Hi Bryan, Thanks for the engine photos! I am missing these details from the Z-M kit exhaust. This is why looking for alternative for my kit. Best regards Gabor

Back to the Moson Show. Some more images to illustrate all sorts of aspects of the event. That miniature Sea King was fantastic in my opinion so took another photo with my hand just to illustrate the size of the kit. The weather outside was a little bit colder this time so the “Catering corner” was not so lively as last year. That “Caspian Monster” build was fantastic with a lot of internal detail all scratch built. As it turned out on Monday this kit was justifiably a Gold winner in its class. Best regards Gabor

Here are some close ups of that Annetra decal sheet for the floor of the passenger cabin in the Mi-17 helicopter. The decal has two decals with the markings. Managed to buy this set at the Moson show on last weekend. Best regards Gabor

Here are some more views of the new Clear Prop 48th scale F-86A. Nice details visible and another view of those transparent parts. Best regards Gabor

I would have been happy to go with the original plastic exhaust. Actually if comparing the Meng and the Zukei-Mura kits, there just one thing that I like in the Meng kit and that is the exhaust! They are made of several parts and so the internal details of the petals is provided, while that in the Z-M kit is fairly plain unfortunately. On other counts in my opinion the Z-M kit wins. Will see what to use. I do have several set of those stunning 3D printed gear legs. Will look at using it. Best regards Gabor

Hi Ben, Thanks for pointing in the direction! I will do something about it when the time comes. For the moment I am still at the start of the build, dealing with some details. While I don’t have the stencil decal, I did have a look at Fündekals instruction for the given stencil set and Oh boy what a great manual it is!!! Really fantastic research and background there! Only wanted to have the story end with the Moson show. The other thing I was looking for was the ResKit burner cans for the kit. Well, one of the vendors had a huge selection of ResKit pr

As anticipated it was not really possible to find any of the Fündekals at Moson 2024 Show. Have to correct myself, I was not able to find it. There were hundreds of traders and zillions of boxes full of books, decals and aftermarket parts. Simply impossible to go through it all. It is possible that the Phantom White Stencils decals were somewhere there but one would have needed a lifetime to go through everything. Missed out even on Eduard Phantom stencils which was sold out by the time I got there. OK, it is for the Tamiya kit and not exactly an F-4G set, but at least some markin

I have just seen the official awards list for Moson 2024. The 48th scale Su-27 from Yufei Mao has won Gold with very high points. Congratulations! Will share more photos of it soon. Best regards Gabor

Hi Falcon91352, Hope you are better and of course hope that next year we can meet! It is possible that you know that the Czech Annetra was the company behind the Mi-17 kit which was tooled and pressed by AMK. AMK and Sio are completely dormant in a way. : ( : ( Actually I have no idea if he is doing anything at all. In comparison to this the Boss behind Annetra is working hard to get his Mi-17 kit to as many modellers as possible with different limited versions. This time he made a Latino version that I have shown in the Helicopter section of ARC. During

So here are the black boxes on my photo. Had a little search and as mentioned before they are from Galaxy Models in 48th scale and direct 3D printed ejection seats. Well actually as far as I can tell the boxes are made by a more conventional printing technology but provide a perfect packaging for the seat. Initially the seats are inside that black box which provides a completely safe environment for them for postal transportation. The black boxes are very sturdy so there should be no problem with the content. One simply slides the seats out to one side from the black box. It is a

Additional information at Moson was that the kit will be out in June, so it is not so far away, little more than a month away. Best regards Gabor

Hi Tomcat Trebor, There are no prizes here for guessing here! : ) : ) : ) Yes, they are ejection seats in 48th scale! Background The Moson 2024 show was the first time that a fairly big delegation of 15 modellers from China arrived extended with further 5 friends from Japan. It was the first time for me to meet up in person with Yufei Mao (or you could know him also as Haneto from forums) with whom we worked together more than a decade back on G.W.H kits like the MiG-29, the Su-35 and the Su-27 family of 48th scale kits. He did bring with him his ama

I am back from the great Moson Show on this weekend. It was a lot of fun! Weather was a bit cool in comparison to previous weeks but I think it was good for the show since inside the halls the temp was acceptable, not like last year. There were a little over 3000 entries into competition and many, many thousands of visitors from everywhere! This time I did not have any of my real ejection seats on display at the show but still it was a great event! I spent a lot of time speaking to different companies, kit manufacturers, some old friends and also meeting new friends.

At the Moson show yesterday I received this brand new G.W.H 48th scale A-10C kit from a very good friend. Here are some random photos of kits details. Don’t know how much of the kit has been shown so far. Best regards Gabor
