#HistScaleModels #FinishedModels 95% finished Supermarine Spitfire mk.Vb from Směr. I will add few bits and details, but today daylight was just good for photo. It was a build that went way better than were my expectations of the maufacturer. For reference, it cost ~6€. A budget 70% effort fun.

#HistScaleModels #ModelKits Progress was achieved. I ran into problem of spraying top layer of sea grey too thinned. "Lapse of judgement" when thinning it (+ new thinner) and it seeped under masking tape at various places. I covered the leaks but it resulted in some uneaven surfaces.

#HistScaleModels #ScaleModels My friend chose next project for me. So between my jet escapades, I am building good old Spitfire 🔥 First impressions: it seemed that fit of wing roots and cockpit will be an issue but when i got to joining fuselage halves and wings. Yet no problem arisen

That Aeromacchi is a nice kit. I built the variation in malaysian scheme few months ago. Your is looking good already, looking forward to more of it. Len tak ďalej 🤍

#FinishedModels #HistScaleModels #ScaleModels And here is finished JAS39-D Gripen in doubleseat version. Chose czech version 🇨🇿, partly because its prominent tail art. Partly because czechs are our good neighbours🤍 My only regret is that i mixed main gray too dark (that color was in instructions)

#HistScaleModels #FinishedModels #ScaleModels Mig-29 finished. Really pleased how it turned out. The effort with aftermarket decals was well worth, since I couldnt find any kit that had slovak air force markings included and i really wanted to have kit of these beauties who guarded our skies 🇸🇰

#HistScaleModels #ShipModels Why did i do this to myself. I know ships are pain. So why did i print this 1:700 IJN Shimakaze kit??? anyhow, guess i see if my patience and skill prevail. Rn im working on making wooden parts of deck look like there are planks of subtly different colors

#ScaleModels #HistScaleModels Progress on the gripen. Turns out i made the blue-ish grey tad too dark so the roundels are blending in a bit. Good thing the tail art is so eye catching 🙃

#FinishedModels #Helldivers2 Dipped into 3D printed kits again and chose Eagle-1 by Nakozen from printables. A jet from @helldivers2.bsky.social, a game i enjoy returning to. Took it for a spin, glued, painted, mottled, and decaled (using spares). And the result is quite nice, yes?

#HistScaleModels #ScaleModels Bit of a break but now transfers had been added on mig-29. Aftermarket set was from Kora details, even though they look okay now, i wont get them again. Had to cut along the edges of decal to make the film managable Also setting solution made one decal "crack"

#HistScaleModels #ScaleModels Double-seat Gripen from Italeri is also on bench. It was fine build, no problems surfaced so far. Varnished it and also Mig with airbrush for the first time succesfully. Until now I used to varnish with handbrush. Decal time <3

#HistScaleModels #ScaleModels Its shaping up to be beauty. Mig-29 my beloved 🥰 I will need to weight it a bit more. Taped the weighted nose to it to test where is center of gravity and it might need some more weight

#HistScaleModels #ScaleModels New day, new kit on the bench

Only 1/72. And it still occupied like a quarter of a shelf alone. (Everything in picture is 1/72)

#HistScaleModels #scalemodels Yesterday I also finished this monster of a plane. No clue why i thought SU-47 would be about as big as Mig-29. Its bigger than Mig-31 >.< RIP my shelf space. Also since it is rather big, i had quite a struggle trying to make photos of reasonable quality

#HistScaleModels L-29 Delfín. A jet trainer that won comparative trials of Warsaw Pact countries against soviet Jak-30 and polish TS-11 Iskra. After, it was selected to become standard jet trainer for the air forces of Warsaw pact. Manufactured by Czechoslovak aviation manufacturer Aero Vodochody.

Okay, taped the decals and resprayed it with thin coat of color. Time to redeem my error #HistScaleModels

ifylas.bsky.social @ifylas.bsky.social · 11/07/2026
Disaster struck. Tried to apply varnish coat of a new bottle from Tamiya. It was poorly thinned, tried to act quickly and lessen damadge... but too little. x.x

Side project to relax while finishing L-29. Behold Berkut Su-47 has been painted to its final form #histscalemodels

#HistScaleModels Dolphin main colors and transfers are done. There were some mistakes of mine but so far its pleasant kit to build. (L-29 Delfín in 1/72 from Eduard - Slovak International fighter pilots academy) Considering getting KP version, for other slovak scheme 🇸🇰

ifylas.bsky.social @ifylas.bsky.social · 25/06/2026
#HistScaleModels Main colors on L-29 mostly done. I almost undone all my progress with poorly thinned fuselage color, but it worked in the end. Also a new kit entered my bench, to give me something simpler to work on.

