Oleg Bogolei Nice progress for the not easy model

Christian Lehmann Thanks Stephan.

Christian Lehmann Thanks Oleg. You´re Right! The unassembled kit looks very nice in the box but the build is really a challenge.

Andy Ball you're building a classic here, lovely super detailing and a great subject too!

Cuajete I need to know the finish. Well done so far.

Christian Lehmann Thank you mates.

Bart Goesaert bit of a bummer with the decals, but will turn ok. Nice camouflage by the way...

Christian Lehmann @ Bart: The decal issue is fixed meanwhile but I have not taken a Foto yet. I also like the comouflage. I have an Eduard 1:48 scale mig 21 in my stash that will get the same camo.

Stefan Suessemilch Great job Jorge, very clean builts and fantastic paintjob!

Guy Rump Really nice collection

dino33 thanks

Mark Nice 104!

Urban Gardini Lovely builds mate!

Holger Kranich Cool collection! The 104 is nicely shaded!

Hanno Kleinecke Beautiful ships and excellent water effect !

Thomas Bischoff I completely agree with Hanno!

Christian Lehmann Beatiful models and presentations.

CHRIS HEWITT Thanks

Holger Kranich Some mighty fine Vessels you made there!

Burkhard D Awesome! More so as for a while I failed to grasp that I am looking at 1/700

Lex Jassies Compliments and more compliments for the litlle gems!

Christian Bruer Very nice collection and excellent work Would be fine to see more work from your ship modeling yard here on Scalemates

Juergen Klinglhuber Will add the pic of the finished version after the Model-Show in Ried Oct. 18th (2019 !). Had to wait to proceed with that kit for the last 8 years, so what about 2 more weeks ??

Alan Rush Nice collection. You mentioned service in the Navy and I detect a certain bias toward naval aviation. Nice tip of the hat to the Canadian Armed Forces with the Hawk you have finished.

Gareth Windsor Thanks Alan. Yes, I have quite the collection of Fleet Air Arm models waiting for my attention. I'm 23 years in the Royal Navy and still going. As for the Canadian connection, the wife is from Toronto.

Alan Rush OK. I live in Courtice, just east of Toronto, next to Oshawa. I worked for a time in Scarborough as well. I grew up in Windsor, Ontario and after a few other places have settled here with my family.
I am collecting some kits to mark as Canadian vehicles, especially for the Ontario Regiment, which is based in Oshawa. I volunteer at the Regiment museum and wanted to finish some kits for their time in Italy in WWII.

John E Great stuff, Gareth! I like the pic of the Swordfish on the Merlin. hehe

Kerry COX What a pleasant surprise to find when logging back in after a few days away.
An awesome collection of aircraft Gareth.

Especially the Swordfish. !
But where did you get that launch controller from. ???

Spanjaard great collection!, yes, the pilot is giving all his attention to the controller, no doubt

Dave Flitton Nice collection

Guy Rump Really nice collection Gareth, I notice we served on some of the same Ops, mine were on land though!

Holger Kranich Really really nice Gareth!

Stephan Ryll Very nice Rhino

Bart Goesaert That F15? Jawdropping .. following such a build in 1/48 too, a hind, all scratchbuilt in that one....

Nice work on this one...

Kerry COX Bart, thank you my friend.

Slavo Hazucha Where was this thread hiding? Excellent stealth attributes, went totally under my radar...

Well, when Mr. Cox goes super-detail, it truly is a big show. Some memorably cool stuff throughout the process, tip & results both.

Pic 49 - I actually also really like the parafilm-wrapped pipe - as it stands it would make an excellent surface effect on i.e. Russian LG piping, I´ll keep that in mind

All the details & PE look great, the ladder assembly & the engine nozzle being my particularly favorite striking highlights...

It looks like a decent kit in all aspects too - one thing though, maybe it´s the light & shadow play, but the raised details on the nose below & in front of the canopy (especially pic 104 & 107 a bit too) appear to be just a little bit over-pronounced... I just saw an F-35 (not a B though) and it definitely was not that "bumpy" around there... maybe a very gentle sanding to calm things down a bit?

