Thomas Bischoff very nice Gekko! Looks like you have run out of Ju 88

Jens Thanks Thomas The Gekko was curiosity and experiment, Ju 88 sins still many to build, Nachtjäger Although still 2 but Mistl and bomber probably around the 30, so also in 2019 there will be again Dragon and ICM Wet Race in my album

gorbygould Stunning work Jens!

Jens Thank you gorbygould I am pleased that my experiments can convince

Sebastian Meyner @Jens: Ki-46 from Tamiya or A7M2 Reppu from Fine Molds? Oder kuck dir an, was ich an Japanern auf Lager hab und schlag was vor

....or just check my stash for Japaneses and make a suggestion!

Jens Mir wird Schwindelig wenn ich deinen Vorrat anschaue , da ich bei Null beginne , bleiben wir bei der Ki 45, da habe ich doch die Chance bei erträglichen Preisen auch etwas Zubehör zum Modell zu bekommen, und für die japanischen Flugzegtypen sollte es doch zumindest etwas Eduard sein, was die Hersteller da zum Teil in den Kit´s anbieten ist fast schon beleidigend ( und das obwohl fast 100% der Modelle von jap. Herstellern stammen ), das war mir bei der Gekko sehr wichtig, vorallem wollte ich die Sitze gegen Metallteile tauschen , die Löcher in der Sitzschale sind einfach etwas was man auch beim Modell vernünftig erkennen sollte
I get dizzy when I look at your stock, since I start at zero, we stay with the Ki 45, because I have the chance at reasonable prices to get some accessories to the model, and for the Japanese Flugzeugzegtypen it should at least something Eduard Being what the manufacturers offer as part of the kit's is almost insulting (even though almost 100% of the models come from jap. manufacturers), that was very important to me at the Gekko, especially because I wanted the seats against metal parts swap, the holes in the seat are just something you should also recognize the model reasonable

Start der 01.02.2019 , Ende mein Geburtstag im gleichen Jahr 4 Wochen sind wohl genug Zeit

Sebastian Meyner Puh...4 Wochen! Das wird eng, aber ich geb mir Mühe! Also DEAL!

Jens an der Gekko habe ich 10 Tage gebaut , schnelle Modelle wie eine Bf 109 von Eduard werden schon mal in Stunden abgerechnet, eine Hasegawa Bf 109 E mit Verlinden Resin hatte ich in 12 Stunden fertig und vom Tisch , ich habe einen Ruf als Speedbastler , aber Zeit ist Relativ, als GB ohne zwingenden Endtermin, es kann ja auch Arbeit, Familie oder wichtiges dazwischen kommen

Daniel Klink Congrats Jens!! Great work so far and a nice Groupshot Are you in a Flettner phase?

Jens Moin Daniel und Danke Keine Flettnerphase, ich wollte alle 3 in Chemnitz zeigen, mehr hat Mini Art ja leider nicht, aber es könnten noch Mehr werden, allein die Farben sind ein Spass für sich

Moin Daniel and Thanks No Flettnerphase, I wanted to show all 3 in Chemnitz, more Mini art has unfortunately not, but it could be more, but the colors are fun for themselves

Holger Kranich Yeah, Looks awesome alle three together!

Jens der Chinook hatte leider kein Platz mehr, mir ist die Farbe ausgegangen

Holger Kranich Oh welch dräuend Ungemach! Keine Farbe mehr im Haus!

Thomas Bischoff that's a very nice collection!

Daniel Klink Hm on a Hinomaru Base? What if ?

Jens Thanks Thomas for the nice words , I am very pleased that the models can convince so
@ Daniel no "Hinomaru Base" on pictures during the test on the "dragon", the landing area is a wooden structure with just this marker

Martien Lourens Very nice work and collection, Jens.

Jens Hello Martien, thank you such words from you are particularly pleased , your season is also growing again extremely fast

Bart Goesaert nice trio...

Jens Mini Art provides a good base, even if you have a headache

James C Very cool.

Thomas Bischoff absolutely stunning this camo! Very nice work Jens!

Christian Friedenberger Die Lackierung ist der Wahnsinn!

Spanjaard what a beautiful camo!

Clifford Keesler Very nice as always Jens.

Jens Thank you, thank you, thank you James C, Thomas Bischoff,
Christian, Spanjaard, Clifford Keesler, the model was already created in 2013, at that time I had as a template a photo of a prey MiG 3 on a wagon in Russia, described as a plane from Stalingrad, but it was originally from the Baltic Front and was there with the change to Hurican to Stalingrad delivered, at the time the production of the MiG 3 was already stopped, as I said, the model was built in 2013 in the summer and was yesterday with an exhibition near Leipzig

Bart Goesaert That camo looks extremely nice... splendid work, but we know that the AB doesn't have many secrets for you...

Jens Thanks Bart, I'm glad if the MiG you like, I've done with the Revell student and fine nozzle, now I have IWATA and Tamiya, but still the Revell remains a faithful companion

Jens Moin Björn du bist ja echt mal schneller als die Feuerwehr , ich muss mich von Chemnitz erholen, war zwar absolut klasse, aber auch echt anstrengend , soviel laufe ich sonst nicht im ganzen Jahr , wir sehen und hören uns sicher bald beim nächsten Treffen, der Kollege aus Altenburg ist auch immer mehr Ausstellungssüchtig und damit an Sonntagen dann als Taxi gern bereit auch mal weiter zu fahren schönen Wochenstart nach Freiberg

Björn Leichsenring Dankeschön

Gerald Willing sehr schön Jens

Jens Danke Gerald , im Album ist noch mehr dazu

Gerald Willing Schon angeschaut Jens

Germen V As I can remember I once build a CH47 SOA italeri 1/72nd, and I had to cut out the side pontoons and replace them with larger ones, the dmm things almost met up with the wall a few times. A tip find a solution for the rotors to be removable for storage and transportation of the model, or else you'll be re-attaching rotorblades frequently.

