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.

Yufan 1/35 figures

This is the first step of future diorama, special forces extraction by UH-60 Blackhawk. Recently I came across excellent 1/35 resin figures and I decided to give a try at something other than airplanes. It was supposed to be US SEAL unit, [...]

1/48 Tamiya A6M3 Zero

I was quite dissapointed when I opened this kit. Not many parts, not too much details, it seemed like underestimated myself. But, I had to add at least one Japanese WWII aircraft to my collection, and I did not expect too much from $20 [...]

1/48 Hasegawa A-4M Skyhawk

As the title says, last month I spent with wonderful Hasegawa kit. Model is pretty much out of the box, except I added pilot figure from old "decomissioned" Revell's F-8 Crusader. The kit itself was fun and easy to assemble, only [...]

Aerobatic – BAE Hawk Red Arrows vs. Aermacchi MB-339A Frecce Tricolori

1/72 Revell BAE Hawk and 1/72 Italeri Aermacchi MB-339A in aerobatic color schemes flying side by side. I thought it would be a nice change from grey military schemes. In 2016, my brother attended English Royal International Air Tattoo [...]
