Hello! After recently finishing my gannet I decided to finish another "purgatory shelf" model (what I call my shelf of doom/old WIPs). The Eduard MiG-21 is a lovely kit, I just lost interest in it for a while. During the Summer Holidays I finally had a chance to go back home to Hungary again (after three years!) and I visited the Szolnok Reptár Aerospace museum. It was brilliant. Being up close and personal with all these aircraft inspired me to finally go back and finish my MiG and I must say I am very pleased with the result! Without further ado, here she is; In the end I ended up having a lot of fun with this model and the aftermarket decals by HADmodels behaved well. Only issue was the stencils were misnumbered and I had to do most of it by eye, I can still definitely recommend it though if you have good reference photos (which I did because of my museum visit ). I hope you all enjoyed looking at this and thank you for looking. Next up (probably): Trumpy 1:72 Westland Wyvern -
I stumbled across the Toldi a few months ago and knew that I wanted to build one right away. Germany would not supply its allies during WWII, so Hungary decided to build its own. Sweden was one of the few countries prepared to sell to Hungary, and they had what was at the time (1934) one of the best tanks around in the L-60 with sloped, welded armour and torsion bar suspension. Hungary purchased a licence and began to produce their own as means of kickstarting their industry. After many production delays they finally arrived already obsolete with just a 20mm gun and poor armour. A few attempts to up-gun them failed, and when they came up against Russian T-34s they didn't stand a chance. I've started with the HobbyBoss Toldi I. I bought an SBS resin and PE upgrade set, but have barely used anything other than the lights and storage chest clasps. A metal SBS 20mm gun barrel is on there too. It's built other than the upper/lower hull that I'll be able to leave until the very end. The weird circular aerial will go on last, and fall off within a week... The HobbyBoss individual link tracks are absolutely awful, they just don't fit together without forcing them so after making up about 1/3 of one side I gave up and shopped around. Way over-priced but I now have a set of Friul metal tracks to put together (I'm a Friul virgin, so it will be fun). Here it is in primer: And here is what I'm aiming at (excuse the shadows, my light is directly above my desk, useless for taking photos) I love these odd markings. A green cross on a red octagon? Who can that be? It will be finished simply, I've realised that I love the build, hate the painting, so I'm just after a nice clean finish for everything that I do from now on. A Toldi III in olive drab will soon join it on the shelf.

Hello! This is one of my freshly finished models. My first hungarian plane but not the last at all. The base kit is eduard's wonderful 109G-6 and upgraded it with the BigSin package (DB605 engine, radio compartment, propeller and machine guns, wheels). The resin parts are superb in detail quality but the fit into the fuselage was terrible. It's an eduard product that must fit into an another eduard product...but the reality is that you must forget the instructions and make dozens of dryfits (especially with the engine) or you will mess all of it. A lot more surgery is needed on the base kit to fit the resin into it. But the results are satisfying in my opinion. There are only one photo about this "red 2" Messer, it shows repaired damaged on the left wing painted with RLM02. The paintjob done with Mr. aqueous color acrilycs sprayed with a H&S Evolution 0.2mm. Hope you like it. -
Su-22 Fitter K | 1/144 | Minicraft Hungary I finished this one on 6/7/2020. The Su-22 is the export version of the Su-17 Fitter, which itself is a variable geometry adaptation of the Su-7 Fitter. If you love masking this is the kit for you! Not only did it have a 4-color camouflage scheme, but the pylons had to be masked for 3 different colors and the flash-guard by the guns had to be masked. It was still quite a bit of fun. I purchased this a couple years ago for practically nothing (maybe $5?). At the time I was really getting into Sukhoi aircraft and it seemed like the 1/72 kits of this plane were either hard to find or expensive, so this fit the bill at the time! The kit was better than most Minicraft 1/144 models I've done, however it confirms my first law of modeling: If something is designed to be shown in one position, it will look terrible in another position. In this case, the canopy was designed to be shown open, so of course, gluing it closed revealed a large gap at the bottom of the canopy. If I'd known it early in the build, I would've filled it, but as is I left it because it's hard to see when its on the shelf. Paints: Mr. Surfacer 1500 black > Mr. Color 303 / 302 / 312 / 310 top > Hataka RLM 65 / Ak interactive polished aluminum (bottom) Decals: Kit decals This picture's a little blurry but shows the different metal shades used: Alclad Stainless Steel (with a dusting of dark aluminum) for the gun flash-guards, Alclad RAF high speed silver for the drop-tanks and lower half of the pylons, and Testor's gunmetal for the guns. Thanks for looking! Questions, comments and constructive criticism welcomed!

