Looking forward, eagerly, to that.

There are many Toy Shops who have Academy / Airfix Kits. Look around for them. I know for certain that they are available in New Del/Kolkata.

Thanks alot sir.....

Respected Modellers.. i am also a modeller, not only in Rc but also in static..i started making models from my child hood..and most of them were not serious..but it came serious as i grown..and was making all scaled models, using handy things..later i mastered making models with drawing paper and any materials that can use..i turned in to real aircraft, in real scale, after watching some programmes in TV show, and it was boosted by the channels NGC and Discovery..it was a lightning strike..and after that, to me finding a scaled model, or finding even some datas and drwings about fighters and others are mere dreams..but, once, i met a very tallented Officer, at HAL, as part of my project submission, was Sreedhar Sir, who opened to me a new way, to collect ample of books regarding the fighter, bomber and all other aircrafts..it was a new beginning to me..so, i have the scale and detailed drawing..so, i spend about a money, that with that money, i can buy a brand new sedan, in the mean time..but still all books as a valuable assets to me..still i was very unable to make models, because of the complicated structure of fuse and others..

but i mastered this also by making paper pulps and once, i got a real structural drawing from a company, of a radome..it was a clear insight to me, as how to make a radome, from a flat sheet of paper..so, i started making models in serious..all in perfect scale..but, i always adds one of my touch, as its all my own scratch builds..so, here is my Osprey, the VTOL..ever..once i got an oppertunity, to add a display of my scaled models in all segments, in REC, Calicut, now NIT, and after few hours, an elder person came to my display room, and asked me, from where you buy these all..i answered, that most of the models are hand made..suddenly, he turned me, and atarted shouting me, using wrong words to me..to him, making such models from paper and handy things were impossible..and he and some of his Colleagues considered as my models as all chinese, and painted it all by me..because, canopy, and complicated shapes are imposible to make with hands to him..so sad..bad gudgement..and Pradeep, the final year mechanical student, who gave me the oppertunity to me to display my models there, came on scene, and convinced him, as he is my neibhour..the shouted person was a teacher belongs to the institute..!!! so, this is my Osprey,scaled in 1:48th, and finished all in paper and handy things..the engine housing is 100% paper..

the Teacher, who shouted me, later apologized me..but i lost one of my ever loved model of Bristol Beau, as i plucked it in front of him..the bubbly canopy was the impossible item, to him, that to make by hands..
here my DR1..all paper..ball point pen refills, alumnum sheets..all

again..all hand built..scale 1:48th..the vampire last version..
and Mig 15..all papers..

Wrights flyer..and IAF Iskra..1:48 th scale..

beech V tail..Dewoitine of ww 1..all paper..

scale modeling means is not mere making of fighter and bomber planes..it must be in all segments..
here is the Bicycle, brought me a price of best modeling, to avoid pollution, is this green man machine, is the bicycle..it scaled in 1:12 th, and made of paper, ball point refil, bangles from my Daughter, for wheels, bicycle spokes, wires, paper pins..
and a FLAK gun from WW2..all paper, and drinking straw..

and a lttle honey tank here..made of paper..by years, i completed more than 2000, scaled models all from scratch..mostly, with paper..and the biggest airctafts were the Mig 29, and F35..in to 7 feet long..all paper..and its all easy to make any scaled models from scratch..making models from scratch is devine and more challenging than kit building..its 1000% satisfying than kit building..kit building is straight foreward, as, slice it, clean it, glue it and paint it, and some time, paint it and glue it..its all the simplest..but after 2000, i accidently came to know about a person, who sells the scaled model kits of war planes..so, i tied up with him,..and started making models from kit, along with my scratch building..i hope, i am one of the most fortunate person, as a modeller, because i got more than 120 kits, in to all scales, from all maufactures from world, for a scrap price..then i started making deals with Academy Minicraft, and one of my friend gave me a best link to get models from Academy..

two more models from scratch..all 100% paper again..
Grumman intruder, RT version..
and First Jet..Me..

up to now, its all scratch built..now from kits..one of the ever favourite kit to me is Academy..then Italeri, Hasegawa, Dragon, Zwezda, Trumpetter, Tamiya, and Airfix..Academy kits is value for money..and less priced..recently, i saw a posting about a scale model kits, priced as 2 times greater than avilable..in market..while, all are available in Bangaluru, for reasonable price..
here from 1:44 th scale..my coolection of models in 1:44 alone spans in more than 120 models..and still many waiting to complete..
Zero and Spitfire..
and Jaguar..

now..1:72..scale..the A10..from Academy Kit..and Cataline..again from Academy kit..13 years old..

Is that a Spitfire or a Typhoon/Tempest? The air intake looks too big for a Spit. They did have clipped wing Photo Recce versions of the Spit, but that huge air intake and tail is a giveaway...............

And please give the Cat a Starboard prop IMMEDIATELY!

With your expertise, you can make it in 2 minutes!

F 16s..from Italeri..

Sorry Sir,i typed it accidently..its a Tempest..thanks for correction..

F 18..from Italeri..custom painted..as a part of display i assebled 8 of them, as various..
Broncho..from Academy..all 1:72..

TBF Avenger of US Navy of WW2..
Foke..one of the super fighter of the time..

Sure Sir, and the fallen prop and tanks are kept..now, i am reworking on my finished models, as i am willing to go for a huge display at Calicut town coming year..its a sponsored programme, by our science park..so, painstakingly reworking on all..i have to display 300+ models there..

one of the favourite aircraft to me, is Corsairs and P47 Jugs..
and both from Academy..in 1:72..
