That's a great way to always have space for just one more in your evolving collection 👍 Your friends and their children most be pleased as punch to have such lovely momentos of their visits. I bet your generosity is kick-starting new modellers' hobies 🙂👍

Great idea to have built models on hand as giveaways, to infect a new generation 😄 👍
23 October 2021, 22:08

I just started modeling in January 2021 and am enjoying how the more models you complete the less precious each becomes which permits more experimentation and play.
24 October 2021, 02:34

Thank you all, Mates, for your kind words.
@Bruce: In fact, one of these boys now assembles Zvezda 1/100 snap-fit tanks himself, and is eager to try more complex kits 🙂
24 October 2021, 10:04

Very cool. Love these kits too. Let me guess why my Komet is the same set and 'camo'? 😉
24 October 2021, 11:28

Also good job getting the kids interested, we need more modelers. Can anyone remember those days of innocence when this was mainly a kids hobby, and you would get a new kit with your allowance, and build the kit in a weekend, and not a bunch of middle aged men spending hundreds of dollars, and weeks and months just building one kit

I can certainly remember trying to clean enamel paint off a cheap brush, on newspaper, and having no idea that thinners or brush cleaner even existed! So many memories of every single kit built 🙂👍
24 October 2021, 15:47

@Mike and Bruce - that's why from time to time I just need to assemble some kit not taking care about (too much) detailing and weathering, etc. 😉
24 October 2021, 17:12

Nice build, Robert. A good replica of that yellow wing flyer. Cheers!
24 October 2021, 17:26

Your 'easy ones' build collection is kind like what I am doing with low-cost 1:72 kits to try out different techniques. Most of your builds are on my agenda. 👍
24 October 2021, 17:41

... and kudos for the latest addition, that lovely (and a personal favorite of mine) SG-38/Eton... 👍 👍 😉

I am happy you like it, Mates. Thank you for your kind words!

Such a pleasure to look through your beautifully presented album, Robert.

This glider is especially important to me because it reminds me of my childhood when my father made a flying version of it. You've done a very good job with it.
10 May 2023, 16:37

I heartily endorse this approach!...what a good way to have a diversion and some experimentation...we scientists do it all the time, and it should be applicable to model making!
Excellent standards too!- despite the fact they're 'shake and bakes'...
27 July 2023, 09:06

A very nice collection with a building philosophy that inspires.
Great work!
28 July 2023, 09:45

REally nice Leo!! Good work Robert!
How was the assembly and quality of the kit?
I plan to do the same, only in the version of the Austrian Armed Forces;)
28 July 2023, 14:23

Thank you, Simon, I feel honoured by your praise 🙂 The kit is simplicity itself, can be assembled in no time. Fit is just perfect - it is almost a snap-fit kit.
28 July 2023, 15:59

A really beautiful collection! You reminded me my childhood, when me and my uncle visited his good friend, he always had a nice little gift to give me. He was mainly worked with matchbox 1:76 kits. Thanks for sharing!
30 July 2023, 07:54

Stunning presentation on the A5M. You've done the old workhorse proud.
6 October 2023, 18:18

Nice collection of tryouts Robert, I had somehow missed this album before?
28 October 2023, 12:16

Thanks, Jan 🙂 I just upload here photos of the newly finished kit from time to time...
28 October 2023, 12:40

Thanks, Łukasz, much appreciated 😉 Generally, printing is quite good - no visible layers and the level of detail is awesome (due to this I lost the tiny rear-view mirror to my carpet monster at the stage of removing the technological supports - I just did not notice it... On the other hand, a few technological supports touch the sides of the cabin - you can easily spot their remains - practically impossible to remove for me. Also the tarpaulin supports and benches are printed together in situ, what makes cleaning the whole compartment a bit difficult. (Of course, one could substitute these supports with pieces of wire... 😉 ). Tracks, wheels and their supports are printed as whole units as well. No transparencies, no decals, of course... Recommended! 😉

"mirror mirror on the wall...what the heck has gone 😉"
24 November 2023, 14:20

hey Robert, very nice compilation and there are also a few really rarely seen models.
I also saw the trouble with the decals on the beautiful Buffalo.
I'm excited to see what else ends up on your table👍
17 March 2024, 15:14

Thank you, Kyriakos! You've inspired me to finish the MiG-15 in USAF markings 😉
17 March 2024, 20:33

Very nice inspirational collection. I enjoy browsing through the album. 👍👍
The model in photo 21 and 22, is this a Peugeot Char 1918 37mm tank in 1/72 scale ?
15 April 2024, 08:38

Thank you, Bohrmann, much appreciated. Yes, it is Peugeot Char (3d printed kit from Polish company: Peugeot Char 1918 37mm (Play..hnology) IDA-PMI0139B, 1:72))
15 April 2024, 14:01

It is a "Box scale" item, Łukasz 😉 No info on the box - some Mates here described it as 1:144 scale model...
11 June 2024, 11:21

Thank you, Alec. I am not the fan of the story, but I needed to build something quick & easy...
11 June 2024, 16:38

Nice! I really like the Naleszkiewicz JN-1 tailless glider.
(Yes, I did have to look in your 'completed kits' to find out what it is. 😳 )
6 December 2024, 11:56

Thank you, Gorby! (I suppose most of modellers from Poland would not know it either 😉 )
6 December 2024, 12:39

that is certainly a unique model... i am sure gorby is already thinking about getting one already 😉
6 December 2024, 13:05

Thank you all, Mates, for your kind words, I feel honoured 🙂
@Łukasz - on the one hand, this is quite a well-designed and detailed kit, and you even get pre-cut masks for the cabin transparencies. On the other hand - the whole cabin/fuselage part is made of transparent plastic, what makes fitting and glueing the interior parts a bit troublesome. Joining both halves together is tricky too, as the glue must be strong (and there is a risk of fogging when you use a CA glue). Decals have extensive carrier film, are very thin, and grab the surface immediately with almost no chance to correct the placement. Final verdict: recommended 😄
6 December 2024, 13:43

Thank you, JJ and Alec 🙂 @Alec - actually it was the main reason why there existed only a prototype of this glider 😉
6 December 2024, 16:10

Thumbs up for the new (glider) addition... It just HAD to be a part of your collection! 👍 👍
6 December 2024, 22:00

Thank you, Alex! (You know me better than I do myself 😉 )
7 December 2024, 08:26

With another background the glider in pic 58 would look real! Clean work 👍
1 11 December 2024, 10:56

Thank you very much, Bughunter! You are too kind to me.
11 December 2024, 17:39

Now, dear Robert, after your latest glider... wouldn't it be great to follow up with this kit (that, not surprisingly, seems to be in your stash)? - Armstrong-Whitworth AW-52 (MikroMir 72-016, 1:72)
1 12 December 2024, 02:55

Thanks for your suggestion, Alex (and kind words 🙂 )... So many models, so little time... Yes, I have this kit on my shelf 😉
12 December 2024, 06:24

In the meantime I've assembled a wee Albatros in unusual livery. I hope you'll like it 😉
9 February, 16:15

Wow, that's tiny 😮 Never understood the idea behind this fake USAF Albatrosses (or aren't they fake?)
9 February, 16:41

As far as I know, this one was really tested by USAF at Edwards:

9 February, 17:08

This is perhaps the only Eastern-Europe developed warplane tested by USAF that was not the spoil of war (or a defector's plane)...