Kerry COX Slavo. Thank you most kindly for your welcome comments and praise.
I am most honoured to have you comment in such a favorable way.
There is a set of PE provided in kit, but I didn't know that until after I had bought the PE I thought I was needing, but the kit PE is not all that well detailed, but good for what it offers to those who are willing to be adventurous with the provided set.
There are some fit issues, especially on the intake area, but with your skills, it will not be much of a challenge.
I have a habit of starting kits as soon as I open the box and if things crop up that make the smooth build grind to a halt, I box it and go away to come back later after I have seen what others on line have encountered.
Kitty Hawk being rather new on the block, I am expecting some improvements to the dies, as they did with the 'Viper'.

Bryn Crandell How did I miss this one? Kerry keeping it under the radar just a little bit. Looks awesome so far.

Kerry COX Bryn, this was started so long ago, I had almost forgotten I had posted the progress, but now the build pace has slowed down some what, I will have more time and inclination to keep going with it. !

Lode Schildermans we're looking forward to see more, Yoda

Kerry COX Lode, I am too mate. hahahahaha
Now I have the 1 and 2 mm masking tape, I will attempt to attack all those raised areas. :-O

Markus Kutsch The Plastic Bench Looks very great...great weathering.

Igor Zdorovyak Very good job

Christian Ristits One extraordinary build, congrats!

Dieter Bihlmaier Wow...this is great!

Arash Zakeri i love it great job

Clifford Keesler Awesome build. I too love it.

Glenn . WOW!

Lego Just spotted this. Bravo. Great result.

Bryn Crandell Nice work!

Bill Newcomer The detail painting is excellent! Both the shading and "staying within the lines"

Tim Sloan thanks guys

Nathan Dempsey Well done! Looks like nose art that's come to life.

Norbert Steffens Grat paint job.
Do you use acrylic or oil?

Tim Sloan thankyou, used acrylic, Andrea and Vallejo

Tom Ballhoff Sweet Lady. Great paintjob

Tim Sloan thankyou

Holger Kranich Sehr schön Christian! Hab ich gestern schon auf MV gesehen. Macht lust auf mehr!

Stefan Schacht Hallo Christian, well done . Cheers Stefan

Christian Meyerhoff Danke Euch! Hat Spaß gemacht!

Vittorio Gentili Very nice!

Christian Meyerhoff Thx!

Joerg R. Durfte es ja schon teilweise "live" sehen, macht was her der Lüdde :-D

Bart Meeldijk Haha, this one is much, much better! Still trying to figure out your 'shading' technique. Really looks great with all these subtle hi-lights!

Xander Jansen very nice job!!!

Patrick Hagelstein Really impressive!!!

Daniel Klink Perfect job Ronan! Nothing else to say

Konrad Limmer Very nice Ronan! Like it mate !

Ronan many thanks, mates

Ronan @Bart Meeldijk : i need to make room in my showcase, do you think it's possible to offer my cougar model to the dutch cougar squadron ?
You could ask cougar pilots if they are interested ?

Patrick Hagelstein 300 Sqn would love that kit in their cabinet. I'll shoot you a PM later on.

M.Julian Marles thanks for the pics!

Holger Kranich Cool museum and (for me) some seldomly seen pix!

Joerg R. It seems, they have some of the Ex-Auburn exhibits, thx for sharing

Gareth Windsor Some of the tanks/verhicles; like the Cheiftan, are privately owned. Most of the armour is theirs though. They have a working Jagdpanzer turning up soon.

Stephan Ryll Very nice dio indeed

James C That's an incredible amount of detailing for such a small scale. Very impressive work!

Dave Flitton Nice!!

Alec K Fantastic work

Stuart Fowle That is an impressive diorama, especially as it is in 1/144.

Daniel Klink Totally agree with JAmes and Stuart

Bart Goesaert I concur with the others. beautiful work, especially in this tiny scale. How did you deal with the positions where the parts with the corrugated surface meet?

