soosnik: great what if!!! love it!

 

pilotoasso: as Laud said, airbrush in modelling is as TIR in sims - once you get it, you wonder how you managed all that time without it

 

There's a number of things wrong with Zvezda's kit - too wide front part around canopy, engine bulges transformation into spine is not the best, tail stinger is a bit off, shape of engine intakes and main landing gear doors are wrong, front wheel mudguard is missing,... but all these mistakes aside it builds up really nice and without much hassle, and you get a boarding ladder and very nice figures of seated and standing pilots.

Just finished this whirlybird for the SAM review. I must say that this was one of the most enjoyable models that I have worked with. The model is not without its flaws though, pretty basic cockpit with a bunch of equippment missing including IP decals, some filler was required during assembly but nothing drastic and I really had a go with scratchbuilding, wiring the rotor, multi-stage weathering,... enough of talk, here she is!

These models are available in most countries, some are limited production so they can be a bit pricey.

 

Among the top companies that made modern aircraft in 1:72 scale are: Century Wings, Hobby Master, Corgi, Dragon Wings, and Witty wings (listed from best to average).

 

I like these models because not only they are made from quality metal, but you can display them with or without gears, optional ordinance, move-able surfaces such can canopy, rear elevators...etc.

 

Oh they are metal!!!!!

No painting involved then?

Action dioramas

 

Came across this the other day :

 

Action dioramas

 

by Bjørn Jacobsen

I have been building scale models for many years now, mostly WWII planes, but also a few dioramas.

 

After years of modelling, I find it more and more rewarding and challenging to make dioramas,

because it require not only modelling skills, but also a sense of realism and a lot of research and scratch building

to get it as realistic as possible.

 

I hope some of my models or dioramas might inspire some of you to try out this exciting hobby.

Below you will find the contents of this site.
