (as you can see on the second monitor, where is his 1/48 Tempest Mk.II model), he is also an astrophotographer."

  5. Pretty good work. A 0.35mm nozzle is perfectly able to do fine work in this scale. One model I did with a 0.35mm nozzle, I got the mottling too tight and had to clean it off and redo. I'm still not that great at it though.
  6. That's one sexy looking Crusader. Nice one 👍
  7. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/G3Ud5Vp4meH397Je/ "Today, we are presenting images of the moulds for the fuselage and small parts, including details of the landing gear well. The last picture depicts the support plate with holes for the ejectors and holders, which are essential for the stability of the moulding during the final phase of pressing process. We strategically place the ejectors so that they leave marks on the sprue or parts of the kit that will not be visible when the model is assembled. Have you already pre-ordered your 1/48th scale P-51B Mustang kit? Pre-orders are available on our e-shop until March 18th. Please note that the Royal Class edition can only be pre-ordered from us or from our partners and their distribution network." https://www.eduard.com/preorders/ On third image you can see where the slide mould goes for the exhausts and gun barrels.
  8. https://www.facebook.com/share/Qyox5A4HUwFzAT4d/ Are you following pre-orders of the 1/48 P-51B Mustang editions at our webstore? Pre-order event is ending on March 18, 2024! Lot of work is behind us. This is how the mould looks after finishing the fine surface details. You can see the copper electrodes have had a lot “fire” during electrical discharge machining process!
  9. Eduard have used slide molds plenty - Spit Mk.IX and Mk.I/V guns and exhausts, A6M exhaust, P-51D exhausts, Fw190A guns. They don't usually use a raised frame though, often just the frame is just not there in front of those items.
  10. Here's some pictures of one I've got from a museum which might help. Note this type seems to have a seam down the middle. Not sure the description is accurate though.
  11. Probably yes, I don't have any other detail on it. Note the resin description is MTO and PTO, though I don't recall seeing them in the PTO.
  12. I believe this tank was made by using two 75 gal tank halves and extending them for a larger capacity. You can see the top of the tank in this photo. There's a 1/48th scale resin one available here - https://thundercals.com/resin-tanks/
  13. I think it's just the angle it's being viewed at as the grid is also at an angle.
  14. https://www.facebook.com/share/tVautW736J7Qz4Cs/ Our upcoming April release of Gustav Part 2 in 1/72 scale will focus on the late Bf 109G-6 and Bf 109G-14. The kit will be issued as a Limited Edition Dual Combo under catalog number 2145. It will include also a plastic sprue featuring a lower wing surface suitable for mounting a Morane-type antenna. Some parts in the mold, such as those for the fuselage, will be adjusted to align with the specific focus of the kit on particular Bf 109 production designs in WW2. Additionally, the sprue will contain parts intended for later versions of the Bf 109, which will be utilized in future kits.
