DN Models

An overview of MiG-21s generations. Often those are confused and to the three original generations there are more added. Here's a video that will try and explain why there are only three and which one is which. This video can be easily extended into several hours, but this is the shortest way to explain MiG-21 generations.

This is the first part of the Building, Painting and Weathering video dedicated to Tristar/HobbyBoss Sturmpanzer Brummbar Sd.Kfz.166 in 35th scale. The video includes the most of the procedures of the building, some fixes and painting. The finishing touches can be seen in part II. The kit is not at the required level for the second decade of 21st century, but with some minor improvements it is acceptable. Some demo of the disc camouflage paint masks can be seen in this part.

This is a quick review of Procon Boy FWA Platinum Dual Action Airbrush. This Japanese Airbrush is one of the best out there, especially considering the price. Mr.Hobby and Gunze Sangyo are famous among modelers and it is always nice to see such companies expanding and providing all the tools you need for your modeling career. Mr.Hobby Airbrushes are not as pricy as Iwata, but they are very close in performance, which makes them a tempting option.

Border Model Black Flame Ver. 2.0 Dual-Action Airbrush Review This is a nice and relatively cheap airbrush made by Border Model. They are relatively new company who are gaining speed on the modeling market primarily with their armor models in 35th scale. Border Model have a nice range of modeling tools as well. This airbrush is black coated and is comparable with Sparmax airbrushes in terms of performance.

This video features a complete build of a Hornet in 48th scale. The modification is ATARS and the kit is spiced up a bit by the builder. It features a demo of DN Models mask set and how to deal with the specific camouflage. There are many tips and tricks that can be learned from this video and shows clearly that even a relatively old model with many imperfections can be turned into a piece of art.

This is a demo-testing video of Iwata Knock-off Pistol Grip .3mm nozzle airbrush. As you can see in the video, the airbrush performs very nicely, even though there are some flaws. Such airbrushes are ten or more times cheaper than the real-deal and with some needle polishing /or exchange/, constant maintenance and attention, they can be trusty companion in your modeling career. This video will be helpful for those on a budget that look for a decent tool that costs only fraction of the price of the most serious and valuable devices.

This is a in-box review of the HobbyBoss #81769 - MV-22 Osprey in 48th scale. After 20 years of no new tooling for the Boeing/Bell Osprey, HobbyBoss finally released a kit that should be improved and superior option to the Italeri that was available in the late 90s. Despite the rise of the Scale Modeling business in every aspect during the last decade, Osprey STOL/VTOL aircraft is still one of the least produced kits and there are no enough options on the market. HobbyBoss gives a clear sign that with this tooling, there might be a whole new line of kits upcoming in the next couple years and hopefully, that will serve as an incentive to the competitors to create more options of that unique aircraft in this an other scales.