Jens Thank you Germen V for the advice, I store the rotors new and of course removable, my place is less and less

James C Nice progress.

Bryn Crandell Looking good so far!

Jens Thanks for the nice words, but there is still a lot of work and sweat, the fit is questionable for a kit from 2006, but Italeri said only, new tool, one has the feeling the forms are still from 1970

Bryn Crandell WOW! the gap on the windscreen was horrible. What did you do to close up the gaps?

Jens Hello Bryn Crandell, yes it was really frightening, first one side of the straight piece with Revell glue dry, but it pressure from the front on everything, from the solid piece then each strut piece by piece and always the good old Revell glue, he holds better and more stable than the Tamiya, but without gap it does not work, from below it needs about 1.5 mm filling

Germen V nice progress

Jens The Mini Art Hummingbird needs a lot of weight to not a tail owner
to be, I have used the lead from the fishing shop, a pack as seen in the picture and rolled in the cockpit, glued under the engine as a strip, the V25 (finished in the pictures) I have poured the seat of lead and the tanks filled with lead, that's just barely enough!

Jens Flettner 282 V6 mini art scale 1:35 OOB

Done, and also an experience more.
It was the first attempt of mini art to create an aircraft, since I had number 2 but first, of course I started a bit more stormy ...., better you stick to the specifications in the blueprint

Alec K Looks great Jens

Es-haq Khosravi Great!

Spanjaard very nice!

Jens Thank you mates for the nice words, I am pleased if my implementation of color and technology can convince

Eelco Gregoire Great looking birds Jens! I've just ordered the latest version of this kit. Looking forward to built it.

Jens Hello Eelco Gregoire and thanks for the nice words I have also ordered the new version, in addition to the Eduard set of Ärtzteile, and 1 kg of lead in the fishing shop.
The kit is really a joy on the table, I miss the small mistakes then quite happy

Eelco Gregoire "1kg of lead" Hahahaha

Jens Eelco Gregoire in the EU should have a stock of lead, according to the new regulations, it can no longer be traded, as lead wire and lead foil collect better in the camp

Christian Lehmann Hatte auch schon mal drüber nachgedachtvmir diesen Bausatz zuzulegen. Hab es aber wieder verworfen. Muß erst Bestände abbauen und Platz schaffen.

Jens Ich war überrascht, ich hatte wegen dem BiG Ed Satz mit 3 Wochen Bauzeit gerechnet aber das passte alles so gut das ich schon nach 9 Tagen das finish hatte

Christian Lehmann Na, so schnell bin ich nicht. Das würde sich bei mir bestimmt mehrere Monate hinziehen, außer wenn ich im Urlaub baue.

Jens Ich bin Rentner und habe keine Verpflichtungen, das bedeutet für mich jeden Tag sehr viel Zeit an der Werkbank, zudem, Deine Modelle sind absolute Oberliga, da kann ich meine nur in die letzte Reihe stellen, also wäre das auch kein wirklicher Vergleich, aber bei 9 mal 8 Stunden sind es auch um die 72 Stunden was die Walrus bekommen hat

Wim van der Luijt Very nice Jens!

Jens Thanks Wim long nothing more heard of you, but also understandable, family has priority

Mike Daniels Great job Jens. I have this kit in my stash. I think you are the first on SM to build it so thanks for leading the way. Did you use Eduard PE kit ? That cockpit detail is very tasty. I like the folded up wings. Looks rather fiddly. Nice one mate!!

Jens Thanks Mike I have installed the BiG set by Eduard, which delivers everything you need, just the roof is open is a problem, because you should really change the shape at Airfix Picture 3 shows the BiG set packed, and the pictures of the construction show the brass in the square

Michael Hickey Very nicely done Walrus, Jens.

Choppa Nutta Very nice

Jens Thanks Michael Hickey and Choppa Nutta, the build stages are in the album, was a real treat, even if the whole etching parts disappear inside Starterset

Alec K Very well done

Jens 2 days work almost without sleep Mini Art has brought something special to the shelves

Bart Goesaert Looking good, is the Eduard set a must, or just nice to have. Doesn't look like it adds a lot extra...

David Funke Watching!

Jens Welcome David and Bart

@ Bart, I have for the V 21 only the zoom set, straps and indicators, in the large set would be still flaps and parts for the engine to find. The belts have a different version in the set, which was not available at the time for the Germans, so for the belts then Eduard, in the ads you can also use the decals, clean and well printed, a little Gunze GX 100 as glass on the clocks, that should be enough

Choppa Nutta Cool !

Jens Thanks Choppa Nutta, is something else, a real flying cage

Choppa Nutta Yeah I really like this tiny heli
and the way you've made it too ! nice work Jens

JOHN THOMAS Very cool

Alec K Very nice work Jens. Saving this album as a reference for my 1:72 scale Huma build

Jens Thanks for the friendly words @ Alec which honor, one of my models for reference I am very happy if the model can convince

Jan Peters Very cool subject, looks great.

Jens Hello Jan Peters, yes an interesting story, I'm waiting for the Mini Art also the Russian booty Flettner realized, and of course the sequel developments, the quality is really very good, which of course means that the other two are already on the way to me : -)