Jens WOW

Ian Doody Thanks he looks even better now. Taking my time.

Choppa Nutta this is one to follow !!

Alistair Graham Fantastic

Stephan Ryll wonderful one

Cuajete Fantastic job, Bernhard. Congrats!

Andy Ball Astounding!- the detail and complexity of you rigging that kite in 72nd....baffling

Alec K One can only aspire to build this good... Fantastic work

Gareth Windsor A beautiful build Bernhard.

Guy Rump Gorgeous build and superb rigging

Paul Moore Great subject.

Vladimir Kafka moc žlutý

Bernhard Schrock Wow! Stunning what you did with this kit. I love the spoiler and flaps!!!!

Gordon Sørensen Fantastic finish, and a nice little diorama!

Zbynek Honzik Beautiful Lunak, Petr!

Zsolt Czegle Great work!

Joerg R. Stimmt, schön geworden

Augie How I miss that? superb work Christian.

Kerry COX Thank you Antonio, Duri and Pierre for your kind words.
The image of this model was used in the advertisements by Zoukie-mura to promote the wood grain decals I used that are now being made by Uschi van der Rosten for them.
It is the best model I have ever made.

Clifford Keesler Fantastic as always mate.

Kerry COX I keep getting asked what sort of stencil I used for the wood effect, so I just had to post the pro mo pic. :-/

Spanjaard really great job. amazing wood effect indeed.

Kerry COX Spanjaard, Thank you for your kind words.
This is the model that got me back to normal. LOL

Roberto Rocat Wow, surely not a shake & bake kit! Great progress.

Kerry COX I just thought I would add some imaged of my pilot. I hope you saw him. ?

P J Glad this popped up on my feed today; a social media post said something about the V3 being restored/rebuilt in America and inspired me to read more about the Ho-229. Was going to come looking for your amazing build album Kerry, one of my favourites on this board!

Treehugger Blocking out the sun..

Jean-Michel Tilquin So true...

Florian H.

Jos Jansen ...!!

Chris Greathouse Hahahahaha!!! Thanks for the laugh!

Julian Herrero aka Yuri LOL ,,,, Thanks

Augie Hey, us girls are as bad!

Clifford Keesler And I thought mine was bad. NAH!!!. LOL.

Jens ich habe Revell Deutschland kontaktiert, aber frage mich nicht nach Namen ..., mein english ist leider auch nur auf Google Translate begrenzt, sonst würde ich es wohl versuchen, oder Vacu, aber da ist Eigeninitiative gefragt, für Devastator & Co. bekommt man das, für die Helldiver leider nicht, dabei war der Kit ja schon bei erscheinen ein echtes Leckerchen..., im Moment ruht aber alles bei mir, ich hab mal echt keine Eile und die Helldiver bekommt sicher noch das Finish, mit Glück kann ich ca. März 2018 wieder loslegen, bis dahin bestimmen die Ärzte über mein dasein ......

Bernd Müller Kommt Zeit, kommt Rat. Auf jeden Fall gute Besserung

Thomas Bischoff War die letzten drei Wochen in den Ferien - ich wünsch dir auch gute Besserung!
Deine Helldiver sieht ja sehr gut aus - der Fahrwerkschacht ist super mit den Ätzteilen! Die Auspuffstutzen sind auch von Eduard?

Jens Hallo Thomas und Danke ja die Auspuffe sind Eduard , bei den Fahrwerkschächsten gibt es auch Resin, Quick Boost oder Aires, ist wohl etwas einfach zu Händeln als die Eduard Falt Klemm/Kleborgie

Thomas Bischoff New pictures? Finally finished? She looks great Jens! .. but there should be also a Yagi Antenna under the right wing ...

Jens Hello Thomas, of course, the antennas must still drann, I'll use etched parts, but nothing is done, I had the model only freed of dust, the pulpit can finally make new and the week before the exhibition in Arnstadt / Tühringen I wanted nothing new start, the Helldiver was really something to distract, and it was probably time to update this version again

Peter Knaul Sehr cool! Wie ist das Wolfpack Set zu verarbeiten?

