More sub collections - Aircraft of World War II

diamant · 07-23-2009, 10:18 AM

Hello to all

Here is short introduction, about our self. My father, Raul Hrubisko, began modelling at the age of 14. His interest, lake many other modellers', was sparked by an imaginative book, a wartime story involving the Mosquito. Soon followed the interest for the airplane and then for modelling. Our aim is to model all the aircraft types that flew with the Royal Air Force, the Fleet Air Arm and all the Commonwealth in the time frame between 1934 and 1947, in all major versions. And to include also Lend-Lease and captured enemy types.

In order to give you an better idea about my father’s work (now mine too), please find the following articles published in IPMS Stockholm magazine regarding our previous sub collections.

So YOU'RE the people who did the FAA Lend-Lease! I had seen that before, and had begun to suspect it may have been you. Great work!

Cheers

I had seen your tailess and canard collection before, and the early jets collection, we really do attract some top talent to this site!

W-------O-------W!!!!!!! That's incredible!!!!

vikingBerserker · 07-29-2009, 01:00 AM

That is really just fricken amazing!!

Beautiful work Santiago! What great collections!!!!

I'd be very interested in a description of your resin casting technique as I want to learn to do that.
Also in your Spitfire PR.19 build - I'm going to converting one from various kits shortly.

Cheers! Evan

Ive just started doing models I'll have to speed up
super stuff guys

diamant · 07-29-2009, 10:15 AM

Many thanks for your kindly words.

We have many series / subcollection done so far but they are even more to do. We estimate that the final number will be around 1.500 models and we only have 424 done up to day plus 133 which will be rebuild (were made many years ago without our current standar).

Evan, I will try to make a summary for you.

Kind regards
Santiago

A4K · 07-29-2009, 10:25 AM

Hudson MkIII · 07-30-2009, 12:19 AM

Wayne Little · 07-30-2009, 08:34 AM

Lot of time and effort gone into that lot....well done to both of you!
