Scale Aircraft Modelling

Michel Huijghe
So you're the guy? Stunning aircraft. Love the Kazak SU-27.

Sebastijan Videc
The one and only 🙂 I accidently stumbled upon scale mates last night when searching some info on my next project and decided to give it a go

Michel Huijghe
Welcome. Which next project if I may ask?

Sebastijan Videc
Modelsvit Su-7BM

Michel Huijghe
In 1/72nd scale. It seems nowadays difficult to find I hear. But I only build in 1/48th scale with an exception of my Mi-24 from Hobby Boss.

Holger Kranich
Welcome Sebastijan!
Exquisit models! Very nice paintjobs! I can imagine you will feel quite comfortable here on scalemates!;)

Sebastijan Videc
Michel, I wasn't aware it is hard to get - got it for magazine build review 2 weeks ago or so. Well I am building 1:72 since my childhood and it's the optimum scale as I have limited display space. I built a few 1:48 kits as well in the past and I have one big one on hold at the moment due to its complexity.

Holger thanks! I certainly hope so!

Günther Debiscop
Great builds. Shame about the restrictions a magazine can put into its policy regarding pic's of your own builds.

Markus
As a Flanker-addict I can only say 👍. The MiG-21's are very nice, especially considering how tiny they are. Really great!

Steve Wilson

Sebastijan Videc
Thanks mates!

Jose Miguel Rodriguez
Beautiful!!!!!!!!!

Ed wilkinson
I'm assuming the SU-27 is in Kazhak markings?

Sebastijan Videc
That's right, Ed.

Ed wilkinson
Seb, how did you cope with the colour mix for it?

Michel Huijghe
@Ed
You've got Gunze colors for it. Just check the PDF file at the Eduard website or AKAN paints.

Ed wilkinson
tried to find it..... zip.......

Sebastijan Videc
I've eyeballed them - lower camouflage ModelMaster Light Blue, upper: Model Master camouflage gray, French Blue, Revell 50 (I think KLM blue or something like this)

Michel Huijghe
Here you go. Just go to the page and on the right side you'll find the PDF sheet from the SU-27UB. At the bottom you'll find the colors.

Superb builds, all of them.

Ed wilkinson
Cheers Michel!

Dirk Heyer
Amazing models!
I like them all!
Seems that the SAM magazine is of higher quality than thought.
Will have a look on them!

Sebastijan Videc
Thanks again guys. Dirk, SAM got a a very bad press from certain modellers when the graphical change happened with the change of editorship. However, if the change wouldn't happen, the magazine would most certainly cease to exist. The fact however is, that in just a few years time, SAM got from 5th to top selling aviation scale modelling magazine and is the only one that doesn't have the sales drop (I have a view into the sales statistics). I will let you know when the article is published.

Steve Wilson
I've never forgiven SAM for dumping "Scale Auto Modeller", even if they'd bring it back I'd never forgive them...😠😠😠

Sebastijan Videc
well that's the problem of the publisher 😉

Steve Wilson
No it was the editor after Richard A Franks...

Dirk Heyer
Thx for answer, Sebastijan.
To contribute a magazine called "Scale Aviation" would be a great affair!
But sadly there is no such an "Aviation" magazine in Germany nor in german language available!
We have only mixed magazines! :/
Wish I could contribute a scale aviation magazine like this one! The level of modellers/authors seems to be very high!?
Greetz Dirk

Steve Wilson
@Dirk... You can Dirk just write a Review or WIP include some top notch photo's and send it to the magazine, as a sample of your work. If they like it they will contact you...

Pierre-Christian Baudru
Great builds !

Aris Grey

Tim Vereecke
