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 [...]

Tamiya Wildcat

This is the third of three kits I picked up from the vendor tables at last year’s local IPMS contest, the Tamiya 1/48 F4F-4. (And now I’ve finished all three. Yay me!) As usual with Tamiya, the kit goes together without a problem. The [...]

1/144 DC-6B.

Here’s another one I never shared from the pre social media days. It’s the Minicraft DC-6 from 1997 or 98. I built this one in ‘98 and it was pretty new at the time. I discarded the Pan Am kit decals in favor of these United [...]

15 minutes of fame for a de Havilland Gipsy Major I or: from the spotlight into the darkness. A detailed story from the construction of the Miles Magister by Mikro Mir.

Do you know this too? Sometimes kits contain whole jewels of modelling, such as a wonderfully reproduced radio equipment, a detailed navigator's workstation or a promisingly detailed engine, which then in the further building process are [...]
