Very cool. I want to do a armor piece with an interior!

Very nicely done! To bad they've discontinued that kit as it was a beauty!!

Sprayed base coat of Tamiya light gray today.

Finished the wood grain around the exterior of the cockpit, masked and painted the fuselage OD, set the engine and cowling and added the bottom wing and tail surfaces today!!

Progress continues on the Sopwith!! Working on the wood grain cockpit interior. Cockpit. Really like the brass work! Seam work! Priming the fuselage. Dry fitting the engine and cowling.

Finished the Panthers mounting stand!! All done, lol!!!

Thanks Mike I really enjoyed building Tamiya!

I agree Erik. While peace time tanks do get dirty during field maneuvers once they returned to the barn crews would meticulously clean and service them hoping to be the squadron best!!

Really looking forward to watching this build!

Holy cow no instructions!! Do you have to pay extra for them, lol!!

Good Morning Rick! Hope all is well? Any snow up north yet? Looked around Squadron.com this morning and have to say pricing at eBay and even my local HobbyTown USA are considerably better!! Pricing on Tamiya armor kits are extremely high!! In this economy with value seeking modelers like myself Squadron’s pricing really seems a bit out of line!!

Really enjoyed this build. Hats off to Tamiya!!

Thanks Pardelhas for the kind comment. I'm using this Revell Spowith and Spad kit to practice all the techniques needed to build my WingNut Fokker D.V11 (A1b). So far I have really enjoyed learning how the simulate wood grain. Very cool process I must say!

Wonderful pictures Guy. Thanks for posting them as I'm sure they will be a great reference to whoever builds this new Lanc!

Getting ready for bed but wondering who would win a gun for gun shooting match??? Night all

Busy day yesterday!! Started detailing and weathering the hull. Love the antennas! 48 road wheels later!!! Dry fitted the tracks before painting!

Primed, highlighted panel lines and painted the OD base coat.

A bit of dry fitting!

Wow nice job on the Ho229!! Looks like its a great kit?

Great turret detail! Off to the paint shop!!

Oh yea!! I'll prime it and then highlight the panels first followed by a base coat of OD and then a lighter OD spot coat to emulate fading! Then I'll spray with Future, followed by Flory washes and pigments. Fiinally I'll seal with Revell Matt Finish.

Beautiful craftsmanship!!

Made very good progress on the M48A3 Patton yesterday. I'll finish the turret today, send it to the paint shop for priming and highlighting then start the road wheels!

Thanks Layton! I'm enjoying these Tamiya armor kits!

Working on the upper hull!
