Naval modeling - ships, submarines and boats.
My completed 1/72 RAF Rescue Launch.
This is the first time I have made the ‘fish trap’ type of antennas as used on vessels. Need to practice more.

This is my third model.
I can say, this one was the easiest so far. The model, molding to be specific is quite good quality, all parts fits just fine. The only problem with this package is that for some reason I didn't received not a [...]
My second model.
A bit easy model to assemble and a lot of fun with it.
This time I diluted acrylic paint 😀
The only thing I didn't use is the modeling paste for gaps or putty. I noticed that some parts are not fitting properly so I [...]
Hmm, where to start...
My very first model. With this model I had absolutely no knowledge in modeling, paint and all those stuff.

I have always been fascinated by the Spruance and Ticonderoga class ships. Today it is not easy to get a kit that I would like to build again. This kit is from Revell, 1/700 scale and I was pleasantly surprised compared to other brands. I [...]
