SarmaT Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Hello everyone! Originally I’m from Donetsk – the town where the toy factory produced most of the FROG/NOVO kits from 70-s till 90-s. So I’m sniffing the model glue since I was seven. The trouble is that I’m trying to embrace in modeling everything and at once: military aviation from biplanes to jets (including Luft’46), AFV and miniatures. Now, mostly making aircrafts in 1/72, sometimes AFV in both 1/35 and 1/72, and my son hooked me on Warhammer minies. And as a result of that – not being an expert in any subject. On the top of that, the amount of the boxes at my apartment (probably, like with many other model fans in the world) is just a little bit less than in a shop. But I adore them all and want to improve my skills and make each new model better. Thanks for allowing me to join the forum and hope for new interesting builds with your help! 46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socjo1 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Warm regards, mate! You show us very interesting models, I hope see another! Michal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr T Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Welcome to the forum, your models look very nice from the pictures. I am a 72nd scale aircraft modeller, and been modelling pretty well from coming back to the hobby in about 1977-8, although lost most of them in the course of moves etc. Stay safe in these awful times for your country and people. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I registrated at the forum, looked through some models for inspection and couldn't pass by your Tornado. Read the whole build though that was fast)). Great model, congratulation!

Smudge Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Welcome aboard. Your models are awesome. Looking forward to seeing more amazing 1/72 aeroplanes. Is that an old Novo Ventura? Good luck and best wishes to you and your family. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my works I pay more attention to the artistic part rather than technical compliance. I still have some NOVO models left and from time to time build them with special attachment using them mostly as an art palette 😜 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, there are Komet models in 1/48 and 1/32 scale as well. As for Academy it’s a good quality and reasonable price. Besides, it allows to build twin seater as well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Hello SarmaT … from Chicago in the USA. I mostly build military aviation with the odd piece of armor or Sci-fi. Sometimes I wish I was still 20 as Id probably have volunteered to help in Ukraine. Dennis Slava Ukraini🇺🇦 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I’m sniffing the model glue since I was seven. Hi and welcome @SarmaT I often wondered about the factory that made the NOVO kits and where it was - I'd imagined it being somewhere in Siberia for no real reason. A stall in an indoor market where I lived stocked them and have fond memories of buying loads of them in the 80's; ridiculously cheap prices for ex Frog EE Lightnings, Canberras, Buccaneers, Harriers, Hunters etc - Britmodeller heaven! I still have a box full of them in my loft. I thought it a very odd that such types were being made or even allowed in the USSR at the time! Plastic modelling does seem rich and vibrant in Ukraine with a number of manufacturers making fantastic kits (imaginative subjects and superb quality). I still rate the ICM 1/48 OV-10A as the kit of the year. That's a great job you've done on the Ventura. Best wishes Rich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
