    P-39N Airacobra in 1/33 by Halinski (2, 2003)

    Many thanks! I guess I'll have to wait for confirmation from Swinger (see above), however, since it seems uncertain that this issue really contains parts, etc. Seems like it might just be a photo report of the build, not the parts. Right? But many thanks anyways! - Leif

    P-39N Airacobra in 1/33 by Halinski (2, 2003)

    Oooohhh! Makes your mouth water, doesn't it. I concur, watch the indicated thread all the way to the bottom (never mind if you, like me, don't get the Polish; there are more, and more, and more images, all the way down), and see what's possible (and dream on...). Here's a taste of what's...

    P-39N Airacobra in 1/33 by Halinski (2, 2003)

    When I first got this kit in my hands, it was a revelation. So this is was cardmodelling had evolved into - fantastic! So rich in detail, and so crisp in printing, that you could easily enlarge it at least twice (as I found out when scanning it at 300 dpi). Instructional images (reflecting...

    A comparison between Fly Models and Halinski P38-J models

    I am the lucky owner of two kits of the Lockheed Lightning P-38-J, one from Fly Models (nr 67, 1995) designed by veteran Tadeusz Grzelczak, and one a little bit more recent from Halinski (4-5 1997). The two models make for interesting comparisons. The Fly Models P38 is large (roughly A3)...

    Liberator B-24D, Fly Model Nr 21

    I bought this kit on E-bay, Germany, from what since has become my regular supplier, a Polish gentleman (Slawomir Wojcik, Modelservice) operating out of Germany. The Liberator was one of the first plastic models I got as a kid; must have been already in the late 50s. Unfortunately it never...

    The moderator squeeks

    For what it's worth I like personal reviews, the kind of thing where people tell you things they really feel for positively (while still, in a civilized and courteous way, noting less attractive features). Don't take this the wrong way - because I really like the initiative to make reviews...

    Quick and simple rivets

    Yes, definitely. As far as reinventing the wheel, I recognize the technique from larger scale aircraft modeling. I remember a very detailed plan of a 1/6 Curtiss Jenny, where it was suggested that you reproduce every bolt and rivet on the engine covering plates by small drops of two-component...

    Stridsbat 90H

    That's an exquisite model! And it's Swedish, of course, right? Where are you based yourself? Would be interesting to know a little bit about the scale of your model, to be able to judge the high quality of workmanship even better. It is obviously not a one-off attempt (since you've got...