Jens Hallo Peter , die Resinteile passen sehr gut, schau bei Thomas Bischoff mal in den BB, er hat die Faltflügel noch etwas verbessert, aber es passt

Nathan Dempsey Can't wait to see the build Slavo.

Another good thing Kerry's images show is the exhausts when parked. Note how one is open and one is closed much like on the F-14.

Martin o hello, I can no longer see the contents of this album. did that happen just for me or is it gone for the others as well? It vanished just as I was using it to build my TF30s.. guess i should have saved those pics huh

Augie Kezz whats happened bud?

Kerry COX There were many of my images used by some one out in the web land who claimed them as his own so I challenged them on copyright and told them to give me the credit for the images., and I deleted the images until I heard from him that he would honour my request.

Augie Ahhh

Martin o oh thank god and godspeed!

Slavo Hazucha Oh man... Good you sorted that, having the the Wrangler images is really great & particularly useful for my G-version build... Which I'll gladly state in the description once it gets done!

Kerry COX That was a great result in being granted permission to 'shoot' the Bone bandit for scale modellers, Being the ONLY, (up to that point in time) film crew to be able to actually walk the wing upper surface and crawl right into both the wheel wells and bomb bay. I will post the correspondence dealing with the shoot for you.

Alec K Great dioramas! Nice work

Gaius Baltar Thanks Mate!

Clifford Keesler Very nice work.

Gaius Baltar Thanks Mate!

Thomas Kirschbaum very impressive!

Gaius Baltar Thank you!

Spanjaard i really like the Roswell one

Tim Heimer Interesting, nice work.

Gaius Baltar From picture 1 to 4
This is from an old Tamiya kit, 1/35, Tamiya and Lifecolor paint.

Gaius Baltar From picture 5 to 8
Tamiya kit, some young dinosaurs escape from fire and finally find some water to refresh themselves.

Gaius Baltar From picture 9 to 14
Tamiya kit for a diorama with adult and cub of Chasmosaurus, crossing a desertified river and meeting a tortoise.

Gaius Baltar From picture 15 to 18
Very vintage kit from Pyco, Anchylosaurus, it needed lot of Tamiya putty and glue to fix together!

Davide Rassati Great, nice dinosaur!

wilky Not something you see every day

Guy Rump really interesting build and very well done, I remember building a model brontosaurus at school in 1970!!

Nathan Dempsey Nice builds!

Gaius Baltar Thanks mates!

Christian Meyerhoff Looks good, but some more Pictures please!

Slavo Hazucha wow Alexander, another beauty. You seem to have a corner in your heart for old&damaged aircraft, I like that The work on the wing is superb, the balance of the heavy weathering overal just admirable... You know your trade sir! MiG-21's are just such great objects to torture...

Nathan Dempsey That's some truly lovely weathering.

Augie sUPERB!

Alec K This is, well, WOW. I echo Slavo's words. Superb work

Maciej Bellos Beautifully weathered 21. I love it!

Holger Kranich Dude! That is so good!Splendid, Alex, just splendid!

Alexander Perov Thank you to everyone I apologize to the permanent and old members of the site because I have already exhibited this work here.and did not expect that it will be so interesting

Alec K I for one am glad that Slavo "kicked" this album to the top of the newsfeed, as I never saw it. And I suspect that your work will be par excellence for many years to come

James C It was this build that convinced me to get the Hobby Boss 1/48 F-111 kit

Kerry COX I am pleased I did a fair job with it otherwise no one would have considered the Hobby Boss kit at all.

Augie I love the hobby boss kit, Just not got to building yet.

Kerry COX Augie, you will be blown away when you see the most finite detail that all their kits come with, especially the rivets and surface details.
Have you bought any yet or have your eye on one. ? let me know.

Slavo Hazucha Thanks for bringing this to my attention Kerry! The HB kit surely looks decent enough, details, lines & rivets a joy to work with... But it is the builder who has to show on no uncertain terms where the journey will go and you handled that business with flying colors! Will surely come back to you when I get to start building mine.

