I have said it before. These guys from The Czech republic play to win.....that Mil is certainly a winner.
Which competition are we talking about?

Okay, very impressive and clean but what is driving me nuts is how did you do such a perfect job on the aerial lines in 1:72?   Please tell us your technique and materials used.

Wow. !
I didn't used any special procedure.On Surfacer 1000 i made preshading by black colour and over it I sprayed camouflage colours.I use light blue on lower surfaces and on the upper surfaces I first used brown colour for leaves and rest of surface I sprayed by sand colour (light brown).Borders of areas I spray with removed difusor.Next I made lightening of colours by light grey and repeated spray of areas by former colours.All is sprayed from hand by airbrush Iwata Eclipse HP-BS by Agama acrylic colour.Under decal I spray gloss lacquer, apply decals and conserve decals by gloss lacquer repeately.Next was complete kit sprayed by matt lacquer, by very diluted black colour I damped decals and apply wash by black watercolor.Repeated spray by matt lacquer and final spray by semi-matt lacquer.Smokes are sprayed by very diluted black colour.And that is all.

Thanks but how did you do those thread-like lines (radio aerial cables?).
Styrene in my blood and an impressive void in my cranium.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

It is a figure of speech.....a compliment......I imagine he means....no compromise,if you do something then its the best/1st place and only that will do....I think thats a reasonable explanation......I'm still waiting for one in the post from just before Xmas....prob delayed by the light smattering of snow as well.....

I always hope for the best.

experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Amazing  :wub: Really neat seeing the two models side by side as well. You can see the evolution of the Hind  :thumbsup:
