I have a 1/32 Tornado GR1 still in the box where it’s been for about 4 years now! Need to re-arrange my ‘me’ room a bit before starting it so I have somewhere suitable for it to be once complete. 1 Alien desktop PC, Intel i7-8700 CPU@3.20GHz 6 Core, Nvidia GTX 1070, 16GB RAM.

Zeagle Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 What nice work you guys do. I have recently re-discovered plastic models. I have a goal to build the aircraft that I flew in real life as well as the ones I fly in DCS. So far, I have been ordering kits. But I will be building soon. I have experience airbrushing RC models. But the last plastic model I built was back in the 1980's. Here is my 80mm EDF L-39 that I custom airbrushed. Hopefully I can do the same in 1/48. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I’m same - modelling the aircraft I have piloted. I’ve never took up the baton with regards to RC, that’s potentially a lot of money to go bang on first flight! But some of those aircraft though - wow! Years ago I was seriously thinking about it after a friend showed me his BVM F-4, was huge! Had to be somewhere around 7 feet in length and had 2 mini turbines. Only thing that spoiled it was the aircrew figures - looked like the midget Air Force.

Mars Exulte Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) I ordered four models. The first one arrived today! It's quite awesome! Only complaint is it's not actually what I ordered! -edit Unopened cause I'm hoping to exchange it for the correct plane, still Edited September 7, 2022 by Mars Exulte 1 Де вороги, знайдуться козаки їх перемогти. 5800x3d * 3090 * 64gb * Reverb G2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars Exulte Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 (edited) Easy Model F-16 arrived today. For $30, it's actually pretty nice. Got a EM Eurofighter coming in along with two more from Calibre (Su-24 and Su-27 in Ukrainian colors). -edit I um... ordered five more today. I'm going to have make a folder now.

Keep us posted on how the others look! #4 is arriving tomorrow, and there's five more arriving within a week =D Eurofighter, F-16, F-18, Su-24, Su-27, Ka-50, Mi-8, Bf-109, P-51. I'm eyeing a couple more but am now exercising restraint until I see how much room I have left. I only have two 48'' shelves, and each of these models range from 8-12'' so I can probably fit about 6-7 per shelf. -edit Alas, the same plane misdelivered as a F-14 came to my home, attempted delivery, then reversed course and started moving away again. I'm hopeful they catch it before it's halfway across the country like last time this happened.

Seems like perfect 3D models for a Grim Reapers YT video I found these things in Tokyo while cruising around looking for good hobby shops, there are plenty of these around town. Minor skill I would say, I haven't built in a while so I figured, why not....if I jack this thing up, it already is a cartoon so.... They are not quite a snap together type and do require glue and final paint, weathering, bashing etc. I did all of the painting a modding myself. I wanted them to be somewhat obnoxious desk pieces.

Rudel_chw Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Not aircraft modelling, but I recently come across this modelling channel and was genuinely stunned .. it's a South Korean modeller that takes car building to a sublime level, it's certainly worth a look: 3 For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600X - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia GTX1070ti - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar - Oculus Rift CV1 Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
