A bit of a self-praise

What can I say, award from contest like MMS (http://www.mosonshow.hu/) always feels great.

Boeing 747-8 Zvezda 1/144

Great news! Huge airliner model kit and it's newly tooled. Zvezda continues to use Boeing's licence and releases the latest civilian jet produced by US manufacturer - the future Jumbo, Boeing 747-8.
Those of you already having seven-four-seven in 1/144 scale from Revell or Airfix are aware of its size. The box is really big, has to house over 150 parts to build 53cm long model.

Volvo 850 - Tamiya 1/24

Got lucky this time. I had no idea that such kit exists, found it on ebay while searching for some Volvo spare parts. Being passionate for Swedish car manufacturer I couldn't resist for too long and entered the auction. Won it (55USD + shipping) and a week later the box reached my workbench.

Modeling Scissors for photo-etched parts

Last time I visited LHS, got this neat pair of scissors recommended for removing photo-etched parts from supporting trees. Since my very first contact with PE parts I have been using sharp blade to cut it away. Besides destroying the blade itself over the time there is unwanted parts bending side-effect in many cases. Based on the description, this is avoided when using Tamiya Modeling Scissors for photo-etched parts.