Augie hey kezza, I have two and looking at another lol

Clifford Keesler I will get one someday when I'm rich. LOL. Meanwhile I will keep grinding out the Acadmey monsters. Have 2 FB-111A's. I am going to do one in the "Dark Vark" scheme and the other in SEA camo.

Kerry COX The secret to the SEA cammo is blue tack putty. So good for compound curves.

Rob van Dodewaard Thanks mates

Kerry COX Most impressive. The way you have bought out all the surface detail is amazing. Well done Rob.

Eugen P. Impressive work
"@Stephan Ryll...I can remember this birds running around by ground level back in the 70 th"
Me too.

Jos Jansen I've just had a look at your projects Rob, this Buccaneer really has the wow factor for me ... definitely a masterpiece!

Kees Kleijwegt Great Buccaneer mate!

Augie Ahh very nice!

David Taylor well done Rob got one in my stash,Will get around to it eventually.

Rob van Dodewaard Thanks mates????

Dominik Weitzer O'lala...das sieht gut aus!

Christian W Sah gut aus :/ Das war vor dem Wasserschaden. Viel besser.

Anthony D'Agostino When you told me that you were a car guy, you weren't kidding! WOW, THAT IS A LOT OF CARS! Awesome man-cave as well, I only wish I could have that setup sometime in the near future. Cheers mate, Anthony

Christian W Thank you Anthony!
I have to take current Pictures. It's not that clean anymore. It is rearanged because of an water issue some yoears ago and I "outsourced" a place for Building. This room I use for painting only and maybe really heavy stuff.

Bill Newcomer Wow! You have a significant stash AND a good amount of space. However, I think you to consult with a better interior decorator. LOL

Christian W . It's a mess downstairs. I have to change this somehow sometimes. In the near future.

Anthony D'Agostino Haven't we all said those words before, everything we are going to do, is always in the future. The trick is, keeping it in the future so you can enjoy the present!

Christian W Well said !

Kerry COX Any time for my friends Komoras.

Christian W This is great! I'll Keep it in mind. Got that stuff from a freind but never used it.

Derek Huggett Finally succumbed myself Kerry - easy to find on evilBay among all the other surgical supplies. Saw some rubber tubing also advertised, which bought back all the old nightmares....AAARRGGHH, Nurse...Not the rubber tubing again...pleeeze!!!

Kerry COX To think that Parrafilm started off being used in the horticultural business, being a wrapper for cuttings when spliced into other plants. ! Then pathology grabbed it for use in labs to seal glass tubes and the like, but now, more modellers use it than any one else. !!!! FACT.

Derek Huggett Likewise, a certain floor shine liquid that is now 'the modellers friend' (Klear)! What an inventive/innovative bunch we are!

Spanjaard Well, we gad yo do wit what was at hand, Boeing that floor polish, foid wrapping, electrical cables.....

Christian W The modellers are quite good inventors Or are they just practical? Creative. They are creative.

Kerry COX All of the above me thinks. Adaptation of so many things that really had no basis in modelling, like the simple little piece of plastic that goes on the bread wrapper/bag. ! How many times has that humble little square helped me out of a jam.

Nathan Dempsey Base coated this Panzer grey with an airbrush, the rest was done by hand using Citadel colors.

Choppa Nutta Ugly plane but a really cool sci fi model, I like it !
And nicely done too, would look great on the gaming table, even if it did fill it up

Nathan Dempsey Yep she's a beast. I'll have to admit, it was one of my more satisfying builds.

Exciting fact about this kit: It was in a car wreck with me while I was returning from a contest years ago. Both me and this kit were untouched, but the car and all the other kits I was carrying were smashed beyond repair. I guess you could say this kit is a good luck charm!

Choppa Nutta Looks a bit of chunky good luck charm to me, imagine attaching that to a good luck charm bracelet etc.

Nathan Dempsey Bruises would happen for sure...

