  1. Selling my house presents to myself!!! After painting well over 150 scale model kits since 2013 my trusting Iwata Airbrush was starting to show its age so I decided to really step up my painting game by purchasing a Harder & Steenbeck Evolution 2024 CRplus Airbrush which is an absolute thing of beauty!! Plus I’m looking forward to building the Stug and Churchill!
  2. Hubert we absolutely enjoyed our Viking River Cruise aboard the Torgil. The staff, the food, the scenery, wine country, the many locks, the small down etc. We’d definitely enjoy spending more time in Portugal and Porto. We said over dinner last night that if we moved abroad we’d learn Portuguese and head straight to Porto!!!
  3. Not sure I understood step 6 instructions concerning the correct way to install the idler wheels. Luckily the kit come with a few extra plastic track links which I added to the rubber tracks to make them fit. Painting, weather and a splash of mud will hide my error!!
  4. We absolutely did! While Lisbon was beautiful Porto was stunningly breathtaking taking. We roamed the street day and night for three days and totally enjoyed ourselves. We traveled on a Viking River Cruise all the way to the Portuguese/Spanish borders. we particularly enjoyed the four locks plus all the grapevine farms along the way.
  5. I totally understand. Airbrushes are very personal. I’ve produced around 200 kits since 2013 staring with a Neo and moving on up to an Iwata Eclipse HP-CS.
  6. It’s been a long time coming plus I’ve almost worn out my trusty Iwata, lol!!!
  7. I’m very excited to have a HS after all these years. I’m looking forward to all the new spraying techniques I’m going to learn.
  8. Last night I decided to assemble and install the road wheels to their boggies and paint them along with the lower hull rather than individually. I’ll finish the others this morning.
  9. Also did some additional seam sanding along the forward fuselage and cockpit area.
  10. Fran I had forgotten you lived in Porto Portugal! We were there last September on a river cruise. Absolutely loved the city and it’s people!!
  11. Turned out to be a chilly rainy day so rather than take a trip over to the storage site to work on the Flair dashboard I decided to stay home, do some projects around the house and continuing to build my Easy Eight lower hull. Completed steps 11 through 13 assembling the suspension boggies, remaining return rollers plus stapled the tracks together. That completes the lower hull.
  12. Other than the rubber track, would rather see link in link tracks that come with many new Tamiya armor releases, it’s a stellar kit. I’m adding lots of stowage plus a Tamiya 1/35 German bike to add interest.
  13. Oh wow I had no idea!! There’s safety in numbers, lol!!! I look forward to following the other builds. Always looking for new ideas and techniques.
