“The Huff” F-86F 1/48 academy
Hello my colleagues! After my small modeler pause I´m back. When I finished University and got a new job, I started worked on Sabre and there is result. I think, that everybody knows this kit. Fitting of main parts are really good, but [...]

Thanks Again, iModeler!

Tiger Moth WIP – how I do my biplane rigging
I hardly ever make work in progress photos, but someone asked how I do my by-plane rigging. This should clear things up a bit. It's a self developed method which I originally came up with to do antenna wires. I always use 2 or 3 lb mono [...]
