SPA Modeler

On December the 31st I finished Heller's Nieuport-Delage Ni-D 622 in 1/72 scale. Just in time to participate on the yearly competition at Flugzeugforum.de Topic for 2021 were aircraft from France. https://i.postimg.cc/gcTCPcz8/IMG-20211231-164348.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/mkJJ3jX8/IMG-20211231-164932...

I am following and I am excited if you will be able to meet your own schedule. My suggestion is not to research too much and to focus on the things which are in the box. The result won't disappoint you.
I know you like the 190 and Christmas is close. (Mystery mode off...)

Yes it is Kari. Last time I was there was probably 30 years ago. But it is great. Really. Shannon Aviation Museum was on our vacation trip through Ireland.

At Shannon Aviation Museum it seemed to me there were no movable cone-parts. The difficult part of the upcoming 3d modeling is that I have only references without any dimensions. Nevertheless the printout needs to match the kit dimensions. Such works are always difficult because even correct dimensi...

Cool looking airplane - I think I built one when I was a kid. Always thought the tanks on top of the wing made it unique. Those are some bright yellow wings :wow: Actually I don't see a reason to inject the wings in yellow plastic, why didn't they use green, then it would have supported the camoufl...

Nevertheless I started to assemble the first pieces like the wings. When I look back and remember the prices for Matchbox kits back in 1981 or 82 when I have started with model kits it seems to be unreal. 5.95 DM for a kit of the orange line. That's 3 Dollars today or 3 Euros. For such a large model...

Well, the nose cone and intake: Picture it on your own when you compare the kit-solution to the original design (took the photos at Shannon Aviation Museum, Ireland): pictures to follow... https://i.postimg.cc/257BHGX3/IMG-20211016-113215-1.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/3Rr0zGP1/IMG-20211016-113229.jpg h...

Hi guys, I am participating with a English Electric Lightning by Matchbox in 1/72 scale as I haven't done a Lightning ever before. The ki itself has raised panels, which isn't a big issue as it was a common practice for kits of that time. And hey, it is Matchbox, my favorite brand. https://i.postimg...

I would like to participate with that one:

Thanks Bruce. I printed 8, you will get 4. https://i.postimg.cc/CLv4XzPK/oil-cooler-1-2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/RVCRgcT8/oil-cooler-2-2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/VkdF8mpW/oil-cooler-3-2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/vBznnNCm/IMG-20210917-155016-edit-1749516528758043.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/bNdnGLgz/IMG-...
