Easy Ones

 

This one I assembled in like three consecutive days!!! 

One failed attempt to replicate the intricate italian WW II camo... 

Still, I like the final effect 😉 

My first attempt to highlight the panel lines with a wash... 

I always liked the overall look of MiG-3, though 😉 

 

Attempt at rigging the biplane...if I only used the thinner rubber band here... 

 

Applying these decals was a nightmare - they are stiff and instead of reacting on softening liquids these just ripped... 

But my friends' little sons were absolutely delighted when I gave them this model 🙂 

 

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

 

 

 

 

 

Something different, but the real "shake-and-bake" kit. Can be finished in no time 😉 

 

 

Only three parts (+ missing headlight). 

Full 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...)

C2P - 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 😉 

Not 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...

Of course, decals are mix of aftermarket and kit ones 😉

It 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...)

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

 

 

 

I decided to add "Harriers" to give a sense of scale to both submarines.

Generally 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.
