  1. Main landing gear covers. Entirely Eduard PE. Just for comparision with the original plastic part:
  2. Front landing gear bay. Eduard photo-etched parts are used.
  3. Hello everyone, Here is my new project - the F-106A by Trumeter. Pretty good model, not the best, but cool. I have started with some auxiliary parts - the drop tanks: AIM-4D Falcon rockets with some decal upgrades:
  4. Yes, I've got the picture. Thanks alot Pete! My intention is to open this hatches: Do you have any pictures or drawings for this areas? I want to know what is beneath those hatches. Then I will make a 3D files and will print the parts. I can't find nowhere information, is in yopur book something?
  5. Hello all, I just started my Javelin in 1/48 from Airfix. The kit is from 2016 and unfortunatelly I can't find the Eduard's photo etch. So anyway, I will assebly it without PE parts. But I am looking for a some different look of the model. I will try to make the cannons open and also I really like to open the engines a little bit. Does somebody have any pictures or drwaings of the Javenin's armament and engines?
  6. It's very hard to believe this is in 1/72. Great assembly and excelent painting and weathering. Superb!!!
  7. Yes, they come with the kit. A very small fret of photo-etched parts is included. Small but very useful.
  8. Good afternoon! I'd like to present you my latest built and finished model - PZL P.7a of the polish company Arma Hobby. It is their first mold and it is a cute little thing. Small quantity of parts, easy for building and complete short, fast and fun project. Enjoy!
  9. Great job! And excellent weathering!!!
  10. Hello, This is my latest build. Superb kit with wonderfull livery. I love it!
  11. Perfect, just perfect!!! I love it!!! It may be a liiitle bit dirtier, but it is OK this way.
  12. To be honest - I have planed to make wash on the undercarriage bays, but I wanted to keep it clean as possible. It looks little sterile like this, but I don't want dirt in the bays on whole clean aircraft.
  13. Good day friends! I'd like to present to you my latest complete project - the belgium F-16 MLU in colorfull and very exciting anniversary livery. The kit is the Revell's, well known to many of you. It appear on the market in 2000 and up to now have 16 different issues, most of them in colorfull camouflages, like tigermeet airplanes and etc. The current livery is most exciting livery for my own. It was created by the Happy Design Studio for the 100tg anniversary of 1st squadron "Stingers". More for the kit and the plane you can read here: F-16 MLU kit and plane The painting process you can watch here: F-16 MLU painting Beutifully aranged colors and shapes and huge and pretty Scottish thistle on the fin. And their moto "Nemo me impune lacessit" (No one provokes me with impunity) on the external fuel tanks. The decals in the kit represent the color stripes and all painting on the fin very well, but from my own opinion the colors of the stripes are wrong. The original colors are actualy the standard F-16 camouflage colors. Compared with them, the Revell decals look darker and wrong. Ecpecially the yellow stripes are in difeerend, more warmer tone than the original. You can see the bright, lemon yellow in the video. Therefore I have decided to make the camo on my own using paints. After cockpit assembly, some rescribing and riveting to improve the panel lines I started with the yellow areas. After drying of the paint it was sanded down to remove sharp borders between colors and to blend it with the surounding surface. At the end the yellow was polished. The horizontal stabilizers were also painted, sanded and polished: After that with templates based on the original decals, I have positioned masks and covered the yellow zone. The front yellow stripes are masked with 0.7mm wide masking stripe. The all model was painted with undersurface color light gray. And then started with masking for the second middle gray color. And after painting with middle gray, masked for the black: I have used the great semi-gloss black of Mr. Hobby. From here on all remaing thing was easy. I have changed the original AIM-120 rockets with Eduard's resin ones. The fin decals are just perfectly sized and shaped. The just laid without any problem. The whole decals design work is stunning! Here is the result: Details: . As you can see all stripes are perfectly aligned. The yellow stripes on the horizontal stabilezers are aligned with the feuselage stripes. And few more pictures:
  14. Excellnt work! Beаutiful! And honestly very surpised , I have done the same, just with opened spoilers.
