I'm from Zadar, Croatia. I took my love for airplanes and helicopters in left hand, my ever present inner child in right hand and PUFF...there came my passion for plastic modeling.
I got myself both single (Revell) and two-seater (Trumpeter) Falcon in 1/144 scale. One seater will be classic grey/grey tone Falcon, so I decided to make twin seater in more colorful version. Since I came across solid aftermarket parts [...]
Not much story to tell...just another idea I had to pursue

One of my favorite helicopters and I've been waiting for a long time for a decent and affordable kit in 1/48 scale. As soon as Zvezda issued this kit I had to order one.
My father used to fly Mi-8 for a while (Croatian Air Force Transport [...]
