    I managed to attach more parts, as you can see in the picture there are two wire parts but they are replacements for the print parts. I swapped to speed up the build as well as to see if it could be built as a mobile version. The parts fit perfectly. And there are a few parts missing from the print again.

    First cutting and gluing, the boiler is ready and the parts are missing from the print. So far everything fits perfectly.

    I have been blessed with the opportunity to build a test model of a PENYDARREN locomotive made or more correctly 3D printed. This is a test and the model in the final version will look a little different, it will be completed with some details and corrections. The publisher of the model is the company ‘Świat z kartonu’ and the scale is 1:35. Below is a test print.

    Curtiss is taking shape and catching the geometry, moving slowly but forward.

    Thanks very much

    Construction completed and Caproni Ca.100 from FLY in 1:72 ready to be displayed in the gallery. The build went without any problems, the parts fit very well, the decal is delicate and fits very nicely on the surface of the model. For me, the only thing missing on the decal is the clocks for the instrument panel. From the extras I made up the fuel lines based on the photos and all the strings. Model of Caproni Ca.100 aircraft, Military School, Italian Air Force, Venice, Italy the 1930 Thank you to FLY for providing the model for review. p.s. I promised you some words on how I paint. So with me it looks like that the most complicated tool in my model shop is an airbrush or a whole set of them. For such painting I use an airbrush with a nozzle of 0.15mm and to paint you need to be able to paint very narrow lines, for this paint with a very good pigment. I prepare for myself color charts or photos of the airplane I am painting and looking at this I try to reproduce the camouflage on the model. The selection of the parameters of pressure and dilution of paint should be chosen empirically. Here is how it looks like for me, if there are any questions please write boldly I will be happy to answer.

    When a model assembles like LEGO bricks it's a sheer pleasure, and the Caproni Ca.100 is just so much fun to assemble. I made up the tension cables and fuel lines and here I used the photos of the plane. I'll take another look to see if everything is right, if I didn't forget something during the construction of the Ca.100. And in the next post I'll describe how I paint such camouflage, I'm wondering whether to make a video of painting and set up a channel on YT for myself?

    The camouflage is already finished now it's left to me to apply the decals and put everything together. All these spots are painted freehand, without using stencils or masks.

    Fun to paint camouflage spots like this, one more colour of spots and you can put it all together.

    Another colour of camouflage applied. Actually, the first two colours were a sheer pleasure, and the fun would only start with the other two colours.
  11. Kriss
    The first colour of camouflage applied and masked. I still have three colours left to apply.
  12. Kriss
    Prepared for painting, so far the build is going without problems and all parts fit.

    I have already managed to put it together as you can see. The parts fit together like LEGO bricks. I wanted to do it straight out of the box but unfortunately I can't do it that way even though it is a test model. I know that technology does not allow for thinner parts, but I replaced the aileron control cables with thinner ones. They were too eye-catching.

    Fuselage interior finished, parts fit perfectly. Pilot belts from decals from the kit. The only downside is the lack of clocks on the decal sheet. However, on the plastic parts of the boards the clocks are reproduced very nicely. Just a little work and the effect is complete. I made the boards on a plywood pattern because I saw such in the documentation. I know camouflage painting is a big challenge and it's still in 72.

    Caproni will be in box camouflage, the prettiest for me. In addition, we still have the following paintwork to choose from: Caproni Ca.100, Military School, Italian Air Force, Venice, Italy the 1930s Caproni Ca.100, original warbird, Bresso (Milan), Italy 2021 Caproni Ca.100, Spanish Air Force, Spain 1937 Caproni Ca.100, No. 450 Sq., RAAF, Agnone, Italy autumn 1943

    I was given a 1:72 scale model of the Caproni Ca.100 Italian school aircraft released by FLY for testing. Four versions were released at once and each in a different box. And I received for the test, in my opinion, the most interesting camouflage version, the fly72034 Caproni Ca.100 Landplane. Isn't the Italian camouflage on the box beautiful? The others are also very interesting and we have other versions to choose from that differ by engine and also on floats. Here they are: fly72055 Caproni Ca.100 Float plane fly72056 Caproni Ca.100 Radial engine fly72057 Caproni Ca.100 Float and radial engine The contents of the box are common to all versions, two frames with parts to make each version. In this we have two sets of wings with or without slots, two engines, etc. We also have injection moulded cockpit covers and for this we have a small sheet and on top of this we have spoke wheels and tension parts. The manual is also common to all versions but has the differences that are between the versions marked.

    The model is finished and I already invite you to the gallery. I made a few changes to the model compared to what IBG offered in their kit. But these are all cosmetic changes. Based on the photos and plans I made an open cockpit but without the windscreens and in it I added a few small details, on the engine cover I changed the locks for opening it and on the underside of the wings there is a top coloured leading edge and wing tip. I described everything in the workshop thread. Model of a Polish aircraft used by the Bulgarian Air Force. PZL P.24 B, 1st Armejski Orliak (1st Army Squadron), Bozurishte airfield near Sofia 1937. The inscription on the fuselage (Simeon Kniaz Tyrnovskiy) was applied on the occasion of the birth of Tsar Boris's son (16 June 1937) The aircraft in such markings took part, among others, in the ceremonial dedication of the banners of Bulgarian aviation units on 27 June 1937.

    To conclude the workshop, the last photo is one for the gallery. I made a few changes to the model compared to what IBG offered in their kit. But these are all cosmetic changes. Based on the photos and plans I made an open cockpit but without windscreens and there I added a few small details, on the engine cowling I changed the locks to open it and on the underside of the wings there is a top coloured leading edge and wing tip. I have described everything in the workshop thread. Model of a Polish PZL P.24 B aircraft, 1st Armejski Orliak (1st Army Squadron), Bozhurishte airfield near Sofia 1937. The inscription on the fuselage (Simeon Kniaź Tyrnowski) was applied on the occasion of the birth of Tsar Boris's son (16 June 1937) The aircraft in such markings took part, among others, in the ceremonial consecration of the banners of the Bulgarian aviation units on 27 June 1937.

    The hull closed, the interiors of both crew compartments fitted almost perfectly. There was a bit of sanding. I also added two panes of glass to the top of the fuselage. Now working on the rest of the model.
  20. Kriss
    Fuselage and all elements to be found in the fuselage ready. In addition to this, the inlet above the engine is cut out, there are cut-outs in the fuselage for six windows, four of which are already inserted. The two upper windows will be inserted when the fuselage is closed, it will be easier for me to make them. In the horizontal stabilisers I drilled a hole for the locating pins and in the fuselage I also drilled one. That would be it, I am now off to paint the interior and exhaust.
  21. Kriss
    Compartments of both cabins ready to be fitted into the fuselage.
  22. Kriss
    Another completed model lands in the display case, namely the Bf-110 G-2/R3 5./ZG 76 Reichsverteidigung, winter 1944. It was a bit of fun fitting a few parts, but otherwise a pleasure. Enjoy watching.
  23. Kriss
    After a long hiatus of my absence I have returned. I managed to do the interiors of both cabs, still in parts and am checking the fit of everything.
  24. Kriss
    I managed to finish another model, photo from the workshop taken at night. Gallery soon, yes I am still thinking about replacing the gun barrels with metal ones. But this will only be cosmetic. The next model in 72 is Ca.100 from FLY, such a quick test model.
  25. Kriss
    Work is coming to a close now, the cabin will be open as I planned. The glazing frame shaped, divided and painted. All that remains is for me to glaze it and fit it to the model.
