Bruce HuxtableIf my best were as good as your worst, I would be very happy 🙂👍 A-Model do provide lots of fun challenges 😉

Robert PodkońskiEither you are too kind to me, Bruce, or too harsh to yourself 😉 Your models are much better than mine. Thanks, nevertheless 🙂

Bruce HuxtableAu contraire, Robert. I have yet to try my hand at a bare metal finish, or indeed add fine antennae or rigging. I've only tried a few PE extras, and still only add paint by brush. The finishes you achieve are superb and thus inspirational, and there is never a hint of dodgy filler anywhere 👍👍👍

Robert BlokkerA bit of wash filter or pinwash here and there would already lift them up but actually they are not bad at all

Robert PodkońskiThanks again, Robert... actually almost all of these flew away to my friends' sons already 😉

MarkAnother collection of fantastic beasts, all beautifully finished. 👍 May I ask of photo 19, what is the aircraft type?

Robert PodkońskiThank you, Mark, you're too kind to me. This is a kit of a prototype VTOL plane with thrust augmented wing concept:

Alex KI very much like the Ford Flivver, the Payen and the Bugatti...! 👍 ... and, of course, I do wish my not-so-well built models were as good as your "not-so-well" built models!

Robert PodkońskiThank you very much, Alex, you're too kind to me 🙂 It seems like we like similar topics 😉 The three you mentioned are my favourite ones too.

Marcin DudekI saw some of them (including Ford) and they are grate. Plus It is always a nice suprise to discover a machine I have never heard about before.

Villiers de VosA very unique collection. Very interesting and expertly finished.

Łukasz GlińskiSo many nice builds not to belong to such album 😛 (Ford, Arado, DC-9, Dewoitine, Chaika, Delta, Optica and Saro... where the heck did you find the latter one?! 😮 )
And Eclipse doesn't seem to be such a past build either 😛
23 January 2023, 20:22
Robert PodkońskiThank you, Mates, much appreciated.
@Lukasz - there are many different reasons to archivize the photos. I am sure you're smart enough to figure it out by yourself (hint - the printed modellers' magazine in the descriptions of some models presented 😉 )

Villiers de VosA beautiful and unique collection Robert. Thank you for sharing.
24 January 2023, 12:39
Andy BallWhat an eclectic bunch of builds! All wonderfully done too, don't know why you haven't shared them sooner!!
24 January 2023, 12:51
Robert PodkońskiYou're too kind, Andy, thank you. (Frankly - I had to find these photos on my 15 years old computer and transfer them "manually" with a memory stick 🙂 )
24 January 2023, 13:33
JohnVery nice collection Robert. Love the unique types, thank you, very inspiring !
24 January 2023, 16:27
SpanjaardExcellent collection, pictures look good, and models look fantastic. Only thing wrong is the introduction "not so well assembled" 😉
26 January 2023, 23:17
Robert PodkońskiNo Spitfire neither Mustang, too... (in fact, I am going to assemble my very first Bf-109 in near future... in the Luftwaffe der R.O.A markings 😉 )
12 July 2023, 16:42
Robert PodkońskiThank you, Henry 🙂 It took me some time to find the kit, but it was worth the trouble...
13 July 2023, 06:08
Zbynek HonzikThat's a very original collection! I like it very much.
The ones I like the most are the Ford Flivver, AG-4 Crusader, Bristol Racer and of course the Edgley Optica. Awesome pieces! 👏👏👏

Philmeidosem -1/72Superbe boulot! quelle finesse! 🙂 Cela m'évoque Léonard de Vinci et également "L'Éole" de Clément Ader! En tout cas, encore bravo.

bughunterCool little glider! 1:160 seems to be very little as it is not big in bigger scales.
25 July, 09:59
Robert PodkońskiThank you very much, Philippe and Bughunter. @Philippe - I purchased it when I visited Le Bourget museum for a very first time - they sold AeroBase kits at that time... I heard somewhere that AeroBase kits are now to be purchased in some shop in the underground gallery adjacent to the entrance to the Louvre Museum...
@Bughunter - I plan to build the famous Lilienthal biplane glider soon from the same manufacturer 😉 Its span is about 4 cm actually...so not very small 😉
25 July, 10:10
bughunterLong ago I found some Aerobase kits in museums shops in Germany, but I bought only bigger ones. The 1894 glider in 1:48 is still in my stash 😉
25 July, 10:18
Robert PodkońskiLucky you! 🙂 Recently they produced a few fantastic kits...what is even more frustrating, since they are almost impossible to be purchased in Europe...
25 July, 12:33
bughunterYou can still buy them, international shipping for 12€ sounds fair: aerobase.jp/en/
Oh, some new kits!
25 July, 13:16
Robert PodkońskiI know I could buy them from Japan, but our customs office charges a tax as well as a handling fee...
25 July, 13:45
Philmeidosem -1/72Good morning Robert! When I come back to Paris on vacation or on a weekend (I lived there for 22 years and my in-laws live there) I can go to the Louvre and I will tell you if there are indeed models from Aerobase…
1 August, 08:06
Robert PodkońskiThank you for the offer, Philmedosem 🙂 It would be great. I have a few friends in Paris and I suppose I could ask them to buy something for me. In fact, I've been to Paris like two years ago, but did not know about this shop 😭 ... Delfonics it is, according to the info on the AeroBase webpage.

MelAw this is cute. I love those ancient planes - and your model is soooo tiny. Great work
