It will feature occasional vlogs with my latest purchases, group builds and stuff like that. There will also be Tips and Tricks ("How-To"s), Kit reviews and Reveal videos.
I prefer to build in 1/72 scale, but I occasionally build things in 1/48 and 1/35. I have always been interested in aircrafts but as a casual World of Tanks player I sometimes find myself at the bench with an AFV. I'm curious about trying civilian vehicles as well.
About me: My name is Tommy Killander. I live in Sweden in a small town called Lindome south of Gothenburg. I built a lot of cheap kits when I was a child/young teenager and I got back into the hobby again in 2014, when I turned 50. I'm an active member of International Scale Modeller forum and I'm also a member of IPMS Göteborg.

Nice build for all of the hassles you had with fitment! I bought the same car to replicate my first car ever that I bought and paid for. A '71 Charger, but mine was an SE, so it didn't have all of the spoilers and striping as the RT. Also I had a flat hood on my car so I had to buy a Salvinos car that had the flat hood and intermix it with this AMT model. Yes, a lot of work to get that hood to work with this model. I'm glad I watched this video again, because I am about to put in the glass. The chassis seems to fit without the glass in, but the motor seemed to fit a little high in the engine compartment. Not sure how I will address this issue, but yeah some fitment issues with this model. The problem is, you can't know all of the fitment issues until most of the car is put together. All in all, it is coming out rather nicely, and hopefully the front glass dowel pins don't become an issue for me as well! If it does become an issue, I will pull out the Dremel as well LOL!
I have never assembled an airplane from a model kit. Only from duty free those model airline crafts like Tui Boeing 737 Max 8, EasyJet Airbus A320 and British Airways Boeing 787-9. But, if I wanted to start my model kit plane. I would choose this Russian SU-57 5th gen. plane.
Bought this kit after seeing Godzilla Minus One, but haven't started it yet. It will be totally out of box, with the exception of a seated pilot figure. I'm going to bite the bullet and re-scribe panel lines because the last kit I built that had raised lines, I didn't do that and regretted it. It's a small kit, so it shouldn't take too awful long. And because of the long, spindly landing gear, I'll do it wheels-up and put it on a display base. I was thinking of accent-burning a wooden base with a torch, then painting a rising sun flag on it.
Great. Hasegawa is to launch the updated 1/48 Shinden soon coming December to commemorate the latest Godzilla movie where the plane plays an imprtant role.
Fantastic build! Great weathering and great production video! Thanks. Since perfection seems to be your goal, I’d suggest less weathering on the Shrikes. In my experience, missiles were kept very clean (unlike the aircraft). Smudges from dirty hands maybe, but no long streaks of wash.
Excellent. A couple of quibbles ... I'd've turned the bottle around, stuck it through the plastic and had the sieve stuck to the closed end (with a big hole in it, of course.) That way, you can fill the bottle from the top without flexing the wire and the join to the sieve. That's a point of failure, I would have thought. You can make a hole quicker with a boring tool like a drilling spade or a hole saw. Heating your knife speeds things up too.
Paint work around the cockpit a bit sloppy. You should add the weathering a little bit to make it looks more realistic. But, over all, it is pretty good.
What a beautiful job mate. I wish someone would bring out a 1/32 scale of the Viggen. There is one kit done In resin but is hard to get from what I hear.
Trumpeters Sea Fury has some not easy to fix issues, as many Trumpeter model kits have. The wing shape in top view is wrong and the lower cockpit frame has a bow where the original is almost straight. I'm done with Trumpeter.
I'm really amazed at this build. I'm rather shocked it doesn't have more views and comments. The only question I have is what was the overall cost? It's always nice to provide a build list for anyone who'd like to build the same unit. Cheers, and good luck on future projects.
Seriously. All hobbying youtubers should be on your patreon, learning how to make calm, informative, relaxed videos with right camera shots. Man I loved those close ups. What camera do you use?
I wonder if you rub a blow up balloon to create static, pass it over grass, would it stand on end. As if you do it with small ripped paper, it stands on end.
Thank you for your question - My scalemodelling is on a temporary hold right now, so I haven't posted a video in over a year. But I will get back to is some day again I'm sure :)
