In order to help sil in keeping this community stay alive, allow me to post pics of my completed models.

Go easy on me OK,:-) I'm a non-airbrush user and as my nick in SMM suggests, I'm not that good in artistic endeavours!


OK to get the ball rolling, here's my 1/72 F/A-18D Hornet

ahh..finally...thanks Hairil for the reinforcement....

this is one of your new completed model ke??

tell more la...which kit..decals..

the finish look excellent for non-airbrush painting... you must be good,,try painting figure plak la..

Aiseh lupa pulak!

It's Hasegawa's 1/72 F/A-18D Hornet. Built OOB and finished in TUDM's no 18 Skuadron markings, decals are from f4dablemodels. The Harpoon comes from Hasegawa's Weapons Set IV. This was done last year I think...

Figures? Not my cuppa la Sil.

give it a try la....your hand painting skill looks outstanding la...

figure pun kecik je...didnt take much space...hehe..the price is cheap compare to airplane...


anyway, thanks for sharing the hornet... maybe u can higlight the panel lines...

Well I did figures when I was a kid...hmmm maybe I'll give it another go!

About the panel lines...I have a weird approach to modeling. I tend to finsh primary assembly, paint, decaling and adding small parts, and then on with the next kit. I only intend to do the weathering, including highlighting the panel lines, after I have exhausted my (current) stash!

Well, here's my next model: 1/72 MiG-29N Fulcrum. Kit is from Italeri with decals a mix of VFA Productions and ScaleNutz set. I used Pavla Models K-36 resin seat (should have got the entire cockpit set from Neomega). The aerial behind the canopy is actually modified from a clothes price tag holder (I lost the original part to the carpet monster). Paint scheme looks a bit weird as I use FS 34227 rather than FS 34226 (or the special paint stocked by Unicorn Hobbies). There is one big goof however...the front landing gear mudguard is upside down!

nice MIGs.....
agains, like i said before u could do the panel lines....it give more realism...
not an expert my just my 2 cents...

it's easy....not time consuming...you can do all your ac in one session...

thanks for keeping this kakimodel alive once more

Here's my 1/72 BAe Hawk Mk108. Kit is from Italeri with decals from VFA Productions. Built OOB as usual with minor modifications. The kit 'smurfs' under the horizontal tailplane is replaced with a scratchbuilt item as the original is too small. However I neglected to thin the replacement 'smurfs' to a more scale-like appearance. The lazy bug must've bitten me that day. One of the ventral fins is made from scrap plastic sheet as I ahve lost the original to the always-lurking carpet monster.

The kit AIM-9L Sidewinders is replaced by AIM-9Js from the Hase Weapons Set. The -9Js are meant to represent -9P Sidewinders currently used by TUDM.

another nice Hawk...i see that u got all the TUDM markings....
great handbrush skills. Keep it up bro...and pls la buy la airbrush.....will do the jon a lot faster,,,,hehe

hairil, nice build, though they look a bit too 'flat' to me... i like the hawk the most... did it ever come in 1/48 scale?

Very good work for hand painting. I myself hardly ever use airbrushing since I work mainly with figs. Its good to know I have a few more non a/b kaki.

Yep...as I haven't done any highlighting and weathering yet...

About the Hawk, I think Airfix and Italeri have the plane in 1/48 scale.

Hats off to anyone doing Malaysian hardware. Bravo.

This is my Supermodel 1/72 Aermacchi MB339A. As usual, built OOB with weathering yet to be done. I forgot to putty a gap in the rear bulkhead of the cockpit, argghhhh. The front landing gear is too tall OOB and I cut it down to get a proper sit. Decals are from VFA and partly from the kit. Kit is painted using Tamiya XF60 and XF13 and GSI Gull Gray

another excellent work...
where do u get this kit?? hard to find it, betul ke??

Vernon recommended this kit when I was at his shop last year. I guess that the 1/72 Macchi is pretty rare. I have only seen them at Unicorn.

My first armor model - Tamiya's 1/35 King Tiger (Production turret). As usual, done OOB and brush-painted. I also attempted to do rain streaks which turn out to be crap, as usual, as the streaks are too big!

eh hairil.. i thought u only do aircraft ... any more afv models?




looks good man... esp the hard edge camo... niceee....

if i may point out, the tools' clasps should be painted with the hull camo colour (i.e: green if it is on a green area of the camo etc.)

Well jimbo planes are sexy..tanks are brutish..they have their own attraction.

Yep that's right Jimbo...I realise that long ago...but as usual I procrastinate!

Looking Good..... don't look like hand brushed job..
