HERMANN MARWEDE - Search & Rescue Vessel - Revell 1/200

Hello again,

I've completed this model few months ago but had no time to photograph it properly. 

Nice wee kit, really enjoyed it until the painting time. I think I can't work with white. I've build a white car before and it was a bit of a pain, now I've just made sure that it's really hard and demanding colour. Overall no big issues with the kit. Of course railings are way to thick for the scale, but nothing dramatic. Decals could be better. And colour references in the instructions too. Oh and a rigging plan could be great:)

A6M Zero Prototype - Hasegawa 1/48

Hello,

It's been a while, but I wasn't lazy! My latest build is a prototype of a 'Zero'. The kit was really nice, az you can guess, as it is a Hasegawa. Nice details and comes along very nicely. I've added PE parts for cockpit, but decided to have it closed anyway (although the result was really good). The only struggle was with the canopy. It was a nightmare but, was worth it.

Dallas Revenue Cutter, New York 1815 - Artesania Latina 1/50

Hello!

Just finished my first wooden model in my life. It was a massive challenge for me. The kit itself was probably ok, but plans and instructions were a big problem for a beginner like me. Anyways, I'm quite happy with the result, as the model looks good on a shelf!

Enjoy!

MiG 21R - Eduard 1/48

Hi!

I've done many many model so far, but apparently never did a model painted in Polish colour scheme, probably because there is not many models with Polish decals in the box and I'm quite lazy and unsuccessful when it comes to find proper decals and add ons. I've come across this kit on one of the recent shows and have seen that kit......

Canberra Pr.9 - Revell 1/72

Hello,

I've purchased this kit on a car boot sale for £2. I'd probably never buy this kit anywhere else, but leaving it for £2 would be a stupid thing as I'm trying to be an universal modeller:)

Anyway, the kit appeared to be another old Matchbox repack with a lack of details (the cockpit literaly doesn't exist), no to mention lack of panel lines and some missing parts on fuselage. A lot of sanding as well.. Whole kit had one really good thing. Decal sheet. I've spent three days putting them on. 157 all together, some of them really small.

I was quite happy with the result, so there you have it:
