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.
  15. Me too, despite having two Eduard boxings of the Mauve kit and three of the Hasegawa P-40's and a Hobbycraft F/L in the stash. I think I need to get at least one built before I start adding Eduard ones.
  16. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/mKRAi3z2HQz2mzrq/ Jan Pidrman is working on 1/48 scale P-40E design. The kit will be released during autumn 2024.
  17. Very nice work. Looks great with all that red on it.
  18. Unfortunately the video of the 365th FG showing this aircraft, isn't clear enough to see the serial number on the tail. I would go with what the Hell Hawks book has for these two aircraft.
  19. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/BjMdikqTkVn5V8G2/ Due to the significant interest, we are revisiting the post regarding the completion of the mold for the P-51B Mustang fuselage of 1/48 scale kit. A brief video from our tool shop depicts the process of utilizing a copper electrode for electrical discharge machining of the injection mold surface details in dielectric fluid. A substantial electrode of this nature operates continuously for nearly two days to machine the mold surface. Therefore, we extend our best wishes for a pleasant remainder of Sunday, whether spent with plastic models or engaging in other enjoyable activities. Meanwhile, our electrodes are hard at work for you!
  20. https://www.facebook.com/share/YcF1wAYp8oMF6GNS/ Today, we present to you the fourth and final part of the renders concerning our May release, composed for you by our colleague designer, “Stan” Archman. Once again, he highlights the distinctions from our 1/48 scale P-51D kit. As evidenced by the photo taken during our trip to the USA, he is deeply engaged in hands-on activities with Mustangs. 14. The fin is now part of one of the fuselage options 15. New propeller for post-war racing aircraft added 16. The racks, despite their complexity, are designed in one piece
  21. https://www.facebook.com/EduardCompany/posts/pfbid0n6gKCQv8vriaweqCDQLzwan5EXx94rqMpDcLdffyjvTii4VtzA3JLMw8z5gKdbVCl In the third part of the renders for our May release, our colleague “Stan” Archman has highlighted several features that are linked to the Malcom Hood canopy. 11. The closed Malcolm Hood is designed in one piece including the rear rails. This allowed us to not create a another fuselage while not forcing the modeler to glue the thin lines separately. 12. The cockpit sidewalls are designed separately for the Malcolm Hood and the Birdcage canopy cockpits. This eliminates the need to add a lot of detail to make these sidewalls different because of the running gear. 13. For the open Malcolm Hood, a faithful representation of the running gear with chain is provided as an separate part. This detail has to be a separate part because otherwise a realistic version of the model with a closed canopy would not have been created.
  22. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/PPhwTmdMAzfyHmKr/ DHC-2 Beaver sprue design, 1/48
  23. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/zKCraWPsZDKK9ziQ/ In the second part of the renders for our May release, our colleague “Stan” Archman has highlighted several features that will be present in the cockpit detail assembly and the “Birdcage” canopy. Stay tuned for the “Malcolm” canopy renderings in our next update! 7. The right side of the open part of the Birdcage canopy is one piece despite its complexity. 8. The closed canopy of Birdcage is designed as a separate piece. 9. The left side of the Birdcage is all one piece. Only the trim wheel is glued on. 10. In the interior we tried to make the parts as compact as possible. The proof of this is the header and the strut behind it, which despite the many details are only two pieces.
  24. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/62SkPSJ3KP43tx6x/ "Today, we conducted the inaugural test of the new Mustang wing mold, and you can assess for yourself the initial outcome of the molding. We're bustlin' away with preparations for the other molds, so hold onto your hat, 'cause it's gonna be one heck of a rodeo with those Mustangs soon!"
