As a military pilot's son, my early childhood was closely connected to airplanes, tanks and guns, so I dreamt of military career when I grow up. But then during '90s I had a misfortune to see a war from up close and I realized I do love airplanes and tanks, but I don't like the army.
So here I am, mid 30s lawyer, trying to stay in touch with my childhood love through plastic modeling.
I don't even know what to say about this model. The idea of a crop duster in action came up to my head, thought about it for few weeks, finally found some time to isolate myself from the world and make it happen.

After two modernized MiGs from 191st Squadron (https://imodeler.com/2019/06/1-48-mig-21um-bis-croatian-air-force/) I tried to go back to the past. 22nd Squadron of Croatian Air Force was formed on November 6th 1991 as predecessor of newly [...]

Not my favorite airplane, but a year ago I bought Hataka IAF paint set for cheap. After few unsuccessful attempts to use it (I changed my mind in last moment for A-4, F-4 and F-16 paint scheme) I decided to put Israeli markings on airplane [...]
Fun little kit, out of the box. Eduard made it too easy with this one, no need for filling, sanding, correcting...everything fit like a charm. This was the first time I got a chance to compare Hellcat with previously assembled Bf-109, [...]
One of my shelves is reserved for small civilian airplanes, I always wanted collection of colorful Cessnas, Pipers, Beechcrafts etc. next to my usual collection of warbirds. This one's my first (civilian). I did not follow instructions, [...]
I wanted to add MiG-23 to my 1/48 collection for a while. Been aiming for Trumpeter but I found Italeri kit for a cheap price. It's not very detailed kit but it gave me much less headache than other Italeri kits I trashed away. Anyway, [...]
