October 23, 2021This one I assembled in like three consecutive days!!!3
October 23, 2021One failed attempt to replicate the intricate italian WW II camo...4
October 23, 2021Still, I like the final effect 😉5
October 23, 2021My first attempt to highlight the panel lines with a wash...6
October 23, 2021I always liked the overall look of MiG-3, though 😉7
October 23, 20218
October 23, 2021Attempt at rigging the biplane...if I only used the thinner rubber band here...9
October 23, 202110
October 23, 2021Applying these decals was a nightmare - they are stiff and instead of reacting on softening liquids these just ripped...11
October 23, 2021But my friends' little sons were absolutely delighted when I gave them this model 🙂12

October 23, 2021Surprisingly enough, the decals in this kit cooperated perfectly - take a look at the lemon yellow stripes on the wings.14

March 19, 2023Only three parts (+ missing headlight).23
March 24, 2023Full 3D print - no assembly, just painting (nevertheless, I have lost one of the headlights to my carpet monster when masking the model... I had to reconstruct it...)24

May 19, 2023C2P - Polish artillery tractor on a basis of TKS tankette from "First to fight" range. I know that my weathering is a bit overdone (especially on the canvas cover 😉31
July 19, 2023Not that very "easy assembly" kit - interestingly enough, there are no air-scoops for the superchargers in the kit. I've fashoned these from the leftover Bf 109 ones, even though these are not of the accurate shape...32

July 19, 2023Of course, decals are mix of aftermarket and kit ones 😉34

September 18, 2023It is a pity that decals do not match the size of the horizontal empennage (not mentioning that these are not adequate - missing the "broken" heart. The ones in the front are too short. Despite the fact I gave the decal sheet a coat of gloss varnish they remained brittle...)41
September 18, 2023Mira Slovak's famous glider christened "The Poor Immigrant"42
October 15, 2023Polish prime mover D-350 "Mazur" (based on T-54A tank)43

December 23, 2023Another "shake-and-bake" kit. Unfortunately the decal representing a regimental symbol on the left side of the turred went AWOL...49

February 24, 2024I decided to add "Harriers" to give a sense of scale to both submarines.53
May 31, 2024Henschel Hs 132 prototype (the old Huma kit)54

June 11, 2024Generally a snap-fit kit with movable wings. Yet needed a bit of putty on the ventral side of the fuselage, and after painting the fit of movable parts becomes a bit too tight to move them freely without a risk of damage.

Album info
I like these since they serve me as simple and relatively cheap "canvases" to try new modelling, painting and weathering skills... And I always have something on my shelf that I can give to my friend's sons, when they visit me 😉
