Scale modeller, software developer, jazz and metal fan from Ukraine. Prefer aviation kits in 1/72 and 1/48 scale.
New Spitfire Mk.Vb by Eduard in 1/48 scale. I was waiting for the trop version since I saw the sprue of Mk.I last year. And here it is, the first on out of the Eagle's Call dual combo box.
Kit is no surprise – a "standard" Eduard Spitfire. What[...]
Bf 109E-4, new kit by Special Hobby in 1/72 scale.
Kit goes really well, the fit is good, but check the canopy/fuselage parts before gluing. Detail level is impressive. The only aftermarket I've used was metal barrels (Master) and exhausts (Rex[...]
Mitsubishi Ka-14 by FineMolds in 1/48 scale. One of the best model kits I've built recently. Comes together really easy and enjoyable. Highly recommended!
With this build I was experimenting again with the weathering and shading, so I didn't ma[...]
And this is my first biplane model kit so far. The main purpose of this build was rigging.
Despite that fact, that this kit was released in 2019, it's a standard Roden kit, but now also overpriced in addition to other issues. Decals are no good[...]
This build has started with this bottle of wine more than a year ago. It was a present, and then I've realized that I'm keeping in my hands a wine produced by Gordon Cooper – a pilot, test-pilot, astronaut. And since then, I've started to look f[...]
This model kit is one of my old wishes – a very early Spit with Watts two-blade propeller and the "flat" canopy in 1/48 scale. Eduard has released it's "Spitfire Story" box just two weeks ago, so it was a real quick build for me (but I've starte[...]
Again this is a new model kit of a Polish manufacturer Arma Hobby, released in May this year (2020). FM-2 kit is the first variant of the F4F's, and more to come - the clear sprue contains fuselage windows not needed for this GM-built Wildcat.

For several years I was holding this Tamiya's Mustang on my shelf waiting to be built. And finally, it's done. I found an interesting subject – an RAF unit but with a standard birdcage canopy plus invasion stripes.
Tamiya kit is a good kit, but[...]
This Swedish tank in a small 1/72 scale was just a weekend build. As a mainly aircraft modeller, from time to time I build AFV just to not get bored, and to learn something new. For example, currently I use B&W technique for the cockpits in [...]
Yes, it's another one boring Spitfire, but I can't resist (by the way, it's my 10th Spit ever built). I've fell in love with this high-altitude fighter in a non-standard grey/PRU blue painting scheme on the box art, so the kit was bought immedia[...]
