    ATR-72 in Arkia (Israel) livery 1:72

    Hello all. It's the time for the very intricate part - the main gear cowling. The part has no formers beside the main gear well and it should be build and formed and only then mounted on the fuselage. The mounting process is also pretty difficult since the part is quite large hence wiggling on...

    ATR-72 in Arkia (Israel) livery 1:72

    Hello all. Since I've dropped the fuselage twice, I decided do make the stand, provided by the designers. Nothing difficult here. Next, is the wing base cowling on top of the fuselage. Oh, boy, this part drive me nuts. The rear parts had to be formed by rounding to a very small diameter in...

    ATR-72 in Arkia (Israel) livery 1:72

    Well, obviously, in 1:72 scale some simplifications must be made. Let's not forget that the main strut of the main landing gear is about 1.5 mm in diameter. The model design is not 100% fit to the real one, but it seems to be pretty close approximation. If it will look too simple, I will...

    ATR-72 in Arkia (Israel) livery 1:72

    Next should be the wing mount cowling or main gear cowling. The latter is very intricate to form and mount. So, I will do the wing mount cowling next

    ATR-72 in Arkia (Israel) livery 1:72

    Hello and a Happy New Year to you all. Finished the fuselage and the vertical tail. This design requires cutting the slot for the tail, inserting the tail and then attaching last fuselage parts, gluing the former onside the part. This method can potentially lead to former protruding on the...

    T-84BM Oplot, Ukrainian MBT in 1:35

    And so, after a year, this T-84BM model is finished. What I liked: it is a good design of a rare model. Although some things were simplified, it was done very correctly. It is a good pretty simple model. What I did not like: side skirts are weakly designed, they tend to fold in. The hull...

    T-84BM Oplot, Ukrainian MBT in 1:35

    Hello all. So, the tracks. Usually, it's a nightmare for a builder, but not for this model. Some double layer strips , some side walls, some gluing tabs that I prepared and that's it. Nothing too difficult here,

    T-84BM Oplot, Ukrainian MBT in 1:35

    Well, since the sides of the hull are not reinforced, the bogies do wiggle. But the wheels will be placed into quite stiff tracks structure, hopefully this complex will be sturdy enough

    T-84BM Oplot, Ukrainian MBT in 1:35

    Hello all. One more step - suspension of the bogies. Or a simulation of it. Very simplified. I guess it's OK for this scale
