Finally some progress on the Mil Mi-24 that I can share with you but still struggling with scratchbuilding small cockpit details, such as seat belts, inset gauges and different layers of paint. Also some additional details on the missile pods... Tons of work to do... #allaboutkits #plastimodelismo #plastickit #scalemodel #scalemodelkit #modelkit #plasticmodelkit #plasticmodel #modelista #scalemodeler #modelismo #miniature #militarymodelkits #modelmaker #modelism #modelbuilding #plastickit #scalemodeling #plasticscalemodel #aircraft #helicopter #aircraftmodel #milmi24 #zvezda (at Kraków, Poland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7f-GO8hLOT/?igshid=a1mo962buh17

Done! This is a Spitfire LF Mk.IXc, MH712, Polish 302 Squadron, from Eduard, scale 1/48. Great kit! Lots of fun! Hope the pictures are good. I don't have a photo studio so I improved a little bit 😅 #allaboutkits #plastimodelismo #plastickit #scalemodel #scalemodelkit #modelkit #plasticmodelkit #plasticmodel #modelista #scalemodeler #modelismo #scalemodelsworld #miniature #militarymodelkits #modelmaker #modelism #modelbuilding #plastickit #scalemodeling #plasticscalemodel #148scale #spitfire #warbird #ww2 #aircraft #modelairplane #aircraftmodel (at Kraków, Poland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B67vh_bBQPW/?igshid=zmq905w9t8sn

Almost done! Just need to add a little bit more weathering, specially on the decals and glue the last pieces... at the end, it's looking good 😁 #allaboutkits #plastimodelismo #plastickit #scalemodel #scalemodelkit #modelkit #plasticmodelkit #plasticmodel #modelista #scalemodeler #modelismo #scalemodelsworld #miniature #militarymodelkits #modelmaker #modelism #modelbuilding #plastickit #scalemodeling #plasticscalemodel #148scale #spitfire #warbird #ww2 #aircraft #modelairplane #aircraftmodel (at Kraków, Poland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B65I9XXBaJ0/?igshid=152w76xqgvqky

Here's my next project after the Spitfire. I choose this Zvezda Mil Mi-24 kit because all the details and possibilities to build open compartments and show off internal parts, such as engines, troops area and cockpit. It's just a great kit!! Should take some time to complete it but I like this kind of challenge! 😅 #allaboutkits #plastimodelismo #plastickit #scalemodel #scalemodelkit #modelkit #plasticmodelkit #plasticmodel #modelista #scalemodeler #modelismo #miniature #militarymodelkits #modelmaker #modelism #modelbuilding #plastickit #scalemodeling #plasticscalemodel #helicopter #aircraft #modelairplane #aircraftmodel #zvezdamodel #zvezda (at Kraków, Poland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6xlYgzB0oq/?igshid=w4shasd4y2qu

Ready for decals! So, I tried to do some weathering on the fuselage and also applied a layer of gloss varnish. Basically, the varnish will protect the weathering powder and also make the decals application easier. #allaboutkits #plastimodelismo #plastickit #scalemodel #scalemodelkit #modelkit #plasticmodelkit #plasticmodel #modelista #scalemodeler #modelismo #scalemodelsworld #miniature #militarymodelkits #modelmaker #modelism #modelbuilding #plastickit #scalemodeling #plasticscalemodel #148scale #spitfire #warbird #ww2 #aircraft #modelairplane #aircraftmodel (at Kraków, Poland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6qhc69B1xl/?igshid=1mc363crxhsrx

Moving on... once again there are a few things to fix... but that's the fun 🤣😅 #allaboutkits #plastimodelismo #plastickit #scalemodel #scalemodelkit #modelkit #plasticmodelkit #plasticmodel #modelista #scalemodeler #modelismo #scalemodelsworld #miniature #militarymodelkits #modelmaker #modelism #modelbuilding #plastickit #scalemodeling #plasticscalemodel #148scale #spitfire #warbird #ww2 #aircraft #modelairplane #aircraftmodel (at Kraków, Poland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6jjEI1BFl7/?igshid=1598q6elg78lv

