Sophisticated and most inspiring scrathcbuilding

Frankly speaking, I'm quite lazy when building my models. But I try 
not to build them OOB (out-of-box). 
The modelers I admire the most are those who put their soul and 
skills in the models they build. 
I just love wathcing those step-by-step scratchbuilding process pics. 

I just wanted to share the link to the in-progress article of Tom Morgan on WW1 Modeling website. Check Tom's Nieuport 28 article here.

Some Focke-Wolf detail pics

I kow it's not quite logical to post pics of almost ready model and 
then post pics of in-progress pics, but I wanted to show these details anyway. 
Hope you'll like them.

This is the way FW-190A-4 cockpit looks like. I had overdone belts weathering. I'm not going to repeat this way of weathering anymore =]

 The photos above show tail section in different stages of scratchbuilding the tail antenna tip. I had to make it myself as Tamiya produces A-3 modification, not the A-4 I build.

By the way, any idea of whether Blogspot allow posting Nazi symbols like swastika? I wanted to post a FW-190A-4 color profile, but then realised it features swastika? May be I should reedit the profile?

Ni-17 in Russian service

Here you can find closer pics of 1/48 Eduard's Nieuport 17 in Russian service kit.

Some Ni-17 pictures

 

Ni-17 engine section modificatin

Eduard's Ni-17 1/48 kit has flaw I wanted to correct - too narrow engine cowling.
That's why I've made a cut in the cowling and added some 2 mm of plastic, which increased the part's diametre.

I still need to rebuilt it's normal shape, but I'm glad anyway.

Nieuport 17 tail section

This photo shows modified Ni-17 modified tail section. 

I thought it would give the whole model more realistic look. 

1/48 Eduard's Nieuport Ni-17

These are pics of 1/48 Eduard's Nieuport Ni-17 in Russian Service. They've been made some year ago as I stucked with engine problem. The thing is that Eduard gives completelly wrong instruction on engine mounting position. It should be mounted in counter wise way. Apart from that, engine exhaust pipes are very far from the original. That's why I'll get Vector 1/48 Le Rhone 100 -160Hp for this model. I hope I'll get it soon.

Bf-109G-6
