Vostok 1 - spacecraft
(Soviet Union)
The author: Jan Rukr, Waclaw Tabencki, Drahomíra Frýbová
Publisher: ABC 14/2022
Scale: ?
Another addition to space technology is this interesting twin model of the Vostok 1 spacecraft. I recently glued the first model that was published in Zenit magazine, now it's the turn of the first model that was published in ABC magazine.The original version was published in ABC 7/1962, a reprint of this model was published in this year's ABC, which was supplemented with a version by J.Rukr, who also made a nice stand for both versions. A few words about the original:
Vostok 1 was a Soviet-piloted orbital space flight as part of the Vostok program and the first manned space flight ever. Vostok launched on April 12,
1961 with cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin on board. He flew around the Earth and after 106 minutes he successfully landed on a parachute.
I glued the model from the original from the ABC magazine, I struggled a bit
with it, but somehow I managed to glue it... a few photos:

Magion 1 - satellite
(Czechoslovakia)
Author: Roland „Rawen” Havran
Source: free model
Scale: 1:?
AGION 1 (MAGnetosphere-IONosphere) was the first independent Czechoslovak satellite launched on October 24, 1978 as part of the international program for magnetosphere research. The satellite was largely developed and built by a team of employees of the Institute of Geophysics, which later became part of the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. The MAGION 1 satellite weighed 15 kg and carried two scientific instruments for measuring low-frequency electromagnetic fields and charged particles on its modest deck. The satellite worked until 1981 and is still considered an important achievement of Czechoslovak technicians and scientists. After the success of the MAGION 1 satellite, the series of successful Czechoslovak and then Czech artificial satellites of the MAGION program continued until 2002, when the MAGION 5 satellite ceased to operate in orbit. Currently, the staff of the Department of Space Physics of the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic continue the long-standing tradition in the development of satellites instrument and cooperate on important European missions for the research of the Solar System from the Sun (Solar Orbiter), through the Earth (TARANIS) and Mars (ExoMars), to Jupiter (JUICE). (I am quoting the text that is with the model)
The model is made for the 40th anniversary of the launch of the first Czechoslovak satellite into space (1978-2018). I have glued Magion 1 a long time ago, but it was a model from ABC, this model is more refined. And since it is our first satellite, it should be properly glued, so I adjusted the model a little more according to the available photos.
My edits:
I printed out the solar panels again and originally I just wanted to stick them on the body of the probe, but according to the photos, the panels were on the pads (there was a gap), so I did it that way, it was more work, but it looks better ... where possible, I added the cabling and one more technical modification - the antennas are slide-in, so they can be separated from the model and the model will not take up so much space in the display case...

Thanx, if possible I always try to add some of my own details because it makes the model unique...
You almost guessed it 
I'm slowly continuing, I'm constantly adding details according to the available photos...current status (working version for now, more details will be added):

https://www.zealot.com/threads/sputnik-1-1-20.181494/ It looks like this ball.
thanks for the link, it's a very nice and detailed model, I probably won't have it as nice, but that's okay
I would like to gradually build the first Soviet and American satellites (Sputnik 1-3, Explorer 1 and Vanguard 1) I have all models except Sputnik 2 (capsule with Laika), I would have to make it myself

...I completed the details and sprayed with the base color, I will correct the mistakes and spray again....in the final, I would like to spray it with chrome color...
