It is great and the customer service is really really good to! Tell them KitMaker featured it please. Practice on some sprue trees to hone your skills. The variable speeds determine the amount of torched down on each part, hence the practice needed. Thanks for the comment and enjoy.

This week’s ‘Scale Hobbyist’ haul…

My local auction site has cost me a freaking fortune just recently! I keep finding kits at really incredible prices, one of which has just materialized on my doorstep, behold the mighty Dewoitine D.510J in 1/32nd scale by Dora Wings (Go Ukraine)! Normally retailed here for $146.95 NZD and I got it for $43.24 including freight. I hit the buy now button without really thinking about it. And it’s in a subject matter that I don’t really get invested in but the price was just too good not to indulge! Also included in that recent splurge were Italeri’s 1/48 Cr42 Falco and Fine molds 1/48 Mg15 (IJN Type 1IJA type 98) both for a quarter of the retail price.

good catch!

@Basco Thanks, Phil! It was totally unexpected but very gratefully received! For some reason, the D.510J in Japanese markings piqued my odd subject receptors. LOL, and the scale was also a major factor, as well as the kit maker. I’ve wanted to build a Dora Wings kit since I saw them come on to the market.

:beer: :v: ooo La La, new beasts … :star_struck:



P.S I don’t know where this it will go as an AFV modeler while i can afford it in hyperinflation of Turkey :confused:

These scribers are great!! I got the black one, I think it’s called narrow. Used it on my Jill build. Made really nice thin panel lines

Added the AMK Mig-31.

I’ve waffled on this kit for about 2 years, I love the Mig-25 and Mig-31, but I was a bit turned off by the price and more so the absolutely monster this is in 1/48. Sprue bros 20% off deal pushed me over the edge and boy am I glad I pulled the trigger. First off it is the most exquisitely packed kit I’ve ever seen


The surface detail is outstanding and the engineering really nice. Slide molds for the cockpit housing and nose cone. Smart engineering of the air intakes to greatly reduce seams!

Great kit,goes together nicely,get the metel landing gear they offer,its a heavy plane for the plastic gear.

I’m looking forward to it. It looks fantastic. I might do it after my upcoming CF-188 build! Thanks for the tip on the landing gear! I think I’ll pick them up

That was quick! Ordered on Monday, shipped on Wednesday and arrived today from Bohemia. Thank you Eduard! :slightly_smiling_face:

Nice !

I’ve been looking at the “Ultimate Tempest” kit for some time now , and after I got the Midway F4F’s and seen the quality of them , guess it’s time to pull the trigger .

It’s one of the best kits I built so far. it was just a joy to put it together.