M40 Nimrod Tank Destroyer & Armoured AA Gun Armour Of The Royal Hungarian Army ISBN : 9786155583148 Peko Publishing Hungary was caught at the end of WWI on the wrong side and was treated harshly by the Allies. Under the 1920 treaty of Trianon they lost nearly half their population and more than 60% of their territory to hostile boarding nations. Which is the reason the joined the Axis forces in WWII, however it would seem they chose the wrong side again! The Hungarian Army knew they had to modernise and they needed a vehicle which could act as a tank destroyer and a mobile armoured AA gun. The solution to this actually lay in Sweden; Hungary was already producing the L-60 tank under licence as the 38M, and they were producing the 40mm Bofors gun under license as well. The L-60 chassis was modified to accept a large open topped turret for a single 40mm gun. As well as firing the standard ammunition types the Hungarians developed their own anti tank round for the gun. This could penetrate 46mm of armour at 100m and 30mm at 1000m. Internally the Nimrod carried 640 rounds. Later as it was found the 40mm gun was not effective against Soviet tanks the guns were all re-designated as anti aircraft units. They would still act in support of troop movements though, and late into the war they were fitted with a rocket grenade round that fitted over the barrel in a similar way to that of a rifle grenade. 135 Nimrods were built. A prototype LEHEL Armoured Ambulance was made from one chassis by removing the turret. The book is A4 hardcover in landscape format and 120 pages long, It is illustrated throughout with large black and white photos on every page showing all aspects o the vehicles operation. Conclusion This book will give the reader a very good look at this unusual vehicle. Highly Recommended. Review sample courtesy of

This is the Eduard 1/72 L39 Albatros from the 'around the world' two-kit boxing. Instead of kit decals, I have used a set by Kopro to make this specially marked Hungarian Air Force example from 2008 called 'Capeti II'. The decals are very thin and rather difficult to manage, and the kit - though it looks great in the box - is surprisingly poor in terms of fit. In the end though, it looks like an L39; so anyway here it is. -
Hi, From my archive shelf - Messerschmitt Me 108 in Hungarian markings during WWII. The Heller kit, very small modifications (imitation of cylinders, handles behind canopy...). I have not corrected the main flaw - the too narrow fuselage and canopy, Sorry - I've learnt about it already years after construction of model.... Comments welcome Regards Jerzy-Wojtek

Hi, everybody. Today I'd like to show you something unique. First, I start with the kit. In 1/72 scale the Revell have a nice line of FW-190 in different modifications, but the main kit is allways the same. As I see, its a good one, there are just some smaller and one big problems. The smallers are 4ie. the huge rivets around the cockpit, some fiction with the panel lines of the wings, and a litle burr. The biggest is the central wall between the main landing gears's bays. But dont give a ... the building can be pretty fast because the parts fits well. I made only some little scratch upgrades such as pitot tube, the barells of the guns, exhaust made from injection needles, the shader sheet of the dashboard replaced with a thin aluminium plate, and the canopy a wacuum formed one insted of the opaline horror given by the Revell. And the wing pilons are home made too. The painting: There was no hesitation, I wanted to do it with Hungarian markings. I already had the HAD's mixed decal sheet (http://www.hadmodels.com/matric%C3%A1k%20/rep%C3%BCl%C5%91g%C3%A9pekhez/1:72/72061_bf__109_ju_87d_fw_190_f_8_matrica_172_1305) so I made the W+521. They were painted to the Luftwaffe standard, the only differences are the national and tachtical markings of the Magyar Királyi Honvéd Légierő - Royal Hungarian (deffense) Air Force. The paint are the according Model Master RLM colours. The barrels of the guns needed some upgrade and also some exgaust holes were missing. Almost done: Done: Nuclear blast:

Hello, I'd like to show you my still rudimentary effort in building the Italeri (ex ESCI) MiG-23 in 1/48. It has lots of known inaccuracies, I will try to correct some of them.... for my personal motivation: Hungarian Airforce 1990ies MiG-23 MF@ airliners MiG-23 MF@ airliners Incredients: Italeri MiG-23 MF Eduard BiG ED for MIg-23 Flogger Resin nose for the MIg-29 from fox3tornado (ebay, US) that resemles the floggers nose quite well. (Quickboosts Mig-29 resin version is noticably different ) various bits and bytes form Eduard excellent Mig-21 kits (R-60, pylons, maybe canopy parts, seat) I've already started cutting and some modification: more in the next post!
