Marek's even bigger black hole
Re: Marek's even bigger black hole
Stunning and well crafted warbirds. The new tools from Airfix is a huge step up from the classics, but I find the recessed panel lines to be too deep and wide. For visual purposes they look amazing after the pin wash. Nice work mate.

First two completions for 2023; Matchbox 1/72 Ju-188E-1 (sort of) and Dora Wings' 1/48 MMB-155C1

Some excellent aircraft builds Marek, I used to love the old Matchbox kits as a kid.

Re: Marek's even bigger black hole
I love that '188 You've really got a nice soft demarcation between the greys
Best wishes

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Re: Marek's even bigger black hole
Some really nice models coming off your bench Marek. The Modelsvit Bf109C is superb. Any chance of more photos of the AModel Il-12?
Re: Marek's even bigger black hole
Fantastic work. Outstanding finish on both.

Re: Marek's even bigger black hole
Thanks Marek, looks good. I’ve struggled through a couple of aModel builds so I can appreciate the work you put in to get such a nice result.

Re: Marek's even bigger black hole
Slow year, slow modeller, slow me.
But I am getting something done. Between work, family, Ukraine and now Israel, there is not so much time left for mojo-driven thingies. But I did persevere with these ones:
Tornado Gr1 (Hasegawa 1:72)
and 1:35 Academy's Merkava 3
More pics in gallery

Re: Marek's even bigger black hole
Hi Marek. Fantastic work on both.
I certainly understand how concern and anxiety from world events can drain enthusiasm for trivial things like modeling.

Re: Marek's even bigger black hole
I missed your earlier post with the Ju 188 and the MMB. Two superb builds - I always wanted a 188 when I was much younger and the Matchbox kit came too late for me. Excellent finish on both. The Phantom and tank also have foist class finishes.
Re: Marek's even bigger black hole
Solid builds Marek. This is high class modeling.
