I visited a model show in Budapest in this December. there were many "usual" kits (Su-27 variants, German AVFs, etc), but there were two very strange and very great models. The first one was a Leopold-type gun on two Tiger II chassis (it was in plans, but never built), the second was a Zero, or rather like the wreck of a Zero as it was found lying in the shallow waters for more than 4 decades. I was magnificent. You could just see the fish swimming, crabs moving around - it was one of the best diorama I have ever seen. And the batteries died in my camera just minutes before I got to this model.

Yesterday I found a photo of it by Szász Róbert on a webpage -it worth checking it out.

The kit does not look as realistic on the photo as in real life (I guess with a studio lightening you could make better photos) - yet it's still unbelievable.


The photo can be found in the following location: Stefania
Check the others out, too.

More great builds, some are really unique.
(The homepage of the builder is the following: http://www.albatros.iweb.hu/keret.cgi?/makettek/makett.htm
Worth checking out all his builts. By clicking on the photos you can see the models from different angles.)

Anyway, some of the models are:

1. wreckage of a Ju-88

I am very glad that spongya put these pictures on the forum. We have tried to convince the author on our home forum to move, but he hesitated, because of his lack of english knowledge. I really suggest everybody to check the other planes on his site! That 1/72 P-47D is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen.
One more note: "cikk" beside the name of the planes means that there is a separate detailed article about the build. The two faded out topic on the top of the list are the "under construction" and I can't resist to copy here another exaple from the ongoing crashed MC130 Combat Talon:
Edited: check the page, because if I link, the image is changed by some jscript to an ad.
