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.

1/144 Dogfight: Armory Models Bf-109 vs Mark I Models Bristol Beaufighter

I tend to make most of my models "alive". So far I've made flying airplanes, recreated missile launches, waterbombing, crop dusting...This time I tried to make machinegun tracers. WW2 was most logical theme and 1/144 scale [...]

1/144 Armory Models Bf-109

Armory Models issued a great little set that contains sprues for two models of Bf-109. This one is actually my second attempt. First model is part of diorama that's not done yet. Kit is excellent for the scale, but providing pre cut mask [...]

Miniwing 1/144 Bell-206b Jetranger (Croatian Air Force markings)

Another tiny project completed...and this was really tiny. I had a chance to fly in real one almost 15 years ago, then I made one in 1/72, now I tried to go even smaller. I found restock of Miniwing Kiowa OH-58A at my favorite shop, and [...]

Zvezda 1/48 Mi-24 Hind, Croatian Air Force

I was wondering if I could make decent effect of launching flares. For this project I chose well known Mi-24 HIND, and Zvezda was logical choice of manufacturer. I decided to ditch provided decals and go with markings of Croatian Air Force [...]

ZVEZDA 1/48 Mi-8T Aeroflot Arctic Transportation

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 [...]

1/48 ZVEZDA Su-25 Frogfoot (Grach)

I don't choose my models, they choose me. I see a picture in my head and try to make it happen. Some time ago I saw a video of Frogfoot firing unguided rockets and had to put all my projects aside until I recreated what I saw. Zvezda was [...]

Great Wall Hobby; 1/48 MiG-29 Fulcrum

I've been waiting for a while to get my hands on decent Fulcrum kit. In last moments I resisted to get cheaper Revell and Academy kits and decided to save money for GWH. I must say, this kit is worth every penny. Perfect fit, not simple, [...]