Stanley Carrier i love this, reminds of a halo pelican with more world war 2 feel

Stanley Carrier is this a kit you can get?

Nathan Dempsey Sure can. Go to: forgeworld.co.uk

Look under the sections marked Warhammer 40,000 then Imperial Navy. There's several really cool sci-fi aircraft there. I'lll post some pictures later of some of the alien aircraft I have as well.

Stanley Carrier i need to stay off that site, my wallet is going to kill me

Nathan Dempsey I hear ya! that place is a wallet's black hole.

Cuajete Me 2!

Augie Who'll give me odds on another spitfire or Me-109 lol

Juan M Leria Last time they did something like this was 30 years ago, F-19 Stealth

Murad ÖZER Youtube Video

Maverick212 Soon to be available in 1:35 also!

Top Secret (Unknown 6569, 1:35)

Juan M Leria @Maverick212 Not the same, 14xx is aircraft range, 65xx is AFV range

Milo Please be an AMX A-11 Ghibli!

Guido Haesevoets nice Z1! mine still waiting to be build one day!

Christian W Thank you

Bartłomiej Ślusarczyk Beautifull! I love the way You presented the helicopter on diorama. Whole scene looks like real. Congratulations

Choppa Nutta This is my favorite photo of the bunch

[img1]

Łukasz Gliński Very well done, especially in so rare markings

Christian Ristits What an exotic Heli...you did a very great job on it!!!

Chris Greathouse Great helicopter!!

ForestFan Superb!

Stephan Ryll Very nice dio Great build you did a very good Job here

Bart Goesaert seem to have missed this one long ago, but this one is also a real stunner...

Richmond Why do so many modellers have multiple copies of the same kit in their stashes?

Augie so we can build different schemes,, cause we're indecisive and cant choose one lol

Choppa Nutta haha Augie very true !!
but also a second chance at building it but with less mistakes (hopefully)

Augie Hehe well yes thats true too

Richmond Thanks

Gordon Sørensen Different Schemes, Different Version, or maybe we just like that airplane! I have a couple models in my display cabinet I finished in the early late 70 or early 80s. Would like to try again just to see what I could do now...

Clifford Keesler I have a Academy FB-111 that was my first build, after returning to the hobby. To look at it now it looks terrible, so it will be getting tore down and given a majior face lift, with what I have learned here on scalemates over the last four years.

Bryn Crandell Nice collection of both unbuilt and built Gordon. The polish holders are a good idea. May have to invest in a pair.

Eend Aha, pics from Australia!

Hauke Krapf The world turned upside down!

Greetz

Hauke

David Winter Looks like you're having a bit of an issue with your gravity plating or maybe your inertial dampeners

Gordon Sørensen Or, if you hold your iPhone the wrong way, the pictures show upside down...

Gordon Sørensen Finally got the pictures the right way around...
Waiting for maintenance to finish up some items. I always carry some models with me, gives me something to do on layovers....

Holger Kranich Building a plane in a plane, that is pure decadence!

Philip De Keyser How beautifull can life been!

Gordon Sørensen Moved into a new house near Montreal. Have a corner in the basement for my models. Now just have to get my stash from Saskatoon to here....

Treehugger Ah photo 4 reminds of some fun Belgian/French comics.

Rui S Really Nice sign. I Will print it for the man cave door

Treehugger What a fun idea. A comedy album for scale model kits. Assuming ofc, there is original stuff.

playtime 222 Oh that's soo good

Christian W This is nice! What rims are that? They looking very good on the woody! I lilke the Color. Looks really fresh to the Wood.

Chris Greathouse That is so rad!!! Love it all!

James C Very nice Tim

Tim Heimer Christian, it's been so long I don't recall, sorry.

Neuling Very nice car!

Tim Heimer Thank you guys, much appreciated! Hardly anyone has seen it in 4 yrs.

Ben STONE Stunning

Steve Desarzens Great !!!

Gary Beautiful !!!! Gary

scalemates excellent! (please assign it to a project, so it becomes visible on the page of the kit you used)

Ricardo Gonzalez Ramos Really nice Work.

