Some cool builds for your Christmas and New Year

Found some really great in-progress forum posts that will keep your "modelling fever" temperature high during holidays :)

The first one is from agiosdimitrios from theaerodrome.com WW1 aircraft modelling forum. It's particulary interesting because of some really great in-progress pics of how to build WW1 aircraft spoked wheels. This forum post also features some great photo manual of rigging.

Another one is 1/32 F-4D Phantom build by Daniel Zamarbide called "Midnight Cowboy" in 6 parts:

As usual for Daniel all his builds come as small tutorials where you can always learn something new. Highly recommended! ;)

1/32 F-15c

Found great video about super detailed 1/32 F-15c Eagle. That's really astonishing example of super detailing!

WW1 and WW2 photos

One of the fellow WW1 and WW2 aviation from Russia have published his collection of the pics found on eBay. There're many photo scans of German, French, Russian, British, American aircrafts during the both conflicts. Some really interesting examples. Recommended!

Tamiya Zero A6M5

One of my favorite modelling masters Jun Temma translated his building feature article from Japanese to Engish. So now you can also see some interesting in-progress tips and advices on building Tamiya's Mitsubishi A6M5/5a Zero.
Mr. Temma shares some very well investigated geometry issues of both Hasegawa's and Tamiya's kits.

Mi-2 Weathering

Couple of days ago found great photo showing some signs of heavy weathering. For all heavy weathered warbirds' fans.

This is Russian Mi-24 Hind

Russian Helicopters

After the long period of silence, I'm finally back with some stuff for you.

Anyway, here're some photos for all your helicopter fans. These were taken in the Museum of Helicopters in Torzhok (Russia). What I also like about these photos is that it's possible to see some decent sign of weathering - that you also apply on your models. Here're some of the pics that link to page with the photos. Enjoy:
