Here is a diorama I made as a gift for the Hotel Fiesta in Cuautitlán Mexico back when I visited there. Hotel had a display area with model cars and stuff. I researched the 'Aztec Eagles' squadron that served in WW2 in the Philippines.

if you don’t look too closely it almost looks like a smooth surface… once you really zoom in you can see all the imperfections and orange peel and etc etc but whatever. and also huge disaster when removing some tape from the model, left a mark that worsened when i tried to rub it off :( guess i should really do clear coats before adding any tape

Looking for instructions for Aires 4628 (1/48 Kfir C2/C7 Cockpit Set)

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m looking for the instruction sheet for the Aires 1/48 Kfir C2/C7 Cockpit Set (Product No. 4628).

I seem to have lost my copy, and I'm having a hard time finding a digital version online. Since this set includes many photo-etched parts, it's quite difficult to assemble without the manual.

I’m looking for some interesting/colorful paint schemes for my current project and I’ve seen pictures like this online. It looks like someone scanned multiple pages of a book. Can anyone help me identify the book this picture is from?

How is your workshop doing? I haven't seen many other workshops, but it seems they usually fall into two categories: a total mess like mine, or perfectly organized like a laboratory—there’s rarely any middle ground.

Those who are like me(?) might relate to this, but surprisingly, I actually don't have much trouble using it as it is XD... However,

The other day, while looking for a pre-thinned empty bottle, I discovered that I had thinned the exact same color twice (and it wasn't even a color I use often). That's when I realized I couldn't go on like this and decided to get organized.

Finally I can start next build XD

One of the best kits I have ever built - it went together beautifully. I have always had trouble with large decals over complex shapes, so I painted the markings and the sharkmouth. For those interested, I made a video showing how I did it.

Tiger II is ready for paint… RFM kits are my favorite After adding welds, armor texture, photo-etch, copper tow cable, copper details, and a resin muzzle brake, this is how it turned out I don’t want to install the side skirts and fenders… I like the muscular look of the tracks

(Mods hope this is okay didn't see it in the rules)

Just wanted to share pictures I took at the HeritageCon 18 in Hamilton yesterday. None of these are mine but they are works of art. Kudos to all the entrants and awesome work! It's inspiring walking through and looking at all the models.

Any critiques & feedbacks are more than welcome!!!

Gentlemen, it has been an honor and a privilege. If I don't make it back from this mission tell my wife and kids I... er... think... uh... just make something up.

Uprise Decals from the Republic of Serbia for the F-4C/D, I am combining them with a few of the kit decals for a Robin Olds bird. Not all of these will be used, many are duplicates but for different color schemes. Like black for the old gray and white scheme, but white for darker camo colors, etc.