Michel Huijghe Perfect

Urs Harter Thank you all for your comments

Chris Greathouse Incredible! Love it!

Neuling Top build and presentation! That blue is gorgeous.

Nigel While not getting bent out of shape, I agree that the database should be restricted to (announcements of) definite articles.

Derek Huggett I'll second Augie's thought. I would add though there are items that have been entered in the database which have never seen the light of day!

Nigel And like any 'distributed input' database, SCM has some 'inconsistencies', if not straight-out 'issues'.

But, if there's an easy option to cull some of the crud before i even gets to be an issue?

Matthew A @Huggett that's what I like about ScaleMates it's a great archive

Nigel It's a great archive of identifiable things.

But what's the value of things that cannot be identified?

When they become identifiable, that's the time to add them.

Derek Huggett Hey! Scalemates existentialism!!!!

Matthew A I've spent years tracking down what happened to the unfinished FROG kits, so I have to disagree

Gluefinger >> Scalemates existentialism!
No, just a bit of good old-fashioned ontology.

Roger Mukka

Gavin -thats a secret- I love a good secret lol

Holger Kranich Absolutely!

Patrick Hagelstein Yep, my jealousy form is now officially accepted.... Great pictures Holger!

Maciej Bellos There are still some of them phlying here in Greece. There are two occasions where you can see them in action, Iniohos International exercise held each April and Athens Flying week held in September.

Bryn Crandell Phantoms are bad ass. Loud that is for sure.

Stephan Ryll Oh yes the good old NATO diesel no Softwareupdate required

Holger Kranich I always enjoyed when they zipped over, coming from Wittmundhaven. J79, louder than my girlfriend...

Patrick Hagelstein Is that positive or negative?

Clifford Keesler There is no better sound in the jet world than the "Howl" of the old J-79,be it in a F-104, F-4, or B-58, yes some of us old enough to remember the B-58. LOL.

Germen V nice work

Kerber Nice work and fine result! Bravo!

Clifford Keesler Excellent job Martien. I like it a lot.

Stephan Ryll Wonderful build and paintjob

Spanjaard excellent fulcrums, fantastic.

Kerry COX Martien, You certainly have a gift for bringing out the recessed lines and overall 'used' look, and with the hard stand it is presented on, it's hard to tell fact from fiction.
Great work mate, as with all you builds.

Łukasz Gliński Nice one, what colours did you use?

Rui Reis Beautiful work on all of them!

Christian W Pretty!

Christian W This s cool. Like it!

Bart Goesaert darn,
Youtube Video

Holger Kranich

Matthias Weiss Hehe... Grumpy Cat is in scale modelling now... Don't you hate that??
Nice stash but so many doubles and quadruples...

Jeremy Wiltcher And that is less than half of them, I'm lucky I got that many out in the open.

Matthias Weiss Lucky man you are indeed. I'm going into airplanes now as well so I changed my wishlist a bit but so far no modern jets in there I'm afraid I'll screw them up...

Jeremy Wiltcher I have a lot of models I'm afraid to build out of fear I'll screw them up or that I won't do them justice.

Michael Hickey Nice set up Jeremy, I need to post an album of my new man cave when it's finished being set up. Matthias & Jeremy you shouldn't stop yourself from building a kit because of fear, you should face it head on as a new challenge. We can't improve our skills if we don't challenge ourselves every once in a while.

Jeremy Wiltcher Thanks Michael, I appreciate it. I am happy with the re-model (pun intended) of the room so far.

Alex-Ovidiu Mihailescu Philippe, story goes somehow the same . Everything starts with a question like : When do you build a plane?
Then it goes like this : two days after I start a build comes the following question: is it not ready yet? After a couple of days: your tools and stuff are all over the place , if someone comes in our house they trip over because of your stuff . So I have to work on the kitchen table or on the living room table and than , at the end of the day pack things up and store them until next time. As for the kits they are stuffed on top of the closets and wherever there's a tiny place . So I think Sören is one of the lucky ones.

coporado Very nice place to be Sören

Rob Yes, Alex, I had that until we built own own place, too. I now have my own modelling room to hide in and I never have to pack anthing up if I don't want to!

