To my surprise, i managed to break up the tones of upper camo on the Mosquito and in my eye it doesn't look too bad. Now I'm pondering if to use the tamiya decals or rather mask the "don't step" area. #histscalemodels

Airfix Spitfire mk.22. I call it #finishedkits before i destroy it by some more tweaking. S ared to add more gloss. When cutting canopy parts out of sprue, pieces of it got ripped off 🙄. Spinner is backwards. It was fun, nevertheless. Now towards ruining the Mosquito 🙈 #histscalemodels

AK Camouflage Elastic Putty gives strong Venom vibes #histscalemodels

Tried new template for preshading and sprayed on layer (or three) of medium sea gray. Can't say I would encounter any problem this time. That's first 😄 I guess quality of an airbrush matters. #histscalemodels

Mosquito is primed and ready for paint job. The props are also primed but still on the sprue, i guess I do that part wrong. Other thing which ruins this plane... is dust. It's everywhere here. How do you fight dust? #histscalemodels

From now on, I am buying masks. Cause I'm not doing this on the Ju-88 i have in stash... 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 #histscalemodels

I like Ak's True Metal wax. Now. I will see how long it dries. And yes, carpet monster ate my cannon. #histscalemodels

I joined the fuselage halves on my mosquito and couldn't resist to dry-fit wings and gear. It is massive beast and surprisingly heavy in hand. Makes me happy 😀 #histscalemodels

I am finding tamiya decals and especially the decal belts are not to my liking. Very much. It looks as ridiculous as my ammo feeders. #histscalemodels

Back from long vacation without scale modelling outlet. Now cutting into Tamiya Mosquito. #histscalemodels Yes, ammo belt is tape. I tried plastic but it didn't bend enough. I will eventually hide it.

Random three photos i took today at #eDay in Litoměřice. It was sauna in the exhibition halls in 39° heat 🥵 #histscalemodels

Weekend speedbuild on. Airfix Spitfire mk.XXII. I am lately drawn to silver bullets. #histscalemodels

The feeling when you live in country not keeping the feast day and you can afford to go (for first time in ages) for breakfast after dropping kids at the daycare, and not just rushing to grind at work. #freeday

Only suitable thing i have here for #Bastillebuild. We have lot of time... but let's rather start. #histscalemodels

I thought to rest from perfect detailed kits and bought zts plastyk model of RWD-6 for 3€. The 1970's tool didn't age well at all (clear parts the most) and so i dont need to feel sorry to experiment. So far I scratch build canopy, which is horrible but still better than in the kit. #histscalemodels

So... how are you making those waves on leading edge? Because cut toothpick and maskol isn't the ideal way apparently. #histscalemodels

who made this

Oil leak happened #histscalemodels. At same time I started to build 1/72 bf 109G-10 and continue with 1/48 Avia S-199.

The feeling you want to relax at second-hand 1978 Hasegawa/Hales F9F-2 Panther kit, because of wife-ordered #buildthestash challenge and you find out you ordered 3D cockpit decals for F9F-8 Cougar, and yet only because it doesn't fit. Did something like that ever happen to you? #histscalemodels

Every step of build I mess something up, stencils break, scratches, accidental glove prints. Antenna is glued on 4x. But I still like it. Won't take it to any competition tho 😃 at least I didn't scratch the glass this time. Yet wires and weathering left... And whatever breaks off 🙈 #histscalemodels

Kids are out on a cruise, so I'm trying to paint/write logo on tyres and to mount old style scratch built gun camera on the wing. #histscalemodels PS. Congratulations to everyone winning silverware for their models today.

After Christmas trip to fatherland i finally got to do something with my Spitfire. Tried to do some mild post-shading, but i dont really know, what im doing, imitating youtube 😀 And now im thinking, i should have maybe applied at least the big roundels first. #histscalemodels

Forgot #histscalemodels

I should have realized when i had to order new cockpit resin part, that other printed parts in the box would be also shot, pieces missing or cracked in frame. This is not what i had in mind when i heard superior detail. Closed cockpit it is then. My scratch building abilities are on lvl 1 of 100 🤡

Since the baby sleeps few meters from me and i can't use compressor to airbrush shading on my Spit, I started to build hybrid Avia S-199. Never worked with print parts, so I'm shocked how brittle they are. It took me 3 hours to clean only 5 parts. And still i managed to destroy some #histscalemodels

In jan 25 i took my 2yo daughter to aviation museum in Helsinki and brought back an Italeri starter kit of Spitfire mk.IX. And so i again picked my old hobby I've left 25 years ago up. Didn't build many nor imho really well. But I'm sure getting better and wardrobe full of kits 🙈. #histscalemodels

Finally got to painting the green. Question for discussion: when you mess something up in this stage, do you remask everythig? I did some finishing touches by free hand and it looks lot different than the rest of borders. Repair (remask all) or leave? #histscalemodels

Dark earth done and partially white tac'd. Not sure about the colour, but AK has "RAF" written on the bottle 😄 #histscalemodels

I did some silver belly. I should have stopped myself somewhere around 25% of worktime with airbrush. That's when it looked best. I found out I can't do much detail brushing with fengda airbrush without further training... still beginner. Maybe I will put yet one silver cover coat. #histscalemodels

Today I crafted very crude Williamson g.22 gun camera for 1938 Spitfire. And sawed off and glued back the tailwheel in angle. I'm proud of myself, i just need to get better in work with putty #histscalemodels

Project continues well. I've decided to turn the rudder a bit. Also if you are building earliest Spitfire with crosshair sights, remember to cut the spare filaments for optical sights out from cockpit. I didn't since i knew too little and Eduard's building plans don't cover it. #histscalemodels

Guess who ripped the sight off when taking this picture... #histscalemodels
