15 July 2017 : Today I proudly present Model Maniac Page 97 - Part A. In this Part "Art Instructor" presents 7 new pieces of work. Starting with 3 warplanes in 1:72 scale (Fw-190 A-4 from Zvezda, P-47D from Hasegawa and TB-58A Hustler 1:72), followed by 2 modern submarines in 1:350 scale (Soviet K-3 from Zvezda and Victor III from HobbyBoss); then topping it off with diorama "German Horse-drawn 2.8cm AT Gun" and German Empire Krupp 420mm Big Bertha from Takom. As always, I hope you'll enjoy viewing!

I'd like to thank for all kind feedbacks and compliments that we received concerning Page 96 - Part D. They are very encouraging and they inspire us to keep producing quality models & dioramas and showing finest quality pictures. Comments and suggestions are welcome in my Model Maniac Forum and in my Facebook Group named Model Maniac

012 - 025 : Hasegawa's P-47D Thunderbolt 1:72

026 - 042 : Italeri's TB-58A Hustler 1:72
This is an old and rare kit. Its parts were smeared and its instruction sheets were destroyed by termites. But with the help of John (jeaton01), a fellow member at finescale.com, the instruction sheets have been made available and this kit can be built. It's amazing to know that after 20-30 years, all decals still work fine for this kit.

051 - 060 : HobbyBoss' Soviet Navy Victor III Class (Project671RTMK) SSN 1:350