Soeren . Thx a lot Sascha

Alexander G. I like workplaces and yours seems to be very cozy and well organized Even with a scalemates logo!

Miro Herold Why looks it so clean? I would'n show you my dirty workplace because my shameles

Soeren . Thx Alxeander

@ Miro
It always looks like that

Andreas Koziol Unser aller Lieblingsplatz!

Maciej Bellos Since this one is a rebox of the old italeri kit I will be following. Does it have raises or recessed lines? It needs quite some work due to some fitting issues.

Roger Frei Habe begonnen, aber das fitting ist so schlecht, das ich den Bausatz wieder zur Seite gelegt habe.
Ich schaue mir den Bausatzt jetzt nochmals an und entscheide ob ich ihn bau oder ob ich einfach einige Teile für Tests behalte

Roger Frei Aktuell am Decals anbringen
Muss es nochmals genau betrachten, glaube der Glanzlack ist da wieder zu trocken geworden, ev. werfe ich es weg.

Cristian Bordina Great job Alexander, I agree with all the mates, waves are wonderful, but the idea to represent the sea floor is fantastic. The weathering of the sunk Zero is really appropriate. So, in my opinion, you made a masterpiece

Alexander Perov Thanks for the feedback .maybe some moment to learn from my work

EnsignExpendabl Wow, amazing!

Patrick Hagelstein So, is this the same setup as with coporado? Is this also a display case with the waves as a roof panel? If so, how did you let all the animals float around?

Alexander Perov The Waves are made of transparent sealant on transparent plastic. And animals in different ways that on a thin wire others on a transparent piece of thin plastic

Patrick Hagelstein Thanks for the explanation! I am pondering on a diorama with a semi submerged Sherman tank near the coast line of Saipan and I wanted to have some fish and a diver figure swimming around it. I now think I have an idea to go ahead.

Patrick Hagelstein Check! picture 9 shows the wire for the shark.

Spanjaard now idea how i missed this one before, but it is certainly a great job!!

Choppa Nutta very nice

Gary Very nice of an unusual plane. Gary

antonio coral great job, very nice plane! greetings from Colombia

Bernhard Schrock Thank you mates. I'm glad that you like them.

Daniel Klink Mindblowing built fantastic

soheil moghisi Thanks saeed.

babak chalangi awesome

Joe Gaudon Well set!

Es-haq Khosravi I wonder if any body has used products from this company here too?

Ekki I will shorly.

Es-haq Khosravi Good to hear that!

Dennis Mathes I've used their 1/72 Bf-110 decals.
I was also impressed until I tried to apply the small stencil markings like "Do not push". They literally wrinkled up and stuck to themselves when I slid them from the backing paper. I guess the step between paper and model surface was too large. I was able to unstick them by placing them into the water again and having lots of patience. They also don't like being pushed into position. They have to be pulled insead.

Es-haq Khosravi Thanks for sharing your experience Dennis. It seems that's because they are very thin and soft. That's a weakness and at the same time the strength point of them!

Dennis Mathes Yes, exactly. They have to be treated in a different way because they are so thin. But as with anything new, it simply takes practice to get a good result. I would buy them again.

Es-haq Khosravi I agree!

Andrea Brenco very interesting, thanks for sharing

Es-haq Khosravi @ Andrea Brenco: Your welcome!

Roberto Rocat Super! ...and nice display, too

Thomas Bischoff - I like the subtle weathering and I would not mind having more pictures.

MICHAEL WOODHOUSE hi roland - just got this kit and really like what you have done - hope mine goes as well.

Mike Grant Very nice clean build

Choppa Nutta nice

Richmond Wonderful

Stephan Ryll Very nice build

Roland K Thanks guys, still one of my favourite kits. I have built both versions and plan to build this version again with folded wings, open engine and the full eduard pe treatment. Looking forward to doing that (other than the canopy which is a pain)
