Some of my photographs I considered lost suddenly emerged somehow. There were other interesting details of Slovak Su-25K airplanes and their armament among them. All those photographs were shot in 2002 inside the hangars of Kuchyna Air Base while it was opened up for public. (Pls. note, that Kuchyna means “kitchen” in Slovak language)
Ako sa ukázalo, niektoré fotografie ktoré sa sa mi zatúlali, sa znova vynorili. Boli medzi nimi aj ďalšie zaujímavé detaily Su-25K a jej výzbroje. Všetko sú to zábery z roku 2002, ktoré som nafotil v hangári základne Kuchyňa v dňoch, keď bola sprístupnená verejnosti.
The kit building process can be found in my previous post called Building the FLITZER, part I., while in this second part I wrote about the finishing work on this nice Revell kit (colouring, decals, patina) and also posted more completed kit photographs here.

First of all I have to say that the Focke Wulf FLITZER is one of the German WW II. projects. So this Revell 1/72 scale model kit is only some kind of a “what if” airplane – which was neither finished nor flewn. Only a 1:1 wooden model was completed in 1944 and tested in the wind tunnel. The brief – but interestng history of German WW II. era jet plane projects development can be found in this kit’s Instruction manual.
Peter Jankovič mi poslal zaujímavé fotografie improvizovaného pancierového vlaku. Zreštaurovaný vlak, ktorý je žiaľ bez lokomotívy, nafotil v železničnom múzeu Bratislava Rendez (v priestoroch starého rušňového depa Bratislava východ).
Na obrázku vozne: tykadlový, delový, tankový a guľometový (podľa originál označenia na tabuliach).
This is the third part of my MiG-21 walkaround documenting Slovak retired planes. The undercarriage details of No. 1208 are all here. Please note: some of the colors may vary with different airplanes.
Here is the follow-up of my previous article depicting the Slovak MiG-21 MA (MF) planes in Kuchyna Air Base. I photographed one of these planes – No. 1208, standing alone and engineless earlier in 2001. I made several close-ups shooting the areas I consider interesting for me (as a modeller). I hope these pics will help you building your own MiG-21 model kits too.
