1:144 fever!
Posted by marcopreto on Wednesday, April 6, 2016 7:35 AM

In 2015, after seeing some beautifull models in 1:144 scale, I decided to try one myself.

The last time I had build such model was in my early teens, some 20 years ago.

After trying one, I got into a 1:144 feever and have been building them regularly, between other larger models. Here the model I've built since them:

I hope you like them as much as I've enjoyed building them.

 

Cheers

Nice! How well did those go together?  I'm assuming they have less parts? It seems like it would be fun to do some models with less parts every once in a while.

Nice!  I particularly like the X-29.  I do a lot of 1:144, but airliner models, which are a lot bigger than fighters, though I have picked up an F4.  Haven't started it yet.

That's a fantastic collection you have there.  I can't imagine painting details like that.  What a great work of art.

Very nice builds!  I've built the "Berkut" and had fun doing it.  Can't handle those small ones now.  Eyes and hands won't take it.  More power to you building that small.

Thanks you, you're all to kind!

The Rafale (from Revell) and the X-29 (from Dragon) went like a dream. They have less parts, but are not to shy in the detail!

The Mig-17 (from MarkI Models) was detailed with p.e., needing some more trimming and adjusting, but also nothing problematic.

The S-37 (from Revell) is not as detailed as the Rafale, but also went with out problems.

The Mig-31 (from revell) add some problems with parts fitting, but my main complain is the lack of acuracy of some details.

The P.1214 (the model is from Anigrand), although quite basic, was a nice experience, allowing me to try out vac-forming a new canopy. All parts fited well after a bit of trimming.

They were all great fun.

Cheers

Your modeling skills are simply astounding! I miss seeing your work in SAM; good to know you're still producing beautiful work, and to have a link to your personal site.
