So cool. The duck with gas mask is awesome 😃 Is it WC-Duck (I dunno if you have the cleaner brand too)

How to make a metal-tension spoke wheel - Great Guide Plastic Models YouTube video by PLASMO - plastic models

Now, maybe it's obvious to you, but I heard putting these delicate parts into hot water before handling helps to keep them together. If you want to repair it, you can try this guide if it is unknown to you: youtu.be/dXmrvS8rHbA?...

😬🙄

who made this

Lol, I just threw away pile of these, stone tough. Left them at parents when I left for scale modelling hiatus for cca 25 years. 🤣

Oil leak happened #histscalemodels. At same time I started to build 1/72 bf 109G-10 and continue with 1/48 Avia S-199.

Ouch, that must be expensive 😕

Hehe, I have same problem, bought it too long time ago to return but Hasegawa Cougar is not to be get easily, as I'm finding out. I will search for it when someone re-sells it at some show. It will appear eventually

Did you manage to replace it, or did you buy the right kit for it? 😅

The feeling you want to relax at second-hand 1978 Hasegawa/Hales F9F-2 Panther kit, because of wife-ordered #buildthestash challenge and you find out you ordered 3D cockpit decals for F9F-8 Cougar, and yet only because it doesn't fit. Did something like that ever happen to you? #histscalemodels

Tell me about it. I live in Konepaja 🥲

It is turned off and it's the most photogenic place for models in this apartment 😄

Hurray for the mancave 😃

That is a grind. Feels more like a chore than fun 🥲

With its small brother mk.V from Směr I built while resting from the big project

Every step of build I mess something up, stencils break, scratches, accidental glove prints. Antenna is glued on 4x. But I still like it. Won't take it to any competition tho 😃 at least I didn't scratch the glass this time. Yet wires and weathering left... And whatever breaks off 🙈 #histscalemodels

Can you get away just with imaginary tracks? 😄

Zippo-brand lighter fuel. Eduard film goes off then. Don't light it up, use cotton swab 😁

Kids are out on a cruise, so I'm trying to paint/write logo on tyres and to mount old style scratch built gun camera on the wing. #histscalemodels
PS. Congratulations to everyone winning silverware for their models today.

Good luck 👍

Watch out, World Cup is the tournament NHL organises in the US. You probably mean the World Championship.

Looks nice. Seems it also fulfilled it's role as a toy... Happy model.

Those "Remove before flight" tags are there for a reason. I guess they don't plan launching that ordinance then 😃

...since i made it on gloss varnish (i knew I will screw something up), or sand it down completely, or throw it away 🫠

Thanks for these points, i have less problem with the bottom, since I have photo of this particular plane. I made flush panels darker because i saw them darker on bottom, but it will have probably different reason for it to be darker there... I am pondering now, if to just clean the post-shade...

Blimey, never thought of this 🙈

Awesome! What are you using for the white ash, if I may ask? If its not an actual ash... 😀

It is AK RAF Dark Earth under warm light i have over the table. 😊

After Christmas trip to fatherland i finally got to do something with my Spitfire. Tried to do some mild post-shading, but i dont really know, what im doing, imitating youtube 😀 And now im thinking, i should have maybe applied at least the big roundels first. #histscalemodels

Yep, at least at super-hobby. There is one other version of this for 850€ too. I guess you get so much plastic it needs to be priced that way.

I wish you luck, would join, but i don't want to waste 650€, not to speak just of space 😁
