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.

I love that '188

You've really got a nice soft demarcation between the greys

Some really nice models coming off your bench Marek. The Modelsvit Bf109C is superb. Any chance of more photos of the AModel Il-12?

Fantastic work. Outstanding finish on both.

Mike,
There are some in an August'21 gallery:

... this was an unusual subject and a pig of a kit!

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.

Two fab looking builds there!

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

Hi Marek. Fantastic work on both.

I certainly understand how concern and anxiety from world events can drain enthusiasm for trivial things like modeling.

Yes, I think we can all sympathise there.

Nevertheless, great work, Marek!

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.

Solid builds Marek. This is high class modeling.