Camouflage is done! A few things to fix but it looks promising! #allaboutkits #plastimodelismo #plastickit #scalemodel #scalemodelkit #modelkit #plasticmodelkit #plasticmodel #modelista #scalemodeler #modelismo #scalemodelsworld #miniature #militarymodelkits #modelmaker #modelism #modelbuilding #plastickit #scalemodeling #plasticscalemodel #148scale #spitfire #warbird #ww2 #aircraft #modelairplane #aircraftmodel (at Kraków, Poland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6MOWOCBYfH/?igshid=9xn87htvce12

At last, added some color to the Spitfire. This time, the pre-shading made some good difference and I am happy with the result!! Let's ser the next layer 😅 #allaboutkits #plastimodelismo #plastickit #scalemodel #scalemodelkit #modelkit #plasticmodelkit #plasticmodel #modelista #scalemodeler #modelismo #scalemodelsworld #miniature #militarymodelkits #modelmaker #modelism #modelbuilding #plastickit #scalemodeling #plasticscalemodel #148scale #spitfire #warbird #ww2 #aircraft #modelairplane #aircraftmodel (at Kraków, Poland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6GsW7LBP8c/?igshid=nyu3ett3592h

After applying the primer, I did some pre-shading on the panel lines and then painted the bottom of the Spitfire with the RAF sea gray color. Result is ok... i think my pre-shading lines were too thick... idk... needs improvement... 🤔 #allaboutkits #plastimodelismo #plastickit #scalemodel #scalemodelkit #modelkit #plasticmodelkit #plasticmodel #modelista #scalemodeler #modelismo #scalemodelsworld #miniature #militarymodelkits #modelmaker #modelism #modelbuilding #plastickit #scalemodeling #plasticscalemodel #148scale #spitfire #warbird #ww2 #aircraft #modelairplane #aircraftmodel (at Kraków, Poland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B53WPDxBGJP/?igshid=e1xwi12fbv0u

Fuselage is almost done now...

[en:]At this stage, when adding internal details to your model, modeler’s creativity, some skills and patience are the key for good results. In my case, I’m much more patient than skilled so my advise is always keep trying, studying, practicing and improving your skills and models.

I just would like to share an awesome work from a brazilian modeller Mario Serelle @marioserelle : these "step-by-step" booklets with several pictures and instructions of how to build a Mirage IIID and a F-14 Tomcat are just great. I just got these two and can say that they are really easy to follow and full of details and tips. No ads here, I don't receive anything for this... just sharing good practices and high quality material for us :) You can find more in www.mspublicacoes.com.br but, unfortunately, they are available in Portuguese language only. Eu apenas gostaria de compartilhar este excelente trabalho de Mario Serelle: estes dois exemplares "passo-a-passo" com várias fotos, instruções e dicas de como construir um Mirage IIID e um F-14 Tomcat. Acabei de recebê-los e posso dizer que são ótimos de ler e acompanhar e com muitos detalhes. Sem propaganda... só compartilhando boas práticas e ótimo material para o nosso hobby :) Você pode encontrar mais informações em www.mspublicacoes.com.br #plastickit #plasticmodelkit #plastimodelismo #plasticmodel #plasticmodels #scalemodel #scalemodelkit #modelkit #modelscale #modelmaking #scalemodels #modelismo #modelism #hobby #hobbies #allaboutkits #mspublicacoes #f14 #tomcat #mirageiii https://www.instagram.com/p/BsMdwM7Hl4o/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hq7hfu797ikr

Welcome to our first All About Kits Tutorial! The idea behind this tutorial is to bring information and ideas about how to build a 1/72 Curtiss P-40B Tomahawk from Academy.

This first part is about research – collecting information about the real object, in our case here, the Curtiss P-40B Tomahawk airplane. As every single project, it’s very important to spend a few hours doing a detailed…