#HistScaleModels Tape peeled off, here you can see white and blue areas nicely. Today ill tape them over and focus on red areas. So far im really pleased with it

ifylas.bsky.social @ifylas.bsky.social · 19/06/2026
#HistScaleModels Update on progress. White went on reasonably well (acrylic colors from Atom are really good). And now masked some more and did blue areas. Next one will be red areas and then fuselage second coat with light ghost grey + black anti-glare nose area

#HistScaleModels Off to paint wings and elevator (kept it as separate part so far) the color i dread working with most. White >.< Wish me luck

#HistScaleModels Cockpit done. Sanity barely preserved😅 Will attempt to weight the nose down a bit more. Right now its 3 lead 4,5mm pellets.

#HistScaleModels And wrapping up the Aeromacchi MB-339AM in Malaysian service (in 1/72 from Kovozávody Prostějov). Even tho the kit wasnt the most polished and snug fitting, I dare say it did end up as a nice addition to my growing collection of jet trainers. 🫡

Few last bits added and ... voilá. Mig-19S in 1/72 scale from Směr. First ever model that I made in flying pose. It was budget, sometimes hilariously clumsy kit. But I found it great fun to make. #HistScaleModels

Aeromacchi MB-339 in Malaysian service. And Mig-19 in soviet era Bulgarian service. Now just peeling off the masking tape and adding landing gear for MB-339 and pitot tube + stand for Mig. #HistScaleModels

ifylas.bsky.social @ifylas.bsky.social · 12/05/2026
Mig and Aeromacchi main paint schemes done. Time to varnish and decal/transfer. *and some more small bits Managed to make neater airbrush transitions by using less thinned paint combined with less pressure. (I dont have neat airbrush nozzle so improvisation was the mood) #HistScaleModels
1271
ifylas.bsky.social @ifylas.bsky.social · 09/05/2026
Not super happy with my work on MB-339. Tried to do neater lines by airbrush. (freehand) I may try to mix the light brown again and respray the areas. Mig, once again. Not the neatest job, but the camo consists of thinner patterns and somehow i managed to make the lines neater-ish? #HistScaleModels

ifylas.bsky.social @ifylas.bsky.social · 08/05/2026
Canopies masked and base layers of paint applied. So far so good. #HistScaleModels

ifylas.bsky.social @ifylas.bsky.social · 07/05/2026
Worked a bit on MB-339. Sanded a bit the seams, and painted the underside, but couldnt get myself to mask the canopy, so no upper side painting yet. But I got myself a new cheap guilty pleasure Směr Mig-19 kit. Its scuffed af and I found it weirdly enjoyable in how "shitty" it is #histscalemodels😅🙃
0203
ifylas.bsky.social @ifylas.bsky.social · 26/04/2026
General assembly done, after reviewing the photos, i decided to do some more of "fine" sanding. Fuselage bottom had a ugly gap (filled). Rudder had not great fit. Wings had troublesome fit. And elevators just didt fit into the guiding slots so i cut the guide things and glued it. 🙃 #histscalemodels

ifylas.bsky.social @ifylas.bsky.social · 24/04/2026
Stuck my fingers into new kit. Done some base work on interior 🥰 109 is basically done, but I had the itch to start this, and so here we are. It is 1/72 scale kit from KP (Kovozávody Prostějov). Usually their kits pose some difficulties but suurely this one will break the curse 😇 #histscalemodels

ifylas.bsky.social @ifylas.bsky.social · 23/04/2026
Trying this site again. Current work on BF-109 of Slovak squadron in 1/72. By AZ models. Last thing i did was adding some stencils, decals, mottling and some metallic elements. #JFFScaleModels #scalemodel #modelbuilding (are any JFF modellers here?)

Applied transfers to Iskra and varnish coated the Rafale. Took pictures of both in daylight and must say I'm quite happy so far.
2212
ifylas.bsky.social @ifylas.bsky.social · 24/10/2025
Rafale is shaping up. Applied larger visible transfers (70-80%). Time to seal the de(c)al with varnish :D and ofc then gear and weapons

ifylas.bsky.social @ifylas.bsky.social · 14/10/2025
First paint coat... revealed few fit issues that went unnoticed before. Time to polish seams bit more and second layer it o7

Final version of my attempt of Fouga CM170 Magister, first ever purpose designed jet trainer plane in the world, used by Belgian Air Component. Model kit from Airfix in 1/72 scale. I am very happy how it turned out, I practiced new techniques on it, photos dont do it justice.

Finalized spitfire mk.VIII of RAAF. Stationed on dry Australian grassy airfield (or what I imagine it might look like). Loved working on this one.
