kalle Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Hi everyone, I try my first post here. My name is Kalle (38 old/young) and I live in Estonia. I started building models when I was a little boy, when only models available was few poor quality USSR copies of old Frog molds. But I build them all:) Then game a long long period of not building at all. And around 8 years ago I start it again. Now I have some 40 completed models and 400+ not started in boxes, so I´m not quick builder at all. I like prop. planes and I have them in different ages, all 1/72. And as my english is not so good and writind is even harder, I better be showing some pics. Hope you like it BR, Kk 9
Marv Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Kalle: Terrific work...those are some that we don't see everyday. Thanks for posting, and keep them coming.
erikmuntz Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Great! My family is from Estonia, but now I'm in the United States! Very cool models there and they look great. Keep posting!
pte1643 Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Didn't even know there was a model of a Wellington VI. Nice collection of unusual subjects.
tango98 Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Hi Kalle, Welcome and thanks for showing us some of your models. Very nice indeed. Regards Dave
rowmk9 Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Superb! Welcome to Britmodeller Kalle. Your models are very nice and very unusual, I hope to see more of your work.
cheeley Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Welcome Kalle! Your models are very good, and so is your English. It's nice to see some different subjects, I hope we will see more Chris
Iain Ogilvie Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Wow - love the Wellington V and the Fairey Hendon! Iain
Bertie McBoatface Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Welcome to the gang! I like your models very much. The big biplane is remarkable; great rigging. I also like the Wellington because one of the high-altitude Wellingtons W5795 exploded over my village during the war. There is a memorial in our church to the five crew: "In Memory Of The Crew Of Wellington Mk VI W5795 Who Tragically Lost Their Lives On 12 July 1942 In A Crash In The Quarry Farm Area Of This Parish - We Will Remember Them" There were many witnesses on a warm summer evening, some playing cricket, tennis or boating on the park. The aircraft was seen to dive vertically from about 30,000 feet to 15,000 feet where it exploded scattering wreckage over a wide area. I cannot read the serial on your model, Kalle. I wonder if it is the same one?
Mike DeTorrice Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 What a wonderful aircraft replica collection and a great deal of excellent model building evident there, too ! Very nice indeed ! Mike
pte1643 Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Fairey Hendon! Thank you... I was wracking my brains out trying to think of the name.
kev67 Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Very nice, some very unusual aircraft that do not see very often
Radleigh Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Lovely models! Can I ask why the DC-3 has the hub thingys over the engines?
Troffa Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 A great collection of some very rarely seen aircraft- I have no idea what half of them are! Welcome to Britmodeller Kalle!
kalle Posted November 18, 2011 Author Posted November 18, 2011 Great! My family is from Estonia, but now I'm in the United States! Very cool models there and they look great. Keep posting! This is suppose to be Mk V only two of them built. VI is almost same only with inline engines and little more. And this is mixed kit my own. Nose is Unicraft resin, and it all look like this in the beginning so this is Italeri+Frog+Unicraft kit:) Kk 1
kalle Posted November 18, 2011 Author Posted November 18, 2011 Can I ask why the DC-3 has the hub thingys over the engines? This is Douglas XCG-17, glider project of C-47, so there is no engines. Wheels is in like gear in landing trials. Kk 1

tank152 Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Hi Kalle, you've some nicely built obscure aircraft there, look forward to seeing more.
kalle Posted November 18, 2011 Author Posted November 18, 2011 First of all i`d like to say thanks for your kind complement. So much for notes that Blohm Voss BV-142 is Airmodel vacu, and Ilya Muromets is ICM. And there is little more.

Bertie McBoatface Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 (edited) wow this some interesting story! and sad. But as this is Mk V, it`s not the same.Kk Oh yes. I did not notice the radial engines. I like your second set of photographs too. You build very unusual subjects! Edited November 18, 2011 by per ardua ad ostentationem
occa Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 (edited) Wow, not only are these the non-mainstream subjects I am crazy for but also you built them extremely convincingly. Cannot stop looking at the pics ... Edited November 19, 2011 by occa
