    The decals turned out to be sensational, delicate and the backing very thin, and as if the model didn't have convex lines and rivets they would lay perfectly. Almost because once they were laid, any movement proved almost impossible. I also considered using masks, but I was afraid of their adherence to the surface of the models in places of lines and rivets. And after my efforts, one carbon paper broke and I had to make myself a mask. And so with carbon paper and masks the model got the markings.

    Yesterday I received such a marvel from the company "Fly", so quickly took photos of what is inside the box. So it flies in for a quick test workshop. The "Fly" company has released the Breguat in three boxes, but I will try to write more about them later. My model will be in Polish painting. And this is what it looks like ready with the decals for all three boxes. Thank you to the company 'Fly' for the model received for review.

    Camouflage completed, RLM74 laid as specified by the manufacturer.

    Work continues, the next colour laid is RLM75. Only RLM74 is still to be applied and the work can be completed.

    The kit comes with two options for making the cab, in both closed and open versions. The frames are printed in both versions and the glazing is in the vacu version. The model is going to the workshop so the next post will be from the workshop. I've uploaded a photo of the cab glazing, which is how it's made in this kit. I have read what you have written and 3D printed models are the future of our hobby. Especially if you can make niche models, prototypes or if there was only one or two copies. And this is quite an interesting proposition because the manufacturer only prints so much and it is needed. The only thing is that the quality of the print itself could be better, the surface is smooth, but here and there you can see the graduation (teeth) after printing.

    The central part of the fuselage looks to be the most difficult part of the model to clean, on one side is the crew cabin and underneath we have the open bomb bay and the recess for the retractable gunner/bombardier cradle.

    So I managed to lay the RLM 76 and it came out quite interesting as you can see, but I like it and I don't know about you.

    Thanks a lot, sometimes this solution helps too.

    Such a test there of shading under camouflage, it will be interesting to see how it comes out.

    When I saw the announcement of the release of the Polish PZL.46 "Sum" reconnaissance-bomber aircraft, I was delighted; dreams do come true. Having it on my shelf is a joy. I have just received my first 3D printed model from the Art of Trans company in the 3D Polish Wings series. They have it in 1:72 / 48 / 32, and I'm going to get it in 32 too. So this is what it looks like inside, instructions in pdf form, vacu glazing. The kit doesn't include decals or bombs and the open bomb bay is begging for them. And I'm happy to get it right away as it's one of many models I've always dreamed of having on my shelf.

    Peter and Paul I agree with you, these models have their own charm and charm. A memory of young carefree years one could say. And there are quite a few of them at my place and I have to do something with them, because you know the wife doesn't grumble but asks when I'm going to finish a model because the winds are blowing on the shelves for now.

    I laid the primer and applied a white stripe on the fuselage as well as the yellow underside of the engine and marked the radiator inlet and outlet with grey. I masked everything off and applied primer once more.
  13. Kriss
    And that's my point too.

    You are right, I have accumulated a lot of models over the years and some of them are started to varying degrees and now I am slowly starting to finish them. Somehow I don't have the energy to bring such models to their present state, i.e. to route lines and rivet and redo them. Sometimes, as a total relaxation, I build a model like this "Centauro".
  15. Kriss
    The model as a whole put together and prepared for painting, just masking on the glazing and recesses and it will be great.

    I spent the weekend at work, but there was also time to work on the model. The interior is complete and rich, as only the seat is there or, to put it another way, something that imitates it. I also fitted the wings and made a place for the landing gear bracket so that it had a place to stand and on the shelf so that it wouldn't come apart after a while.

    I found such a marvel from "Smer" in my stocks and was wondering what to do with it, a deep valorisation. That is, re-routing the lines and riveting and making the interior from scratch or leaving it as it is. I also wanted to give it just a bit of a facelift and redo the cab and its cowl and also make an inlet and outlet in the radiator and do something to improve the undercarriage. But after discussions with my colleagues it is thanks to Marcin that I will make it in the VINTAGE version, that is, I don't fix anything just put it together. That's my hope for a quick project, sometimes you need to de-stress. There are two camouflage versions in the kit and I had no problem choosing and I am making an Italian for the collection. Below is the in-box of the kit and as the model is years old I think everyone knows it.

    I replaced the kit instrument panel with one from YAHU Models and this is the only addition dedicated to this model. By the way, I decided to valorise it a bit and replaced the compass with the one from the YAHU kit for the PZL P.11c. Compared to the resin from the kit, this one looks a lot better.
  19. Kriss
    The belts that come with the kit are very nice but I decided to change them to belts from YAHU Models but dedicated to the PZL P.11c.

    Stretches are being made and various small details are being added.
  21. Kriss
    Central lubrication system done according to the documentation. The description stated that the hoses were unpainted and made of copper tubing.
  22. Kriss
    The tensioners from Lukgraph are and this toggle is made of plates of plastic of different thicknesses.
  23. Kriss
    The tinkering and fiddling continues, such additions according to the documentation. Although the documentation raises more question marks than it answers, I struggle on.
  24. Kriss
    The work is in progress and I am trying to make tension in the truss, and I purchased the turnbuckles from Lukgraph.
  25. Kriss
    You could say that the work is finished, now it's up to me to authorise whether everything is as it should be and to do a dry fitting on the pedestal of the monument. Even my son Peter got involved in the work on the monument by painting with me.
