Scale modeller, software developer, jazz and metal fan from Ukraine. Prefer aviation kits in 1/72 and 1/48 scale.

P-39Q-1 "Devastating Devil" (Arma Hobby 1/48)

The latest kit from Arma Hobby in 1/48 scale – P-39Q which follows their 1/72 Cobra's line. The kit was released in July this year, so it's quite fresh. I've decided to build the model in a very attractive and unusual camouflage scheme [...]

Bf 109G-4/R6 of Regia Aeronautica (Eduard 1/48)

Well, I found another interesting non-standard Bf 109 paint scheme. Eduard included a nice RA option in their G-4 ProfiPACK, so it was a no brainer for me. A great addition to my 109F in Spanish markings. I followed Eduard's instructions [...]

Microscale's Set and Sol 3D printed stand

I'm not sure if it's an appropriate place for such things, so if this post will be deleted - I will understand. But I want to share this type of modelling I do also - 3D. I've created this stand for Microscale's Set and Sol decal liquids. [...]

J2M3 Raiden (Zoukei-Mura 1/32)

Raiden is my favorite Japanese aircraft from the WWII era. I made it in 1/72 scale, so now it's time for a king size J2M3. I picked up a kit from Zoukei-Mura's for it. Mainly because I wanted to try something from this manufacturer. I had [...]

Bf109F-4 In Spanish Service

This build started several years ago with an excellent SBS resin cockpit that I happened to have. Actually, I built the whole model for it, and (as usual) it's not visible on the final photos. But anyway - I have some good WIP photos of [...]

V-1 or Fieseler Fi103 (Tamiya 1/48)

A well known kit of the V-1 from Tamiya in 1/48. It's not a new kit in any sense of the word, but it's still pretty decent. I bought it for a quick, relaxing build, but it was waiting for me for a couple of months. Mostly it was waiting [...]

F6F-3 Hellcat (Eduard 1/48)

This is recently re-issued 8227 ProfiPack with a well-known Hellcat in this scale. I wanted to try new Eduard aftermarket offerings, so I've added 3D printed wheel bays and bronze legs. It's nice additions to the quite old kit, especially [...]

De Havilland Vampire F.3 (Airfix 1/48)

There's something very attractive about early jets - you can see some remnants of the piston era and the new approaches, so it's always something in between. My favourite is the Supermarine Attacker - a jet fighter with a tail wheel. [...]

Miles Magister (MikroMir 1/32)

Malies Magister was a trainer and acrobatics aircraft designed in the 1930s. I like this classic look of it, and it's visible from the start, that the aircraft is from the Golden Era of aviation. For me, Miles Magister was one of the first [...]

Harrier G.R.1A (AMMO/Kinetic 1/48)

Harrier is a special subject to me, because FROG's (produced by NOVO actually) G.R. Mk.I was one of my first plastic kits, if not the very first one. Modern aviation is not my usual subject, but I've made an exclusion for this build. This [...]
