#histscalemodels — Public Fediverse posts

Top quality products contained here by Foxbot.com.ua In all decal issues I got very nice printed materials with colour call outs and separate images of each aircraft you can depict. 👍🏻 #HistScaleModels #ModelAircraft

Had a “Red-Letter” day here with the arrival of an order from https://plastic-models-kits.com/ (all the way from Ukraine 🇺🇦) For a few upcoming builds - Glory to Ukraine! #HistScaleModels #ModelAircraft

A evening’s progress on my T-38A Talon seats (I scrapped the full photo etch harnesses and mixed in the belts from tape keeping the PE buckles) and some finer points work on other items doesn’t seem to add up to much, but then that’s the downside of detailing #ModelAircraft #HistScaleModels

Managed only a bit of progress on my T-38A Talon this weekend which got a matte coat. Now to finish off the open pit, landing gear and finer details to get this one done. ✅ #ModelAircraft #HistScaleModels

Retro Fly Past: My RCAF 404 Sqn. Beaufighter has recently returned from Juno Beach https://www.junobeach.org/ where it was on display for a couple of years as part of their 'Rising to the Challenge' exhibit.

#HistScaleModels #ModelAircraft

Got down in the dirt for a bit of weathering on my F-4F Phantom JG74 experimental paint scheme. Wax on Wax off 👻 #ModelAircraft #HistScaleModels

Some long awaited new maintenance equipment arrived for Tha Hangar crew. We just got to assemble it and the instructions are a bit vague… so we are taking our time 🍻😎 #ModelAircraft #HistScaleModels

Got the minor paint repairs done on my T-38A Talon and moved on to the decals stage. I am liking the light markings on this one as it is a nice change up 😎 #ModelAircraft #HistScaleModels

This Weekend in The Hangar: My first builds of 2026 are now arriving at the museum. Another Skyhawk Aggressor (TA-4J), as I can't have too many of those! #HistScaleModels #ModelAircraft Check the build detail at: https://www.flypastrush.com/post/double-trouble-1-48th-hasegawa-ta-4j-skyhawk

Decided to apply a few decals last night on my F-4F Phantom II 👻 (The T-38 project got a wave off due to some required paint touch up work.) Putting these together from “The Spares Stash” 😎 #ModelAircraft #HistScaleModels

My T-38A Talon got its glossy coat on tonight in preparation for the decals and wash stages #ModelAircraft #HistScaleModels

F-4F Phantom JG74 Special Edition 👻 Progress on the metalwork and now onto the gloss stage 😎 #ModelAircraft #HistScaleModels

My T-38 Talon sporting the Gray Greens tri-colour scheme. Still lots to do, but now I can see how it’s going to look 👀 when completed #ModelAircraft #HistScaleModels

Out of the paint box now with my F-4F Phantom 👻 showing its colours. A bit of touch-up necessary, but overall pretty happy with the result. Next stage is the the re-mask for the metalwork 😎 #ModelAircraft #HistScaleModels

Back into the paint box for the final colour on this T-38 Talon. Soon to reveal what the tri-colour looks like… in the meantime a bit of a sneak peek. Best let it dry a bit more #ModelAircraft #HistScaleModels

Back in the paint box for the 3rd of 4 colour sprays (Dunkelgrün) on this F-4F Phantom 👻 Nothing but problems with the airbrush jamming about 4X forcing a strip and clean and then back at it again …Not surprised though as the day at work went like that as well 😑 #ModelAircraft #HistScaleModels

Built more hinges for the back of the platform. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

All work and no play makes @papiracky a dull boy, I barely have time to check the feed these days. I have a deadline in a few weeks, then vacations - until I get back, I might not post a lot. Then I'll be back to building, I hope.

Attached the hinges with the pegs to the back of the platform. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Built pegs for the hinges. The pegs are built from copper wires of different widths. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Built hinges for the back of the platform. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Attached the blue lights to the back of the platform. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Built blue lights for the back of the cab. The lights are again protected by a cage. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Added a hook that will be used for attaching a tow rope. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Added tail lights to the rear part of the platform. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Attached the sirens to the roof of the cab and built a protective cage for them. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Fitted the air filters to the model (the small red barrels) to the model. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Attached all parts of the exhaust pipe to the model. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Back to the plumbing beind the cab. This pipe is part of the exhaust tract. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Attached the blue and orange lights and the loudspeaker to the cab. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Completed the turn signals and attached them to the cab. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Built turn signals for the cab. Despite being ~2mm in size and round, they are made of paper. They are made by shaping the end of a paper tube that is later cut away from the round end. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Built a loudspeaker that will be mounted on the top of the cab. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

I started working on additional details for the cab exterior. Here are the sirens and blue & orange lights that will be mounted on the top of the cab. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Completed the air intake heads and added them to the cab. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Next up are small details on the cab. I'm starting with the air intake heads. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Finally attached the cab to the chassis. The joints move freely and the cab can be lifted to open access to the engine. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Added left and right covers for the chassis and the bottom of the cab. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Finally glued the floor to the cab. Now the cab is fully closed save for the roof shaft. I could close this as well, but i decided to keep it open until the end in case I need to fix something inside. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

It turned out that with the back seat on, I can't insert the floor into the cab. I had to remove the seat and glue it to the interior of the cab first. Now, fitting the floor should be a lot easier. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Attached the seats to the floor. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Built the driver and passenger seats. For some weird reason I didn't take a photo from the other side 😞 #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Built a cushion for the rear seat and a cushion and a back rests for the central front seat. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

The locomotive together with the trailer. Now that the model is completed, I'll be back to the Tarta build from next week on. #woodcraft #train #scalemodel #histscalemodels

I built the trailer for the locomotive. Will post a couple of pictures of the two together on Friday. #woodcraft #train #scalemodel #histscalemodels

I completed the cab and added all the remaining details to the locomotive, which is now complete. Next up will be the trailer. #woodcraft #train #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Made more progress on the locomotive: built the tank and started building the cab. So far, everything fits, no glue was required, and it's an interesting change from the detailed paper work. #woodcraft #train #scalemodel #histscalemodels

We interrupt the regular programming for a quick #buildthestash detour. I got it a year ago as a gift, so it's high time to do something about it 😅 It's a wooden no-glue-needed kit (some sanding needed) so it should be a quick fun build. Started by building the chassis. #woodcraft #train #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Finished the whole surface of the cab floor. Now I "just" need to add the seats and other details. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Extended the tunnel into the central part of the cab floor. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

I didn't finish any builds in 2025 but I also didn't quit, so I guess it was an OK year after all 😅
Next up is the floor and seats. It also covers the engine, this part is a tunnel that lets air flow to the engine through the front mask. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels
